Forum Tackling Heat Issues Postponed to Feb. 5

by David Cruz

Community Board 7 has postponed its forum that would have drawn several dozen tenants occupying apartments owned by Simply Better Homes.

The forum, which would have been Tuesday, January 29, was postponed to Thursday, Feb. 5 because of winter storm Juno. The blizzard is expected to dump over a foot of snow in the Bronx. The new meeting will be held at North Central Bronx Hospital, 3224 Kossuth Avenue, 17th Floor at 7 p.m. The forum is expected to discuss ongoing heating issues at the buildings.

Community Board 7 has sent notices out to tenants of the buildings scattered throughout the northwest Bronx. They advise anyone who knows a tenant living in a Simply Better Homes building to alert them of the change.
