Without an escort, you can access the area through and including Chambers Street (from
Broadway to Greenwich Street), east to Broadway (east side only) and south of Rector Street
(including both sides of Rector Street). It is requested that only those with business or residential
needs go to the area so as not to disrupt clean-up efforts. Tenants should verify that their

Please check the media and nyc.gov for updates. Tenants should contact their property managers
to determine when their facilities will be open for business.
