The woman, wearing tight gym shorts and a black top, briefly looks at the Fox News Digital camera and then makes a dash towards Roosevelt Avenue with her young client fixing himself and then following closely behind her.
The woman in the video was allegedly later seen soliciting sex along with other women around the corner from the Case Street brothel. The alleged sex workers are understood to pick up clients on the busy street and then take them to the brothel around the corner, which leads into a residential neighborhood.
The NYPD confirmed that three arrests were made during the Sept. 18 raid on the building. It is unclear why it wasn’t immediately padlocked.

The Queens District Attorney’s Office tells Fox News Digital it is in the process of shutting the brothel down and says it understands that the NYPD is separately seeking a “parallel nuisance abatement order against the establishment.”
Ramses Frías, a local resident turned activist who was being interviewed as the pair walked out, said he was not surprised that the building was operational again, given that the alleged sex workers advertise their bodies in the open during all hours of the day and night with few repercussions.
“This area has been run rampant with prostitution, especially on this corner,” Frías said. “This block itself, it’s just been out of control and the lawlessness continues to happen. This [raid] was done yesterday and as you can see, it looks like it’s still operational.”
WATCH: NEW YORK CITY STREET LINED WITH ALLEGED PROSTITUTES SOLICITING SEX
Known to locals as the “Avenue of the Sweethearts,” residents say the prostitution situation reminds them of the red-light district streets of Bangkok. Additionally, illegal vendors also overrun the sidewalks cooking hot food or selling used clothes “third world” conditions.
On one block along Roosevelt Avenue, Fox News Digital cameras recorded a line of no less than 19 alleged sex workers on the sidewalk. Around the corner, there were at least seven more, and a woman on the next block was witnessed soliciting sex for $60.
