A towing company criticized for using the streets of Maspeth as a private junkyard was temporarily bounced from a city program, and documents from the city Department of Buildings indicate that it should not even be operating a wrecking business at all..
American Collision, at 60-05 Flushing Ave., is no longer allowed to tow cars from accident sites on behalf of the NYPD as part of a city program, according to the city Department of Consumer Affairs, which suspended the towing company’s privileges until a hearing is conducted July 14.
The business has drawn heavy criticism for leaving banged-up autos parked along nearby residential streets, which neighbors said takes up parking spots and makes the neighborhood look bad.
“When a company has been doing what American Collision has been doing for so many years, abusing the neighborhood and turning our streets into a junkyard, they don’t deserve to be part of any city program that is funded by taxpayers,” said Bob Holden, civic leader and vocal critic of the company. DCA’s suspension came from two complaints that the company overcharged for their services, and an inspection revealed that the business did not have log books required to participate in the program on hand.
