Cops shutter two Jackson Heights brothels, including one operating opposite CM Krishnan’s office

The NYPD shuttered two alleged brothels in Jackson Heights after multiple residents raised concerns to Council Member Shekar Krishnan, with one of the brothels operating almost directly opposite Krishnan's district office on 75th Street. The NYPD raided the alleged brothel at 37-45 75th St. on Oct. 28 after Krishnan's office received multiple reports throughout October. The illicit establishment was located almost directly opposite Krishnan's office and had been the source of numerous complaints. Meanwhile, Krishnan's office said the NYPD shuttered a second alleged brothel at 37-65 74th St. at some point last week. Krishnan said he shared concerns with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, the 115th Precinct and Queens North leadership after multiple residents contacted his office throughout October. A spokesperson for the NYPD said the NYPD's Vice Enforcement Division shuttered the 75th Street brothel on Oct. 28 pursuant to a Queens County Supreme Court nuisance abatement case.
