Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates


Dear Neighbor,

 

Thank you for joining us for another week in review. 


We hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend. This Thanksgiving season, our team was proud to join with community partners and colleagues in government to distribute over 2,000 turkeys and chickens to our residents and their families. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this season of giving a huge success.


As the temperature drops, we urge tenants without heat or hot water to contact their landlord. Building owners are legally required to provide heat and hot water to their tenants. Hot water must be provided 365 days per year at a constant minimum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If an issue with hot water or heat persists, please contact 311 immediately.


Lastly, join us tomorrow at Bronx Borough Hall (851 Grand Concourse) as we host a public hearing on the Department of City Planning`s 'City of Yes for Economic Opportunity' proposal. You can click here for more information.


As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson


IN THE COMMUNITY

Our borough’s Puerto Rican Pride was on full display at our Puerto Rican Heritage Celebration. Thank you to Monroe College, our emcee, sponsors, honorees, performers, and everyone else who helped to make this event a huge success.


This Thanksgiving season, we provided Bronxites with food for their families! Thank you to our generous sponsors for their collaboration and thoughtful contributions! We are so grateful for their support.

We had a wonderful Senior Luncheon for our older adults this Thanksgiving season! We had a wonderful afternoon of dancing, food, music, giveaways, and great company.
