Ou Zhou has hit it big selling fast, low-cost electric bikes and mopeds to delivery workers, transforming New York City streets in the process. But can his empire survive?

Cars without license plates are the new scourge of New York City roadways, but the Adams administration is failing to crack down on them, allowing tens of thousands of drivers to avoid tickets and sow chaos on the street.

The new legislation follows a seven-month Streetsblog investigation that found widespread fraud involving temp tags, with car dealers abusing weak state regulations and selling paper plates illegally to drivers using them to evade accountability on the road.

The explosions raise questions about the city's decision to use a paving material that other cities have phased out because of safety and environmental risks, an official said.

As thousands of guards returned to street corners across the city last week for the reopening of public schools, records obtained by Streetsblog reveal the dangers that guards face on the job.
