New York City is a hell of a town with one especially uncomfortable truth: It’s sorely lacking in public restrooms. And the ones it does have are mostly crap.
It's not just an inconvenience; it's a health and public safety issue. When restaurants, retailers and hotels closed during the pandemic, public-urination complaints across the city soared by 83%, according to a Crain's analysis.

Reporter Aaron Elstein examines the history and potential future of one of the city's most elusive issues.
