Please report on the compliance details of how a foundation for a 27-story building must be constructed at that site.
The foundation is going in for a Bjarke Ingels-designed 27-story complex at a long inactive site on a prominent and busy corner.

We witnessed another stunning turnaround this week with this big red-tailed hawk, a young female who was brought to us by @NYCACC on Halloween.
She had obviously suffered a collision, with a window or a vehicle. She was favoring one leg and struggling to hold her wings even. Fortunately, x-rays revealed no fractures, and after several days of care, Halloween is already perching well and very, very alert. She’s fierce and will be a powerhouse once she returns to the wild.

“New York’s civic and business leaders remain pessimistic about relying on the federal government’s support to bring the IBX to life; this is exactly the moment we need commitment from this Congress.” citylimits.org/opinion-dcs-n…

On the heels of the e-bike battery fire that killed 4 last week at the Patterson Houses, 6 are now dead in a fire this am in Sunset Park where lithium ion batteries are suspected. Prayers up. Completely unacceptable. Please @NYCMayor @SpeakerMenin @GovKathyHochul Please act!

AGAIN! and AGAIN! and AGAIN!
Many voters in NYC still believe that building more apts./aka “ABUNDANCE” equals lower rents/greater affordability. It does NOT! Not, when the overwhelming units being built are market rent aka “UNAFFORDABLE”, even to the lower rungs of the Middle Class.

This great black-backed gull was going a little stir crazy, and who could blame him? He’d been with us nearly a month recovering from a collection of ailments related to a likely collision.
Tor was reluctant to fly, possibly as a result of a minor coracoid fracture (shoulder) and had developed a wound on one foot, likely from being grounded so long. It took several weeks of wound care, medication and pool therapy for this guy to fully recover. By the end, he’d had enough of our hospitality.
We’re happy to report that Tor was released this week! Good luck out there.🐟
