War on Roosevelt Avenue: Sex workers push back as NYPD, City Hall cracks down on prostitution and illegal vendors in Queens

The raids continue on Queens’ Roosevelt Avenue a week after City Hall declared war on the prostitution and other illegal businesses that have long lined the thoroughfare.

Late Monday night, cops shuttered an alleged brothel located at 90-25 Roosevelt Ave. in Corona as part of the “Operation Restore Roosevelt” program. The darkened windows had been slapped with a handful of vacate orders, shutting down what a local mother cited as a disturbing business to live near with her children.
