# DISTRICT NEEDS STATEMENT

Our priorities in the Capital Construction budget are:

1. The Potts Cove residential and industrial area is in desperate need of city services. New sewer and street construction are needed in order to bring this area up to date. Large industries will move in employing more local residents when this is accomplished.

2. Storm sewer construction and rehabilitation throughout our community is needed. Our systems are old and were built for a lesser population. Because of the tremendous increase in housing and population these systems must be updated to accommodate the increased use.

## BUILDINGS DEPARTMENT

Inspectors should visit the auto repair shops to see if they have proper Certificates of Occupancy, many do not. These shops are often nuisance to our community, especially in the Long Island City area.

Due to the large increase of immigrants, and the shortage of affordable housing, we are seeing a rise in illegal apartment conversions. The state should consider legislation to permit building standards to legalize some of the illegal uses and add them to the tax rolls. Those that do not qualify should face stiff fines since these landlords are making tax-free profits.

## CONSUMER AFFAIRS

We have the highest number of unenclosed cafes of which only half have applied for a license.

We urge Consumer Affairs and other enforcements agencies to crack down on these violators. We also ask that those small establishments that wish to put out up to 4 tables, pay a standard fee making it easier for them to get a permit. The Community Board should have these applications. We ask for a nuisance law that can strike a license for 30 days to any business that continues to ignore quality of life concerns, such as garbage, loud music, loitering, etc.

## DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Our district, like many in Queens, has a high graffiti rate. We urge the District Attorney to prosecute graffiti to the fullest extent of the law. No one goes to jail for graffiti. Mandate sentencing must be given to those committing this quality of life crime.

## ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Our district has the largest number of commercial business. Our commercial strips are in need of continual support in order to be maintained and upgraded. The Astoria Boulevard area west of 21st Street must be improved if business is to survive there. A traffic study of this area should be made. Queens Plaza must be made a priority in order to attract business.

21

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

There is a great need citywide for air, noise and water inspectors to address quality of life issues. We need an independent air inspection to monitor our power plants and airport. Catch basins are not cleaned on a routine schedule due to a lack of manpower. Due to water shortage running hydrants waste up to 60,000 gallons of water per hour. Violators should be arrested and fined.

FORESTRY

Queens has more trees than all other boroughs combined. We have an astonishing number of dead and dying trees. The budget cut to Forestry has manifested in the tremendous backlog of tree removal and pruning. The Department of Forestry must be given top priority in the Expense Budget. Trees beautify our community.

HOUSING

The New York City Housing Authority should better screen tenants before admission into the developments. Community Board 1 has the most development in Queens. Tenant leaders have made their concerns known to us and insisted on a tenant screening committee for each of the four developments in the area. They also want to see evictions of those convicted of crimes while living in any development. Also, there must be better follow-up for those homeless people who were placed in the developments by court order.

HUMAN SERVICES

We have a growing need for affordable housing, especially for seniors. Our youth populations and those new immigrants to our community need career training. Programs that offer these training services should be increased in funding to meet this need. We need shelters for homeless adults that are safe and preferred to living in the streets.

PARKS

We need better clean up of the parks. The personnel previously laid off must be restored. Vandals who maliciously destroy park property must be prosecuted. Athens Square Park located on 30th Avenue and 30th Street has become the focal point of our community with ethnic cultural entertainment taking place three nights a week during the summer months. There is a 9 PM curfew, which should be enforced.

Police and park enforcements should confiscate skateboards if they continue to violate park rules. Roller-skating, bike riding and alcoholic beverages drinking, where prohibited, should be strictly enforced. We need to build a skateboard park and a full hockey rink.

POLICE

We urge our Police to summons cars with loud radios and taxi cabs that honk their horns for passenger pick up, especially during the evening hours. Stiff fines for disturbing the peace should be issued. Loud motorcycles should be confiscated. We also need enforcement of the barbecuing at Astoria and Ralph DeMarco Parks.

Since the 114th Precinct now houses the Borough Command, North, we have seen a parking problem grow worst. Police angle park on Astoria Boulevard, which is a truck

22

route, and on 36th Street. This parking is illegal but not enforceable with summonsing since the area is under the 114th Precinct's jurisdiction. We must build a parking lot over the Grand Central Parkway to accommodate the 114th and commuters to Manhattan.

## SANITATION

Sanitation must improve services to commercial strips. Daily pedestrian garbage pick up must be made especially on weekends when shoppers are out. Fines should be issued to those pedestrians caught littering. To often the storeowner is fined but never the violators. We need to fully restore the clean team lost by cutbacks and we want stricter enforcement of the Canine law. Queens Plaza should be a priority in monitoring clean streets.

## TAXI & LIMOUSINE COMMISSION (TLC)

We have the most base stations in Queens. We feel this agency gives no consideration to our objections, especially when these stations are located in busy commercial areas. The TLC does not properly monitor these stations for violations when reported to them. Community boards should be permitted to submit restricted zones for base stations or for over saturations.

## TRANSPORTATION

We have seen upsurge in street construction. We now point to the need for tow services to combat deplorable conditions created by auto repair shops that park unlicensed vehicles on sidewalks. This service will also aid Police in other areas as needed, such as removing stalled vehicles. We need a location for a car pound in order to get this service. We also need to expand the exit ramp at Steinway Street off the Grand Central Parkway, one lane to turn left, one to turn to right and the center onto the service road. This will alleviate the backup of traffic on the Grand Central. We need to permit small commercial vehicles on the Grand Central Parkway between the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and the Triborough Bridge. This will reduce the traffic on Astoria Boulevard.

This agency should identify choice locations for bidding out to street food vendors, as the Department of Parks & Recreation does. Vendors would pay high prices for choice locations, such as the Wall Street area and theater district. These vendors would be free of harassment and the moneys generated will benefit the City.
