NEW YORK (PIX11) — New York City drivers’ need for speed is lining the city’s pockets with millions of dollars.

In the five months since New York City implemented 24/7 speed cameras, there have been nearly 3 million violations and the city has raked in nearly $100 million, according to the New York City Comptroller’s Office. The data encompasses statistics from Aug. 1 to Dec. 20.

Another $66.5 million, which includes late penalties, court-determined reductions, and interest, remains outstanding, officials said.

The most speedsters were caught in Queens and Brooklyn, with 1,079,642 and 949,004 violations, respectively, officials said. Nearly 440,000 speeding tickets were issued in the Bronx and just over 227,000 in Manhattan. Staten Island had the least violations at around 18,600.

A spokesperson for the Department of Transportation said the agency did not have the exact camera locations that generated the most fines.

There are roughly 2,000 speed cameras in the five boroughs and each ticket costs drivers $50. The cameras were turned on full-time on Aug. 1. Prior to that, the cameras were offline from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Since the cameras began operating 24/7, speeding has decreased by 25% across the city, according to the DOT spokesperson.

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today unveiled recommendations from a city-led task force to facilitate the conversion of underused office space into new housing for New Yorkers. Crafted by the Office Adaptive Reuse Task Force, and led by New York City Department of City Planning (DCP) Director Dan Garodnick, the New York City Office Adaptive Reuse Study presents 11 concrete recommendations that would make changes to state laws and city zoning requirements in an effort to extend the most flexible conversion regulations to an additional 136 million square feet of office space — roughly the amount of office space in the entire city of Philadelphia. While property owners will make determinations whether to convert their buildings, with these recommendations in place and current city and state regulations, office conversions could potentially create as many as 20,000 homes in the next decade, enough to house up to 40,000 New Yorkers.

“With this study, we have a roadmap to deliver on a vision for a more vibrant, resilient, prosperous, and affordable city,” said Mayor Adams. “The need for housing is desperate, and the opportunity offered by underused office space is clear — we know what we need to do. These concrete reforms would clear red tape and create the incentives to create the housing we need for New Yorkers at all income levels. I want to thank the members of the task force for helping to chart the course, and I look forward to working with them and our partners in city and state government to deliver these much-needed reforms.”

“Enabling more offices to convert to housing will help us bring back our commercial districts while also addressing our housing supply crisis,” said Deputy Mayor for Economic and Workforce Development Maria Torres-Springer. “The recommendations in this report will set us on the path to achieving these critical goals, and I look forward to partnering with our colleagues in Albany and the City Council to ‘Get Stuff Built.’”

The study outlines a path forward to deliver on goals outlined in “‘New’ New York: Making New York Work for Everyone,” an action plan released in December by Mayor Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul — including reimagining the city’s commercial districts as vibrant 24/7 destinations, making Midtown Manhattan and other business districts more mixed-use and flexible, and expanding the city’s supply of housing. It also builds on Mayor Adams’ “Get Stuff Built,” “City of Yes,” and “Housing Our Neighbors” plans, which include significant steps to tackle the city’s severe housing shortage. Increasing opportunities to repurpose underused office space for housing and other uses is critical to achieving those goals.

“After every crisis, New York City reinvents itself, which is why it is so important for our codes and regulations to stay flexible. The Office Adaptive Reuse Task Force recommendations will help us meet the moment and rise to each new challenge with a built environment that is as dynamic and diverse as New Yorkers themselves,” said Chief Housing Officer Jessica Katz. “To solve our housing shortage, we need every tool possible. Our administration’s housing blueprint, Housing Our Neighbors, calls for leveraging zoning to encourage more affordable and supportive housing citywide, helping families access new neighborhoods with amenities, jobs, and schools close by, which every New Yorker deserves.”

“Our ability to remain a global leader in a rapidly evolving and changing economy will depend on our ability to adapt,” said DCP Director and City Planning Commission Chair Garodnick. “Working closely with the City Council and our colleagues in Albany, we will build clear rules and set this city up for success.”

they headed for america. NYC is america texas has no obligation to just be expected to take these people, because liberals think they should. el paso is a disaster right now

and fukk the federal funds, that doesnt come close to letting texas house this influx of migrants. how is NYC gonna brag about being a "sanctuary", then cry that it bankrupts them? how is that not proving abbott's point to a T that these people should be turned away?

i dont want to give eric adams my money; id rather turn them away. why is that a wrong position?

Stop it slime, Abbot is a human smuggler

 

[the cac mamba]

Stop it slime, Abbot is a human smuggler

you're just mad because abbott ethered all the democrats' We Are The World bullshyt, about how inviting all these migrants in is a blessing

2 fukkin million of them show up at the southern border every year, expecting to be housed, and Adams is crying over a few busloads after bragging about being a sanctuary city

there is NO REASON texas can't ship this burden anywhere else in america. none. abbott is correct to force sanctimonious blue states to take their fair share. or they're welcome to sign on to shutting the border down

 

[Wargames]

should have been done 2 or 3 decades ago and we would have gotten more for the money thats about to be spent but better late than never. they gonna need way more than 3,500 housing units tho.

The thing with this is those is people don’t have any foresight

bro Wtf are you talking about. I was saying day one the Dems needed to prosecute Abbott over this bullshyt and eventually I think they will. Just let some kid die (again) because of Abbots bullshyt or some other shyt and they’ll have an excuse to do what they should have done and prosecute that punk.

what kid is going to die because he was put on a Greyhound bus?

absolute clown shyt; nobody's prosecuting abbott for a nonexistent crime. the only kids dying are on the trip TO the border, because they perceive it as open, or they're being fukkin trafficked and smuggled TO america. you sound like a fool.

Is he ensuring they have any medicine or access to treatment before shipping the, America.

I seen a guy die at a bus station when I was in college from a heart attack. When the heart attack starter there was no way get him help on a bus in the middle of no where until we reached the bus station almost an hour later.

It’s only a matter of when, not if

Adam’s sucks but this is a state to state issue and there is a chance the feds get involved.

Like I said “Human Smuggling”

“Let me just Coyote these undocumented immigrants and send them to another state without any legal permission to do so. Also let me give my donor the shipping contracts so I can benefit from spending state funds”
