Police Shutter Brothel Near Schools in AOC's District

  • Since 2019, major crime has surged by 70% in the congressional district covering parts of the Bronx and Queens represented by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, more than double the city's overall 30% increase.
  • The surge followed local issues with rampant gang activity, drug trafficking, and illegal brothels, including the 'bodega brothel' on Roosevelt Avenue.
  • Activists and former officials, like Hiram Monserrate, led rallies and pushed for enforcement while criticizing Ocasio-Cortez for limited involvement.
  • Operation Restore Roosevelt launched by Mayor Adams made over 1,800 arrests and achieved a 37% crime drop, but advocates say federal action is still needed.
  • The district’s crime increase and ongoing issues suggest persistent public safety challenges amid criticism of local leadership and calls for further intervention.
