allerton and the kingsbridge area got hit hard. as was parkchester. one vendor said he slept in a storage unit where he stores his merchandise because he can no longer afford rent after ticket fines. he started vending because he got injured on his construction job. 2/

a kingsbridge vendor told @jonnycustodio they've seen officers confiscate products on multiple occasions from a fruit vendor. vendor sweeps also happened multiple times over the last year, Emily Swanson reported. 3/
