Stop the proposed Yorkville-Harlem Garbage Transfer Station. This would be a ten-story garbage facility in a historic and multi-ethnic, as well as landmark area which is home to one of the city's finest outdoor athletic facilities used by local schools and neighbors. Political factors involving the outgoing mayor influenced the decision, which has been shown to be more expensive than easily feasible alternatives, hazardous to aircraft, and noxious to health. It is opposite historic Gracie Mansion and will dominate the odors and the views from it and the widely-used park in which it is located. Gracie Mansion was the NYC Mayor's residence until Mr. Bloomberg decided to remain in the comfort of his own personal multi-million dollar townhouse in another neighborhood. The mayor's personal insensitivity to this matter in favor of crass political gain is morally reprehensible, in addition to the other factors that make the proposal both unjust and dangerous.

Stop the UnAmerican tactics of Building Depts. Stop warrantless home searches by Building Dept. Inspectors. Stop exorbitant fines that put homeowners at risk of jail time and/or foreclosure.

Black elderly homeowners in Brooklyn are being targeted, displaced, and stripped of their homes through fraud and illegal evictions. We demand immediate emergency action. Black elderly homeowners in Central Brooklyn are facing a human rights crisis. Predatory actors are stealing homes through forged deeds, fraudulent contracts, coercive “family” transfers, and illegal lockouts. Black elderly women are being targeted at the highest rates. This crisis is ripping away generational wealth and destabilizing Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights. If this were happening to any other group, there would already be a state of emergency. We call on: Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, the NYC Commission on Human Rights, and the New York State Division of Human Rights to take immediate action to protect our elders and stop the theft of Black homes. We demand: 1. Declare a State of Emergency in Central Brooklyn This crisis requires coordinated, immediate intervention. 2. A Moratorium on All Contested Property Transfers Including intra-family disputes — until legal review and due process are completed. 3. Enforce Assembly Bill A7019 Financial institutions must place a temporary hold on suspicious transactions when elder exploitation is suspected. 4. Enforce RPAPL § 768 (New York’s Deed Theft Prevention Law) Illegal removals of seniors based on contested deeds must stop now. 5. Investigate and Prosecute Deed Thieves Aggressively Predatory investors, real estate entities, and individuals must be held accountable. 6. Provide Support for Victims Legal assistance, housing stabilization, and financial help for elders fighting to reclaim their homes.

We, the community of Eastern Middle School, would like to have the water fountains repaired. After the Christmas Break, the school added a water bottle feature, where you could fill your water bottles separately from the water fountains. This feature backfired, as the water fountains malfunctioned.

More needs to be done to save preserve areas and habitats in which wildlife inhabit. I understand Motorola was recently purchased and the teardown of the buildings is necessary. However the destruction of the tall grasses where hundreds of wildlife and wildflowers inhabit were also destroyed and it is devastating to the ecosystem which lived there; hundreds of birds, bees, small animals, etc.
