Good afternoon.  My name is Liz Krueger and I represent the 26th State Senate District, which includes the Upper East Side, East Midtown and Midtown neighborhoods of Manhattan.

I appreciate the opportunity to express my full support for the designation of Manhattan House as a New York City landmark.  Located within my Senate District at 200 East 66th Street, Manhattan House reflects both the culture and history of the surrounding community, as well as a wider movement that aimed to bring better living conditions to all New Yorkers.

I appreciate the opportunity to express my full support for the restoration of landmark status to 429 East 64th Street (“429”) and 430 East 65th Street (“430”) as part of the City and Suburban Homes Company’s First Avenue Estate.  These buildings reflect both the culture and history of the community in which they are located, as well as a wider movement that aimed to bring better living conditions to all New Yorkers.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed change to section 350.4 (a) (7) of 18 NYCRR.  I am deeply troubled by the proposed change and urge OTDA to reject this proposal which would deny cash benefits to Public Assistance cases transitioning to Safety Net Assistance for a 45 day waiting period.
