Another Update from Management (Hotline)

This just came in:

Dear Residents,

We know that many of you could not attend last nights meeting. Here is a brief overview of what was covered.

¢ª The cause of the flood was due to work being done by the Port Authority at ground zero. A new storm/sewer line that was being constructed by the PANYNJ was left open and flooded our cellar. As a result all our utilities (electrical switch room, gas boosters, heat and fire protection) were devastated. Without these major systems in place, the building had to be evacuated. Originally our contractors had advised that the building would be closed for two weeks. Things are going well with the repairs and cleanup. We believe we will be able to open the building sooner.


¢ª This has been an awful experience for everyone. Our central focus remains to find all of our tenants comfortable temporary housing and get you back into your apartment as quickly as possible. The Port Authority has set up a hotline to handle your claims. The phone number is (866) 902-3276. There will be a PANYNJ claims center set up. Information about that will be forthcoming. City Councilman, Alan Gerson offered his support and services to those in need. He can be contacted at gerson@council.nyc.ny.us.

¢ª The NYC Buildings Department has confirmed the structural integrity of the building. This report and our independent report will be posted on the 90westresidents.com website early next week.

¢ª We will have independent air and water quality tests performed and the results will also be made available to you online.

¢ª Councilman Gerson has met with the Port Authority to discuss noise issues at Ground Zero. They are trying to establish ¡°Quiet Hours¡±. The representative from the Port Authority claims they should have an answer by the end of the week on this issue.

¢ª We are implementing additional security in the building.

¢ª Mail is still being delivered to the building. The valet will be open M-F from 8am-8pm, Sat. and Sun. from 8am-5pm.

¢ªAs an additional reminder we ask that you empty your refrigerators and freezers of perishable items. Trash bags will be provided. If you cannot physically carry the food items, please ask the super or handymen for assistance

¢ª Con Ed has advised us that it is not necessary to unplug your electronics.

¢ª If you are currently without housing, a block of rooms are reserved at the Roosevelt Hotel. Please call (888)833-3969. Please use the code: 90 West
