NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Amid the hustle and bustle on Financial District streets, a different type of neighbor is taking up space.

Some walk right by the empty, white mail bins without a second thought.

“Half the things in this city I don’t notice,” one passerby said.

Others, like Financial District resident Lynn Heatherton, call them a huge neighborhood eyesore.

“This is my huge pet peeve,” Heatherton told CBS 2’s Andrea Grymes.

Piles of the U.S. Postal Service bins sit stacked up on corners and outside the post office on John Street.
