City Council Calendar for Monday, April 16 2007 - Sunday, April 22, 2007


* * * To Improve City's Worst Buildings, Council Introduces Safe Housing Act *
* *
Speaker Quinn, together with Council members Letitia James, Erik Martin Dilan,
and Gale Brewer, introduced groundbreaking legislation to improve housing
conditions for New Yorkers living in the City’s worst buildings. Under the Safe
Housing Act, every year the city would identify 200 buildings with the worst
housing code violations and target them for aggressive inspection, follow-up, and
comprehensive repairs. The City’s Department of Housing Preservation and
Development (HPD) would facilitate and monitor these City-mandated improvements.

Learn more about the Safe Housing Act, and other legislation introduced at the
Council's last meeting, at http://www.nyccouncil.info/

legislation. You may email the Speaker at:
