TikTok post advertises Corona, Queens, brothel
A seedy Queens brothel is being brazenly advertised on social media as having “really good, delicious” women.
“We are here with all the ladies,” a woman says in Spanish in the video, posted to TikTok by @zombiesinnyc on Oct. 19.
“Yes. So the public knows what is the good, the really good, delicious,” another woman says in the clip, which provides the brothel’s address in Corona.
The video shows a handful of lingerie-clad women sitting around on couches as men linger nearby and has the words “Inside a W#0r3 house” written over it.
The rooms are dark and neon light shows appear to be projected onto the walls.
About 20 men were seen going in and out of the house between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Friday, including one wearing an MTA jacket.
The property is owned by Fresh Meadows Park Phoenix LLC, public records show.
The company lists no registered agents with the state and has a Jericho address.
An owner could not be reached.
A woman’s advocate said brothels stay busy in the city because of a lack of enforcement.
The NYPD and city prosecutors have been dialing back on arresting prostitutes in recent years and promising to focus on sex buyers, but that promise hasn’t materialized overall, said Taina Bien-Aime, executive director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women.
“Corona was always a hotspot for prostitution and brothels, primarily women from Central and Latin America who were trafficked from there,” she said. “Now I think it’s just exacerbated because it’s lawless in New York.”
The home is a mile away from the notorious stretch of brothels on Roosevelt Avenue exposed by The Post as the “Market of Sweethearts.”
Mayor Eric Adams has blamed the rise in prostitution in the neighborhood on an increase in female Venezuelan migrants who are struggling to find work in the Big Apple.
He said the surge in “illegal” activity is just “one example” of how the nation’s ongoing migrant crisis is destroying the city.
It’s not clear if the migrants he referenced are being sex trafficked or if they’re soliciting of their own free will.
“This is what happens when you create an atmosphere that people can’t provide for themselves — you can’t work, you can’t provide for your job, and have to turn to illegal activities to do so,” Adams told reporters during a Tuesday briefing.
