Keeping Up with the Community!

Sending a big thank you to NYC Department of Sanitation for removing this derelict Tesla on Taylor Avenue, which had been inactively parked for weeks.

Giving a big shoutout to NYC Department of Transportation for fixing this broken fence which resulted in illegal and unsafe access to the Hutchinson River Parkway.

Thank you DOT for resolving this issue in only two days — and helping to keep the residents of our community safe!
