public tennis courts in NYC

I live in part of Queens called Woodhaven. I have walking distance to the public tennis courts there. The courts are in devastating condition for more than 4 years. Some of the cracks on the court surface are so big as a size of tennis ball, and anybody can easilly get hurt. Despite of this condition the people who work for the city are checking for the permits, and lock down the place after certain time. Permits are not cheap and the cost of permit is $100. People were signing petition 3 years ago and asking to fix these courts.Nothing happened till now. The courts are under the construction, so I had found another place to play this beautiful game. I was very surprised because about 5 miles from Woodhaven is Highland Park in Brooklyn and there is 14 tennis courts in very good condition.But listen to this. This courts have even a lights for night play and nobody is asking for permits there. How is this possible that in Queens people have to pay $100 for playing and in Brooklyn not? Both are public tennis courts in NYC. How is Mr.Bloomberg doing his job?
