Hi everyone,

Thank you for supporting the petition regarding the boiler on W 169th Street. We have now reached over 150 signatures.

I have contacted the following offices asking them to review this issue and help address the ongoing pollution:

• New York City Council District 10 – District10@council.nyc.gov

• Manhattan Community Board 12 – cb12m@cb.nyc.gov

• The Mayor’s Office – https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/contact-the-mayor

If you are willing, please consider sending them a short message as well. When multiple residents contact officials about the same issue, it greatly increases the chance that they respond.

You can copy and paste the message below if helpful.
