Councilman Mark Gjonaj's NYC Moving Forward Week in Review - 3/5/2021

 

Dear Friends, I hope you and your families are doing well during this time, as we are coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the health, social, mental and economic devastation that it has brought about.  As more vaccines are coming to NYC, finally there is a plan to vaccinate homebound New Yorkers. I am proud that the two bills that I co-sponsored to require the City to develop and implement a COVID-19 vaccine plan for homebound seniors were instrumental into securing this. Please fill the form and submit to determine eligibility by Clicking Here. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (718) 931-1721.  My office has continued to help so many constituents in the eligible categories to get vaccination appointments at Jacobi Hospital, Yankee Stadium, the NYCHA developments and elsewhere. To intensify the vaccine education and awareness, we are glad that in partnership with Jacobi Hospital and Community Board 11 we are hosting a Covid-19 Vaccination Informational Session with Dr. Gabriele S. de Vos, Chief, Division of Allergy and Immunology at Jacobi Hospital on Thursday, March 11th 6pm-7pm. We encourage you to RSVP at 718-931-1721 to submit and ask any questions.  This week I was proud to lead NYC legislation as a prime co-sponsor for a sweeping pair of bills to comprehensively re-shape NYC’s Small Business Regulation System. These bills aim to update and overhaul the penalties to small businesses, associated with more than 180 violations attached to certain sanitation, health, transportation, consumer affairs, building and noise control violations, etc. We are humbled to be serving those in need in our communities and this week we gave away over 5,200 food boxes to families and seniors in need in our District, and in partnership with Urband Upbound we continued In-Person Free Tax Preparation in Morris Park and City Island by appointment only. We have been with you throughout this pandemic and will continue to be with you. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with any issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov. Sincerely, NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj District 13, Bronx
