To: The New York State Senate and Governor Andrew Cuomo
Governor Cuomo: Save New York from another East Village Tragedy
Stop New York City landlords from hiring unlicensed plumbers and electricians to work in our apartment buildings .
Why is this important?
I live across the street from the blast yesterday on the site on 2nd avenue between7th street and St Mark's Place.
At 3 in the afternoon, my entire building felt like it exploded.
I felt this a year ago, when something exploded in the basement of my building at 104 2nd ave, corner of 6th street (104 2nd ave Realty is the owner of this building.) It was so strong that it broke one window and broke the seals on all my windows.
A few days later, an unlicensed plumber was trying to fix a radiator in my apartment, and the radiator blew up and water enveloped my home.
The owner of the building assumed NO RESPONSIBILITY!!!!
From that moment until today, I always ask for someone's license before I let them fix any emergency. The landlord keeps sending unlicensed electricians and plumbers to fix things.
PLEASE JOIN ME, New York, in demanding legislature to force our Landlords to protect our homes and families by making it mandatory for them to hire only licensed workers.
We are another tragedy just waiting to happen.
