Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- In our continuing saga with submetering.... Judge Moyne has not forgotten us. He's had a set-back resulting from the recent death of his mother. To bring you up-to-date: L&M requested that Judge Moyne withdraw the TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) that prevents them from submetering our building. They...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season, and a happy, healthy New Year. As many of you know, longstanding deficiencies in our building’s electrical wiring have now resulted in a devastating tragedy. One of our neighbors, Catherine Mahouve-Same, lost her life, and her family lost the...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- A quick reminder…. If you’re suffering emotional distress as a result of the recent fire in our building, please attend this evening’s “recovery” session in the 546 lounge on the 12th floor. Yours in solidarity- Joyce

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors, Many of us are dealing with the anxiety, sleepless nights, anger, and more, that are the emotional upheaval from the tragic fire that took place this past Saturday. We’re very fortunate to have a licensed social worker in our building who specializes in trauma counseling: Ronnye Halpern. She has donat...

Hey neighbors! I just signed the petition “Say "NO" to a Cannabis Dispensary on Roosevelt Island!” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name. Our building has no doormen to act as a barrier to intruders, and has 49 unmanned doors. We’ve had muggings, stabbings, push-in robberies, and more criminal incidents. The last thin...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors, While this spring we received support in the form of a letter by our elected representatives to the PSC, except for Councilmember Julie Menin who put us in touch with HPD, they've done nothing further to help us connect with people in NY State government who can flip the levers to stop L&M's horrific ...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- Please be advised... Today, Bill Salo Esq. submitted a request for mediation to Hon. Judge Moyne who you may remember from the recent "Venue Change" hearing on our Article 78 Challenge. The request includes a cover letter from Bill and an affirmation from myself clearly stating the case for our concer...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- Please download and tape the attached flier to your apartment's front door. We'll be putting them in the lobbies but management has removed our notices. We need to get a big turnout to the virtual hearing on Monday! Thank you! Joyce

We have a new judge and Tuesday's hearing will be about whether this judge does or does not permit L&M's and the PSC's request for a change of venue. They want to move our case to Albany.

Dear Roosevelt Landings Resident- If you have a bill that is higher than $500, please slide it under my door right away at 540/1604. Mark on the bill how many bedrooms you have. If you are in a studio, that amount is 0. Put BR-the amount in the upoer right corner of your bill. We need the actual bills to show a judge. If you want a rec...

Dear Roosevelt Landings neighbor, Attached please find a flier concerning what you should do with the landlord's submetering bill for September. Best regards, Joyce

Dear Neighbors, If submetering were a baseball game, we'd be on first base. Here's what's happening: • On August 26th, our residents association joined forces with Schomberg Plaza and the Miles and Parker Residents Associations to file an Article 78 Challenge in NY Supreme Court to overturn the PSC's Draconian submetering order. • On A...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- Good news to start your Labor Day weekend...... We petitioned to restrain the landlord from submetering in an Article 78 challenge, and the judge has issued a temporary restraining order. I will send out more information as it becomes available. This is a temporary, not permanent order. We are at the ...

Dear residents, We have received a new set of rollbacks. Please disregard the numbers in the previous email and see below for the correct amounts: Studio- $122 1 BR- $138 2 BR- $177 3 BR- 215 4 BR- $254 5 BR $293 Best, Zach Ephron

Dear Neighbor- Our article 78 challenge against both the Public Service Commission and L&M was filed today. We will quickly know if the judge will grant an immediate restraint to sub-metering. Meanwhile, we are preparing for our next legal challenge. We hope you will attend the affirmation signature session at the 12th floor lounge at ...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbor, Our landlord has embarked on a treacherous journey to submeter our units prior to completing their insulation project. Until this project is completed and tested there is nothing that has changed the bills from as high as $1,4000 in one month that was reported in the past. Only a minute amount of resid...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbor, Your tenant association is hard at work collecting the information we need to stop the landlord's insane attempt to sub-meter our building. They're planning to give us a meager roll-back that only covers a small portion of each resident's bill, and they will make a wind-fall profit by overcharging us p...

Dear all- Thank you for your email and for your patience regarding the submetering issue. As Joyce Short mentioned in her previous communication, the Public Service Commission's recent ruling has unfortunately reinstated the landlord's right to submeter. We understand this is concerning news, and we are actively exploring all available...

Dear Roosevelt Landing’s Neighbor, Priority Boarding at the tram seems such a simple ask for our residents, especially because our rent money, passed to RIOC in the form of Land Leases, pays the approximately $3 million dollar shortfall each year between the tram’s operations costs and revenue. But RIOC and the MTA have blocked this se...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors- For half a century, our tram enabled our residents to easily commute to work, school, medical appointments, and more. But overcrowding by tourists has destroyed the ease of use for the service we all pay for with the portion of our rents that supports our land leases. Neither the State, City, nor MTA ...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors, Many of you have heard the news that the PSC ruled on submetering our building, in favor of the landlord. Romano and I are in the process of researching our options and will get back to you with a plan. The PSC previously gave permission to the landlord. We fought back and won our case. We are back at...

Dear Roosevelt Landings Neighbors, Paul Krikler and I, he's the Chair of the Roosevelt Island CB8 Committee, have teamed up to put some bite into the community's efforts to secure priority boarding on our tram. If you're tired of the absurdly long lines, camera's in your face, and tourist kids racing for the seats that should go to the...
