The Gas House Gang was a New York street gang during the late Nineteenth Century . Founded in the 1890s , the Gas House Gang was based in the Gas House District on East 35th Street controlling the area along Third Avenue from 11th to 18th Street . Specializing in Armed Robbery , the gang was estimated to have committed between 30 to 40 robberies a night as well as extorting money from local residents and operating Brothels . The gang would continue to control the district for over two decades until it was eventually absorbed by the Five Points Gang in 1910. FURTHER READING
