By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on September 5, 2024

A whopping two-thirds of New York City public restrooms either had health and safety hazards or were kept closed during operating hours, according to a new City Council report released Thursday.

The survey, dubbed Nature’s Call: An Assessment of NYC Park Restrooms, includes observations from staffers with the council’s Oversight and Investigations Division of 102 public lavatories accross the city, according to the report. Council staffers gathered the data by visiting one men’s and one women’s bathroom in each of the city’s 51 Council Districts between July 9 and 11 during the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
