Dear Neighbor:

I am writing to spread the word about exciting community events that my office is hosting this summer, from mobile office hours to assistance with housing questions and more.

You can RSVP by calling my office at (212) 818-0580 or emailing kpowers@council.nyc.gov.

Senior Fall Prevention Training
Did you know that one in four people aged 65 or older has a fall each year? Senior citizens are especially susceptible to fall-related injuries, which is why our office is hosting a Fall Prevention Training, in partnership with the health professionals of NewYork-Presbyterian. Our training will include ways to prevent falls, identify hazards, and how to properly get up if a fall occurs.

DATE: Wednesday, July 25, 2018
TIME: 12: 00 PM – 1: 00 PM
LOCATION: 121 East 67th Street, Room 405

Mobile Office Hours
Sit down with me and representatives from my office to talk about the issues in the district you care about, and work toward solutions. This is a great opportunity to meet in-person with our constituent services team and get to know me a bit better!

TIME: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
LOCATION: Stuyvesant Town Community Center, 449 East 14th Street

Tenant Resources: HPD in District 4
We are excited to partner with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) to bring HPD educational resources directly into our district. HPD is responsible for developing and maintaining the city's stock of affordable housing, by preserving and protecting the quality and cost of housing. Come to our District Office where we will be joined by employees from HPD, available to:

  • Provide one-on-one education and assistance through the Council Member's office;
  • Work with tenants individually about how to file a complaint and what to expect from the complaint process;
  • Discuss open violations with either tenants or property owners;
  • Discuss options for violation removal;
  • Provide property registration assistance; and
  • Make referrals on issues such as affordable housing, foreclosures, and tenant harassment.

DATE: Wednesday, August 8, 2018
TIME: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
LOCATION: 211 East 43rd Street, Suite 1205

RSVP TO THESE EVENTS: Email kpowers@council.nyc.gov or call (212) 818-0580 and let us know the events you would like to attend.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
