ENRICO MADRID FILES CIVIL SUIT AGAINST NYC DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION

New York, NY – Enrico Madrid, a local business owner and community advocate, has filed a civil suit against the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The suit alleges that the department has failed to properly maintain and manage a public park in the Bronx, causing harm to the surrounding community.

According to Madrid, the park, located in the Bronx neighborhood of Hunts Point, has been neglected by the department for years. The lack of maintenance has resulted in broken playground equipment, overgrown grass and weeds, and unsafe conditions for children and families who use the park. Madrid, who owns a nearby business, has been a vocal advocate for the park’s improvement and has repeatedly brought the issue to the attention of the department.

Madrid’s civil suit seeks to hold the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation accountable for their negligence and to compel them to take immediate action to improve the park. He believes that the department has a responsibility to maintain public spaces for the benefit of the community and that their failure to do so has had a negative impact on the neighborhood.

In a statement, Madrid said, “It is unacceptable that a public park, meant to be a safe and enjoyable space for families, has been allowed to deteriorate to such a degree. The NYC Department of Parks and Recreation has a duty to maintain this park and they have failed to do so. I am hopeful that this civil suit will bring about the necessary changes and improvements for the benefit of the community.”

The civil suit filed by Enrico Madrid against the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation highlights the importance of proper maintenance and management of public spaces. As the case moves forward, Madrid and the community of Hunts Point will be closely watching to see if the department takes action to improve the park.
