By Sara Dorn and Brad Hamilton. February 2, pm Updated February 2, pm. A tiny Queens block has become a booming hotbed of hookers operating out of at least eight Chinese massage parlors, The Post found. Post reporters were solicited three times in the span of two hours on Friday and Saturday on the street. The woman, wearing heavy dark eye make-up and red lipstick, led him up a narrow stairway to a dimly-lit pink waiting room where a gaggle of listless Asian women lounged in lingerie.
She walked the reporter into one of eight rooms, ordered him to undress, and watched while he did so β not standard practice in therapeutic massage. She seemed surprised when he climbed onto the table on his stomach and said his shoulders were tight. You want regular massage, OK!
She kneaded his muscles for a few minutes, then peeled off her dress, removed her panties and pulled out a strip of condoms. Complaints filed with the city Buildings Department show allegations of prostitution at the address, including one in November.
The Post obtained shared surveillance tapes showing dozens of men entering and leaving with women, including one clad only in panties and a shirt. One tape features a man groping a young escort from behind as the two walk up the stairs together.
A woman in a puffy white coat approached a second reporter outside 40th Road β the same location as the death leap in β Saturday. A lady died from this and nothing has happened. We need constant enforcement, so that the cost of doing business becomes too great for that business to sustain itself.
