Chair Sanchez follow-up with Bronx tenants on Giles Place settlement status
Sanchez clarifies that 3435 Giles Place is under a stipulation agreement requiring the owner to address B and C violations, with two buildings being sold and the rest under monitoring. She asks tenants to keep her office posted on progress and notes the Trigold transfer.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Ed.
Two follow-up questions.
First of all, thank you.
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.
And I just really, really appreciate our Bronx and everything you do.
Thank you also for the shout out for Safer.
I'm going to use this opportunity to say, Mayor, administration, let's get it done.
We can get it done.
We have been working on this bill for a number of years, and I really think we can bring it to the finish line.
So I look forward to your partnership on that.
And then my actual question is on Giles Place.
So is this, is 35, 34, 35 Giles Place, is that within the portfolio that is being managed by?
The court.
Okay.
Sorry.
It's been a long day.
It's five cups of coffee.
Not enough.
But it is, we will be in the meeting tomorrow night.
And they'll be watching him for the next two years.
Yes.
And if he doesn't comply with stipulations, apparently he's going to lose it.
Got it.
So your building is not being sold.
It is in the stipulation where they have to address all the BNC violations.
That is correct.
At this moment, it is not.
Okay.
Yeah.
Great.
So I'm asking you.
Yes.
Okay.
What I also wanted to share with you there, the new economic supportive system, some flyers were displaced.
They were placed within the building so that the tenants would know their tri-goal is the new.
Individuals running the bank, let's say.
Okay.
For whatever reason, anytime there's any flyers to inform the tenants about information, they disappear on a regular basis.
Got it.
Okay.
So I know...
So in terms of this settlement agreement, I know that there are three buildings that are being transferred to Trigold.
And this is my local council member hat, not my housing chair hat per se.
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.
So there's three buildings that are being sold and the rest are under this two buildings that are being sold.
I have incorrect information.
And then the rest are in the stipulation agreement.
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.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate you.
Thank you for being the chairperson.
The next panel is also from our Bronx, and this is the Spanish-speaking panel.
So Juana Garcia and Elizabeth Eligio.
Yeah?
Do you have wheelmen?
Yes.
Yes.
Wilmer, Jose, Solorzano, Teran.
Teran?
Benga, paká.
