In a rather disturbing DNAinfo report posted Tuesday, neighbors living on 17th Street near Sixth Avenue over in South Slope (or Greenwood Heights, as I guess we’re calling it now) say their block has become “a dumping ground for feces and urine.”

And they say the problem is getting worse. From the report:

Someone has been leaving piles of poop, pee, paper towels and feminine hygiene products on the block sporadically for the past four years, and in the past four months there’s been an onslaught of 15 disgusting dumpings, said local resident Barbara Eidinger.

Late Sunday night, the mystery dumper left a foul stew of poop and pee at the base of three sycamore trees along the north side of 17th Street overlooking the Prospect Expressway.

“The block smelled like a pissoir on Monday morning,” said Eidinger, a retiree who spends her free time tidying up the block, where she’s lived for 64 years.
