He retired from the Sanitation Department and his assignment at OEM in 2006, after which he was a facilities manager for the New York City Council.
After longtime Assemblyman Ivan Lafayette decided not to run for reelection, DenDekker ran for the seat.
[5][6] DenDekker attracted public attention with two bills he proposed in February 2011 that would have required all bicycles in New York to be registered, inspected, and given license plates for a mandatory US $25 fee.
After significant objections from his colleagues, constituents and local clerks, DenDekker withdrew the bill.
