Sample Letter:
The Firefighters have warned of the hazards presented by voids to both the FDNY and residents. They believe such developments present an unnecessary danger and do not have a reasonable purpose.
It is urgent that A5026/S3820 be voted on this session. Developers are in a race to the top while residents of the City are being subject to lingering shadows in parks and neighborhoods. The out-of-context Mega-Towers are fraying the neighborhood fabric and they present a danger to FDNY responders and tenants alike. Please be proactive now ... don't wait for a catastrophe to act!
