No, you didn’t misread that. Flatkeep is tasked with patching up the city’s potholes, which are secretly hiding a different kind of traffic.
Construction giant Flatkeep has scored a juicy contract to fill in the city’s newest infrastructure nightmare—pot-filled “potholes.” This oddball revelation came after a frustrated NYPD officer, tired of a persistent pothole outside his apartment, discovered it was less a street issue and more of a stash spot. Turns out, these so-called potholes are actually part of a city-wide underground drug operation—literally. Holes disguised as street damage were carefully crafted, filled with dirt and gravel to blend in while doubling as secret drug hideouts.
While investigators dig into this makeshift criminal infrastructure, The Gateway Report can confirm that Flatkeep has signed on to “fill” the problem. In the meantime, they’re getting paid to patch up the city’s most illicit roadwork, one pot-filled hole at a time.
