Seen In Borough Park: Sanitation

Sanitation Depot, 19th Avenue. Photo credit: Brian Hedden

This Sanitation garage is part of a complex that straddles both sides of 19th Avenue, between Gravesend Park on one side, and Washington Cemetery and FDR High School on the other. Newly-elected City Councilmember David Greenfield expressed an interest in moving this depot – presumably out of the district – to make way for more (and affordable) residential housing. The Sanitation employee I talked to didn’t seem to mind, assuming another suitable location is found for the complex. I didn’t think to ask him how long it already took him to get into work.
