A homeless couple has set up camp in Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) old neighborhood, Astoria, and locals are sick and tired of their disturbing behavior.

The couple has been accused of drinking, having sex, and pooping in pizza boxes while frustrated locals try to go about their daily routines, the New York Post reported Saturday.

The pair that was identified as Michael and Marabel have taken over the sidewalk on 30th Avenue where neighbor Chris Shingler said he noticed them one day.

“I’m on the way to the gym, 8:30 a.m., the guy is squatting over a camp chair and the other woman is holding a pizza box under him to defecate in,” he recalled, adding it was also an area where many children live and go to nearby schools.

Shingler said his wife also witnessed the woman performing oral sex on her partner.

Meanwhile, the Post said a reporter recently saw the couple become enraged when cleaners hired by a nearby building tried to get them to move.

In a stunning display of advanced civics and urban charm, a homeless duo in Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s old stomping ground of Astoria have taken multitasking to new lows, turning public sidewalks into a no-holds-barred episode of “Survivor: Sidewalk Edition.” Locals, who presumably didn’t sign up for a live-action reality show featuring pizza-box latrines, impromptu sex acts, and morning rituals that make your gym session feel like a retreat, are understandably fed up. Meanwhile, the couple, apparently taking the phrase “public space” as a challenge, threw a tantrum worthy of a daytime Emmy when janitors tried to clean up the mess. It’s bureaucracy meets Broadway with a dash of biohazard—because nothing says “community pride” like wrestling over hygiene and propriety in a neighborhood where the mayor once lived, proving once again that sometimes, the grass isn’t just greener on the other side—it’s actually a biohazard zone.
