Public urination violations are soaring across the boroughs, according to bladder-busting new data, revealing a nearly 50% increase in 9-1-1 calls related to the odorous offense since April 2025.
It’s an uptick in tinkling that’s more than a wee bit alarming.
Peeing in parks, walkways, roadways and on the sides of buildings is, unfortunately, hotly hip among New Yorkers this year, as law enforcement has received a staggering 316 complaints of public urination thus far in 2026. The number of indecent infractions is up from 214 during the same period last year — a sizable 47.7% increase.
Almost kinda sad to see what NYC is turning into.
