The building next to me has 10 tenants charging these things inside of their apt. I'm so scared of a fire. The landlord doesn't care and does nothing. Are there no regulations about charging these things in residential buildings
Same. 15 illegal mopeds parked on the sidewalk and front yard. NYPD says there's nothing they can do.
Another illegal ebike battery. When are we going to ban these things?
@kevino1 sadly true.
And they want everyone to switch over to battery operated cars.
That's why all these scooters should be illegal
