-What are the timeframes. They have not been successful to date in identifying eyesores.
7. EPA, ATSDR, and NYCDOH are seeking ten more buildings to include in the study of background data. HPD will provide a list of 30 candidate buildings by 26 April. -Probably hard to find. Are we going too far and reinventing the wheel?
8. DOS provided to Jim Miller the contact info for sidewalk cleaning enforcement. -Lets hear more about a “sidewalk cleaning enforcement program.’’ Does DOS have available resources? Is drought an issue?
9. The legal committee believes that agencies can gain access to buildings’ common areas for inspections (if landlords will not voluntarily cooperate) through access warrants in the supreme or housing court. The Contaminants of Concern group will need to provide a list of what is “bad enough” to warrant such action, and someone may need to be prepared to testify to such. -This has to be handled very sensitively. We don’t want to create a false sense of insecurity to those in the area while achieving our objective of gaining access.
10. The Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel group will meet on Monday to discuss procedures for obtaining reimbursement for ULSD differential costs given FEMA’s letter and the status of NESCAUM pilot efforts. Please let Lee know if you plan to attend or have agenda items. -This seems like a State initiative supported by the Governor and Speaker Silver. Everyone seems to be in agreement let’s get it signed into law.
11. Enjoy your weekend.
