The Cleanest Sidewalks in Dumbo

If you've ever walked through Dumbo on your way to work, perhaps you've noticed how comparatively clean the sidewalks get when walking in front of the complex of buildings at 90 Sands Street. If not, next time you're walking through Dumbo notice the sidewalks. You'll notice the sidewalks are dirty until you walk on the sidewalks surrounding 90 Sands Street and its connected complex of buildings: 77 Sands Street; 175 Pearl Street, 81 Prospect Street; 117 Adams Street.

What's truly noteworthy is that these same sidewalks were just as clean 15 years ago, perhaps even longer than before I've known about them. The property owners are Jehovah's Witnesses, and from what I understand, they pressure clean the city sidewalks surrounding their property even though they aren't responsible for keeping them clean.
