We, New York city tenants, want the national Transportation Safety Board ( NTSB) to use it authority to call a Public Hearing in East Harlem for the community to determine what cause the explosion, what the need of the survivors , what environmental cause to the community and what must be done to prevent more disasters and displacement citywide.
Why is this important?
None of us are safe while Con Edison , which reaped over $ 1 billion in profits in 2013, neglects to repair the infrastructure of gas pipe. We need some guarantee that the landlords , Con Ed,or City who ignore known safety risks that lead to families being forcibly removed from their homes
will not be allowed to return around and create unaffordable housing development. We need an independent environmental impact study to address the asthma crisis in East Harlem and explore safer for forms of energy
