3 NYC Agencies Raid Queens Brothel: Report

NEW YORK CITY — A brothel in Queens was raided by multiple New York agencies Monday night.

The NYPD, FDNY and Department of Buildings raided a business at 90-25 Elmhurst Ave. in Jackson Heights around 11 p.m., District Leader Hiram Monserrate told PIX11 News.

The brothel had been in operation for nearly a year, according to the report.

The raid comes close to a week after city officials announced "Operation Restore Roosevelt" in Queens.

The operation will launch for 90 days and cover the avenue from 74th Street to 111th Street, officials said.

The NYPD, sanitation department, homeless services and the Queens District Attorney’s Office will be spearheading the task force.

Adams said crime and prostitution have plagued Roosevelt Avenue.

"We will end sex trafficking in this area. We are not here for one day and go away. We're here for the problem to go away," he said at a press conference.

The NYPD will send nine lieutenants, 42 sergeants and 176 police officers to patrol the area.

Similarly, Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed New York state troopers on Tuesday to help the NYPD along Roosevelt Avenue, according to a New York Post report.
