NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Something fishy is going on in Bensonhurst,
Brooklyn – and some residents say it stinks so much they have been calling
311 to complain.
As CBS2’s Alice Gainer reported Friday, a line of half-wrapped dead fish is
hanging on the roof of a home in the neighborhood, and many neighbors are
not pleased.
“Sure it smells — especially at that time when they hang it in the back,
so I tell them all the time, but they don’t listen to nobody,” said
neighbor Sal Felse.
CBS2’s Gainer did not smell anything on Friday. But neighbors along the
stretch of 64th Street said it is worse when the weather is warmer.
But the stench is not the biggest concern.
“Rodents and insects — it’s very unsanitary,” one neighbor said.
“That side — they used to get mice,” another said. “I don’t know if
they still do.”
Neighbors said the residents have been hanging fish on the roof for a long
time. CBS2 caught up with the homeowner outside, who rents out the two
apartments inside.
When asked if she would take the fish down, the woman said, “I don’t know.
” But she does not speak much English, so CBS2 went to another neighbor’s
house to translate.
“She says she doesn’t want to talk about it,” the neighbor said.
When Gainer noted that people are worried about insects, rodents and
sanitary conditions, the homeowner again said, “I don’t know.”
The renter who put the fish out was not home Friday. People in the
neighborhood said it was not the first time they had seen such a thing in
the area.
One woman who did not want to go on camera explained that it is an ancient
way of drying the fish. And some people who passed by said it didn’t really
bother them.
“It’s a little peculiar — we don’t think much of it, actually,” said
Dan Lin. “Most of the time, I just kind of pass by.”
When asked if he smells anything walking by, neighbor Raymond Bong said, “
Not at all.”
But others have called 311 for help to no avail.
The fish did come down once the sun went down Friday. As to whether it would
stay that way, neighbors said you’d best not hold your breath – or maybe
you should.
CBS2 reached out to the city, and officials said there is nothing illegal
about hanging fish in such a fashion. But they did say it would be an issue
if it were attracting vermin. | b******i 发帖数: 4776 | 2 华裔居民在窗外晾咸鱼 遭白人邻居投诉
2015年11月20日 16:04 世界新闻网 小 中 大
布碌仑18大道一户华裔居民在二楼窗外挑竿晾咸鱼,遭到白人邻居的投诉。但接到投诉
的311接线员却说,他们不知道其邻居违反了什么法令,因此无法行动。市府的反应令
这名白人邻居备感无奈。据悉,在自家窗外晾咸鱼的这户华裔家庭住在布碌仑宾臣墟区
18大道交64街。日前住在街对面的白人女邻居克里斯托(Cynthia Christo)开门后,
惊见对面楼上一个竹竿上挂着一排不明物体,她定睛细看发现是条条鱼儿。
之后,她又见到华裔邻居用一个板子不停地拍打一条条鱼,令其诧异!原来华裔邻居正
在窗外晾咸鱼。见到此景,这名白人妇女对邻居在窗外自制咸鱼感到担忧,担心恶臭会
引来老鼠,并还发愁在这寒冷的季节里,不知这些咸鱼要在外面晒多久。
于是克里斯汀致电311投诉,但却被市府工作人员告知,他们不知其华裔邻居违反了什
么法令,也无法找到相关条例,因此无法采取行动。
其实,该案并不是布碌仑区的首例。今年7月时,在华人聚集的布碌仑戴克高地,有一
名华裔妇女在门前的人行道上晒虾,当时一只只红彤彤的虾子有数百只,也招来邻居的
投诉。随后,市卫生局上门调查,谁知得到的答复是这户华人早将虾子都吃了。
华裔居民于窗前晒咸鱼的事件经当地媒体报道后,在社区也引来不同的反响。意外的是
有不少读者支持这家华裔居民的做法,一名读者留言说,若这户人家在飞鸟吃掉咸鱼前
大功告成,那真是可喜可贺!另一名读者留言质问说,这是卫生问题吗?我认为那些投
诉者本身是肮脏之人。还有一名读者说,葡萄干不也是晒干的吗?难道投诉者不吃葡萄
干吗?
但是,也有不少读者表示反对,其中一人竟留言说,这户人家应滚回他原居国去!而在
这条留言下竟有不少人点赞,留下鼓掌的图案以回应。 | h*********g 发帖数: 9102 | | s*******1 发帖数: 16479 | 4 哪个无德的人在家门口这样晒鱿鱼的,吓的老子还以为外星人入侵地球了!!! | c****t 发帖数: 5452 | | B*Q 发帖数: 25729 | |
