Dear Neighbors:

I wanted to provide an update on the situation at 590 Fort Washington Avenue. The vacate order by the Dept of Buildings has been lifted for all residents except those residing in the A B or M lines.

We have been informed that about 18 units are affected in those three lines. Before those lines can be made available to residents, additional fire guards must be stationed in the building. We learned tonight that building management is actively working to have those guards put in place. Building management will then have to work closely with Con Edison to return gas to the building. In the interim, management has provided hot plates for all residents.

Further, a work order has been placed for the building’s elevator and it is expected to be repaired tomorrow. The Red Cross is on hand and will house those in need. My staff and I have been on the scene and will remain on hand to ensure a speedy resolution. I will continue to keep you informed as the situation develops
