Presentation by Mr. Kai Smith
- New York City Community Cleanup
Mr. Smith stated that his organization is a small group funded by the City that is focused on cleaning up streets. There is an 11-person crew based on Schermerhorn Street that travels the borough. From vacant lots to graffiti cleanup, Mr. Smith and his team reach out to property owners and clean up sites at no cost.
Mr. Smith requested the support of community residents by taking photos of sites and emailing them to his office.
Their motto is ‘you point it out and we’ll clean it up.” They focus on publicly owned sites. Kai Smith’s phone number is 917-224-2072. The website is www.cleanupnyc.org.
