Councilman Mark Gjonaj, Assemblywoman Nathalia Fernandez, and representatives of the 49th Precinct attended the monthly Pelham Parkway Neighborhood Association meeting, which was well attended. Members of the community asked several questions about 'quality of life' concerns that have become more apparent in the community. Councilman Gjonaj and Assemblywoman Fernandez answered most of the questions, and Councilman Gjonaj invited residents to sign up for his meet and greet and his weekly newsletter.

Later on after the meeting
Above- After the meeting I turned the corner onto Lydig Avenue and after going two blocks I found this. It looks worse than it was.
Below - Firemen can be seen going up crawl spaces from the P & T Laundromat located at 786 Lydig Avenue. Firemen had to go to the roof to make sure the fire was completely out before leaving.
