And it is telling that there is no mayoral presence with an update as to how the collected funds to the Mayor's office have been doled out.<br />And I am shocked that LES Ready has not protested that the landline telephones are being replaced by WiFi access points. The telephones have been incredibly important after 9/11, the Brownout, Sandy etc. In case of emergencies, is it not who you will call, but how you will call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-43016194839013715112016-03-20T15:54:20.316-04:002016-03-20T15:54:20.316-04:00@ 10:59

But it is a tale of two cities. A press conference will be held in East Village touting the arrests of those involved while those who perished in Harlem will have no justice even though investigation determined that Con Edison was at fault and 8 lives were extinguished. Tale of two cities.

Are these delay shut offs because all the gas pipes building wide need to be replace? A leaking gas pipe located to one area cannot take so long to repair by a licensed contractor therefore ConEd is totally incompetent of landlords are using this to their advantage. As for the person that stated no landlord would shut the case on high rent paying tenants, of course not. I was referring to new landlords trying to get rid of rent stabilized tenants which make up the majoring of buildings which have had the same owner for decades not the newly gutted buildings. Thanks for calling me stupid by the way.

Further any gas shut off results in a rent concession to the tenants - so not in an owners interest to do so. Finally Con Ed doesn't shut off gas if someone claims "gas leak" - they need to inspect and determine for themselves. What the politicians should be doing is pushing Con Ed and DOB to speed up the process to get gas restored. Nobody wants a building without gas - its a huge headache for all parties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-48289811756083471742016-03-18T08:47:43.545-04:002016-03-18T08:47:43.545-04:00I hope she mentions how developer landlords are no...I hope she mentions how developer landlords are now taking advantage of this disaster by claiming "gas leaks" in their newly acquired buildings, knowing ConEd will shut it off and keep it off for on average 6 months, making them look not guilty of harassment.
