UPDATE: If You Missed Our Dec. 10 Meeting (or Want to Watch It Again), the Video Is on YouTube.

The video of our Dec. 10 meeting (1 hour 22 minutes), can be viewed on YouTube.

In 2023 we’ll have a new representative in Congress and a new state senator. Join us in saying good-bye to Carolyn Maloney and Brad Hoylman, and hello to Jerrold Nadler and Kristen Gonzalez, our new congress member and state senator, respectively.

Rep. Maloney and Senator Hoylman will recap what they have been working on for us. Rep. Nadler will discuss federal issues that affect us, and Senator-elect Gonzalez will tell us how she plans to focus on our community (our new district includes part of Brooklyn and Queens).

Join us Saturday, Dec. 10, from 11 a.m. to noon, on YouTube at https://youtu.be/NulC9mjsfbs

We’re taking questions—you may submit three. Please submit them by Thursday, Dec. 8.

There’s more to hear about!

• Assembly Member Harvey Epstein Rent law loopholes—we need them closed
• Borough President Mark Levine Congestion pricing (we’re in the zone), monkeypox
• Council Member Keith Powers 14th Street, rental background check law
• Community Board 6 Chair Kyle Athayde CB6 is an important resource—how it helps us

Our activities and on our radar:

• Stop the Chop—we’re getting involved in this effort to limit increased and excessive helicopter and seaplane traffic, specifically on the East River
• Apartment inspections for lead (Local Law 31)—what to expect
• Our lawsuit to keep all apartments here protected by rent stabilization: we’re still awaiting the judge’s decision
