My heart is breaking reading all the news about the gas explosion in the East Village. I lived there years ago in a different building owned at that time by the same landlord of these buildings, and after I moved in, a friend visited me in my renovated apt and told me: YOu have a gas leak (he was a volunteer fireman). It's never easy living in the East Village; I wish it was easier. Fortunately there was no explosion and I did not lose my life, but there has to be a better system and a better way than for tenants to risk their lives by choosing to live in their East Village renovated apartments. I no longer live in NYC. In another state, where I live now, there is a big city and I think the laws are different, as landlords are required to get building inspections/apt inspections every time a new tenant comes in. Just seems like this latest East Village tragedy perhaps could have somehow been prevented in the past year, based on what I am reading in the news.

This is exactly what people need: free legal assistance/help. Good news for the injured and displaced.

You better beleive they want those people to stay displaced, which is suspicious as hell for motive.
