Department of Health is not responding to the LGBT Health and Safety requests to fix up the Northern Gay Sauna in Flushing.
Send a message to commissioner Mary Travis Basset,
thank you
Because many of the patrons come from minority backgrounds and some speak very little English, they are a very vulnerable community and an easy target for abuse and disrespect.
Patrons have come together to address this issue further and are demanding now that the employee Terry gets fired and that the facility will be fixed so it is safe and clean.
If the owner Mr. Rogers fails to comply, we will contact the media and public officials so they can take further actions as well.
Petition from the Northern
Sauna Patrons October
2013
Many patrons of the Northern Sauna have come together to
sign and submit this petition to the owner Mr. Rogers,
to express our concerns about your employee Terry. We find his behavior very
rude, abusive, unfriendly and is very little or not cooperative. His nasty
attitude towards many patrons has been the reason for people to return less or
not come back at all. Terry is also pimping patrons for money and tips and does
nothing to earn it.
While we appreciate you for providing the community with
your establishment and we value the Northern Sauna, we want to continue to
enjoy spending personal time there, without Terry’s negative energy that is
interrupting our positive experience on a regular basis. We feel after years of
his negativity and abusive behavior, it is time to bring it to your attention again
in form of a petition, because the many individual complaints have not resulted in any change in his behavior with the
patrons.
We thank you in advance for your time and consideration and
we hope that this petition will provide you with valuable information
addressing our concerns with Terry and we hope that in the future we can enjoy
a hassle free environment at the Northern Sauna establishment. Should this
abuse continue in the future, patrons are willing to speak to the media to take
further action about this matter.
Here are some pictures about this unsafe, roach infested and disgusting facility.
