The CCPB also expect the same to be called for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th August 2006 as temperatures are expected to continue to soar above the 90 degrees and some days over 100 degrees.
Please reduce electric consumption in the building's public spaces, apartments, commercial spaces and raise the temperature thermostat of your air conditioners, refrigerators and turn-off all non-essentials. Please encourage your neighbors to do the same.We are sure that you have seen all the electric power problems being reported on the news not only about New York City but the tri-state area as well, so this is a very serious current situation and jointly our individual efforts will help alleviate the problem and avoid possible major blackout(s) in New York City and elsewhere.

Another advisory and West Harlem mega-landlord Pinnacle is going to disregard it again! This abentee landlord runs kleig lights like a prison yard all up and down Riverside Drive and no one seems able to stop them!
