A serial litterer once again casts porn, Bible pages and mail onto a Greenpoint street

WNYC News | Jan 23, 2024

Someone is routinely discarding pages of vintage porn, Bibles and erotic novels on the sidewalks of Huron Street in Greenpoint, residents say.

It’s a mystery eerily similar to one that was solved last spring just a few blocks away on Noble Street. In that case, residents found reams of precisely sliced pages of porn, Bibles and old Reader’s Digests scattered in the street every Sunday morning for four years. After a private security firm identified the culprit as an NYPD sergeant, the police department docked him a day’s pay and the littering stopped.

But a few blocks away on Huron Street, residents were experiencing their own trashy whodunnit. John Himmelman, vice president of a condo development on Huron Street, said that every few weeks he would emerge from his apartment to find litter strewn everywhere. One memorable morning, the pages were filled with women’s derrieres.

“I walk downstairs and the first thing I see is butts, Buttz Magazine, all over the block,” Himmelman said.

The strange sequel was first reported by Greenpointers.
