Angry residents and workers Sunday decried the hordes of hookers brazenly peddling themselves on a Queens street, where it was business as usual the day after The Post exposed the rampant illegal trade.

“The police do nothing — nothing!” fumed Anna Garcia, 42, who works at a cell-phone store along the seedy stretch of Roosevelt Avenue in Corona dubbed the “Market of Sweethearts” by the prostitutes.

“Drugs, prostitution, alcohol — it’s terrible,” she said of the flagrant “underground” red-light district taking over the neighborhood filled with families with children.

Residents in the sex-plagued section said the scantily clad streetwalkers even proposition children — and yet cops spend more time hassling street vendors than the prostitutes who have flooded the once-peaceful block.

“I have younger kids,” said mom of six Maria Valle, 40. “One is 14, one is 8, and one is 5. And these girls, they try to pull them in and sell them their services. Even the kids! They’re really forceful about it.”

Valle said she also has had drunken pervs lined up outside her door looking for sex from the hookers — who force her 19-year-old son to have to criss-cross the street walking home from work to avoid being propositioned by them.

“The problem is that [the prostitutes] all lined up outside, they’re working on the whole block,” she said. “So the men think our house is where they do business. We’ll open our door, and then men will be lined up right there asking, ‘Oh, does this place also give services?’

“They’re drunk. Mostly at night, but at night it gets really bad,” the mom said.

Local Anaise Bedsabed said she worries about her young daughter being exposed to sex workers.

“She might think this is what it means to be attractive,” the mother said. “And that’s a problem. She asks me questions about them. It makes me really uncomfortable. It’s not good for her.”

In an exclusive report Saturday, The Post revealed that nearly a dozen sleazy brothels have set up shop in the neighborhood, with the illicit sex trade spilling out onto Roosevelt Avenue near Junction Boulevard.

The brothels openly post ads on YouTube that target Spanish-speaking clients explaining how to negotiate with a prostitute for a $200 massage with a “happy ending.”

Brothel operators and sex workers have enlisted even children to hand out fliers peddling their services.

Queens prosecutors have shut down at least a half-dozen brothels since June, but that hasn’t stopped the open-air sex trade from thriving, The Post found.

Cops in the NYPD’s 110th and 115th Precincts, which patrol Corona and surrounding neighborhoods, have made only six prostitution arrests this year — and no busts for sex-trafficking.

“I’m surprised the cops don’t do anything about it,” said cafe manager Rosa Claseca. “It’s obvious. The police see them. So, why haven’t they done anything about it?

“They’re at every block,” said Claseca, 37, of the sex scofflaws. “I have a 13-year-old, and he knows what it is already. They’re always there. … They’re there every morning since 7 o’clock.”

Locals claimed that cops are more focused on harmless street vendors than the streetwalkers around them.

“On the street, some people, they are selling juice and stuff like this,” said grocery store worker Aaron Valente, 42. “And the police come and say, ‘Where is your permit?’

“But they don’t bother the girls,” Valente said. “The cops just come, and they don’t say anything.”

Food-truck worker Maria Garcia said she’s been squeezed by New York’s Finest even as the drunken “johns” who line the street wreak havoc — with no one harassing them.

“They fight about price, they fight about which one is going upstairs with which girl,” Garcia said of the people patronizing the prostitutes.

“I think the kind of harassment the police give food trucks like us, they should do to these women,” she said of the hookers.

“[Cops] check to see our permit, they check to make sure everything is in order. Recently they had a crackdown on these trucks. But they never touch the prostitutes.”

The NYPD has told The Post in a statement, “The NYPD has proactively shifted the work of vice enforcement in recent years, reflecting our ongoing efforts to focus with precision on those who would purchase sex or promote its sale.

“We have significantly reduced the number of arrests for prostitution itself as we work in every case to connect the victims of human trafficking with the services they need,” the Police Department said.

“We have also worked to proactively deter individual buyers of sex. Yet prostitution in all forms remains prohibited by law.”
