- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- New York City, a global icon of culture and diversity, faces significant challenges in maintaining urban cleanliness. Recent data indicates a nearly 250% increase in sidewalk garbage complaints since 2019, with 41,023 complaints recorded between September 2023 and September 2024. Additionally, the city has experienced a surge in rat sightings, exacerbated by improper waste management practices. These issues not only affect the city’s aesthetics but also pose public health risks.
