Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you so much, Ed.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Two follow-up questions.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

First of all, thank you.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

I am so lucky to count on you guys in the backyard, in my backyard, organizing, helping tenants really to take advantage of their rights.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

And I just really, really appreciate our Bronx and everything you do.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you also for the shout out for Safer.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

I'm going to use this opportunity to say, Mayor, administration, let's get it done.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

We can get it done.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

We have been working on this bill for a number of years, and I really think we can bring it to the finish line.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So I look forward to your partnership on that.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

And then my actual question is on Giles Place.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So is this, is 35, 34, 35 Giles Place, is that within the portfolio that is being managed by?

Pierina Ana Sanchez

The court.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Okay.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Sorry.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

It's been a long day.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

It's five cups of coffee.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Not enough.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

But it is, we will be in the meeting tomorrow night.

Council Staff

And they'll be watching him for the next two years.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Yes.

Council Staff

And if he doesn't comply with stipulations, apparently he's going to lose it.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Got it.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So your building is not being sold.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

It is in the stipulation where they have to address all the BNC violations.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

That is correct.

Council Staff

At this moment, it is not.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Okay.

Council Staff

Yeah.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Great.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So I'm asking you.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Yes.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

Okay.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

What I also wanted to share with you there, the new economic supportive system, some flyers were displaced.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

They were placed within the building so that the tenants would know their tri-goal is the new.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

Individuals running the bank, let's say.

Council Staff

Okay.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

For whatever reason, anytime there's any flyers to inform the tenants about information, they disappear on a regular basis.

Council Staff

Got it.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Okay.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So I know...

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So in terms of this settlement agreement, I know that there are three buildings that are being transferred to Trigold.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

And this is my local council member hat, not my housing chair hat per se.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

But I just want to make sure that you all keep us posted on what is happening because there's a lot of attention to this transfer.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So there's three buildings that are being sold and the rest are under this two buildings that are being sold.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

I have incorrect information.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

And then the rest are in the stipulation agreement.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So I just want to make sure that even if our team can't make it to every single meeting, that we're hearing from you about, we'll be there tomorrow, it's virtual, but we're hearing from you about how the solving of the conditions is going.

Council Staff

Thank you so much.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you so much.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Appreciate you.

Member of the Public - Richard Tenko

Thank you for being the chairperson.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

The next panel is also from our Bronx, and this is the Spanish-speaking panel.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Do you have wheelmen?

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Yes.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Yes.

Pierina Ana Sanchez
