The building now has pink condemnation notices all over every window and entry door. The new Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Daniel Panico also sent a notice to Suffolk County Executive Edward P. Romaine calling for the county. See some highlights below: 

• “the County does not inspect all Social Service rental units before sending the rental checks to the landlord.” He also noted that Suffolk County “doesn’t even check with the Town to see if the units have a rental permit,” which is required for all rentals in the Town of Brookhaven. He offered Town’s building inspection service to no cost to the County. He said, “If the County is willing to agree to this arrangement and enforce the law already in place, the Town will do the inspections for the County free of charge.”
• “anyone receiving Social Service assistance should not have to accept sub-standard housing that does not meet New York State Building and Fire Safety Codes.” He also noted that he would “urge Suffolk County Social Services not to pay rent for units that fail to meet New York State Building and Fire Safety codes.”

So our petition is reaching the right people and steps are being taken to protect Coram. But its not done yet, what matters most is what happens next! Please send this petition to 10 people to be a part of this movement. The homeless that were being sent to this facility are now being sent to other shelters that are safe. We are still awaiting official word from the Town and County Government.
