FREE REPRESENTATION IN COURT FOR WESTCHESTER RESIDENTS FACING EVICTION. ACCESS TO COUNSEL BILL SIGNED BY COUNTY EXECUTIVE.

Hits: 0

WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From Westchester County Department of Communications (Edited) June 1, 2023:

Westchester County Executive George Latimer has signed into law a bill creating the Office of Housing Counsel located within the Department of Social Services which will provide  free legal counsel to individuals in housing matters involving eviction.

Latimer said: “Housing is a necessity. Plain and simple. This legislation will help Westchester residents who are facing hardships remain in their homes, easing the burden on our social services and lowering the number of our neighbors facing a crisis in their living situations. I commend the Board of Legislators for their work on this trailblazing legislation here in Westchester.”

According to the 2020 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, New York State has the highest rate of homelessness in the country, with 92,000 New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. Even worse, in a 2016 report by Stout Risius Ross, a staggering 1.2 million households are behind on rent and landlords are actively trying to evict more than 236,000 tenants statewide. According to the Right to Counsel NYC Coalition, 220,000 evictions are pending in New York courts, including town, village, and justice courts.

Currently, low-income tenants in Westchester County do not have guaranteed access to legal counsel in eviction proceedings.

Across the state an overwhelming majority of landlords are represented during eviction proceedings, whereas most tenants are not.

According to the Westchester County Right to Counsel Coalition (“WCRTCC”), in normal years, when more than  10,000 eviction proceedings are filed in Westchester County Courts, 93% of landlords are represented by counsel, while only 7% of tenants have attorneys.  Programs that provide legal counsel at no cost to low income tenants, have proven to be very successful at preventing evictions and protecting tenants’ rights

This legislation will establish an Office of Housing Counsel within the County Department of Social Services for establishment of a County-wide program to provide access to legal services for income-eligible tenants and occupants. Meaning, a person whose household income is at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines or 60% of the County Average Medium Income who has legal standing in a covered proceeding.

A covered proceeding is any proceeding in any court in the County or any administrative agency administering housing programs which involves:

·         the eviction of a covered individual,

·         challenges to rent increases based upon a landlord’s failure to provide proper notice,

·         maintaining or restoring a covered individual’s occupancy of a residential rental premises,

·         possession of a residential premises for the non-payment of rent or a holdover; restoration or maintenance of essential services, and

·         a proceeding which would result in the termination of tenancy, rental subsidy, or other rental assistance.

The legal services provided to covered individuals pursuant to this program will be at no cost to the clients. Additionally, community engagement and education to inform tenants of their ability to access legal counsel will be undertaken to help residents learn about this important program.

The legal services provided to covered individuals pursuant to this program will be at no cost to the clients. Additionally, community engagement and education to inform tenants of their ability to access legal counsel will be undertaken to help residents learn about this important program.

The measure passed the Board of Legislators unanimously.

Board of Legislators Chairman Vedat Gashi said: “At the Board of Legislators, we are always looking for ways to improve the lives of the residents of Westchester. This legislation does just that. I thank my colleagues on the Board for their diligent work, the County Executive and his staff for their efforts to bring this to fruition and I look forward to working with the dedicated County staff on its implementation.”

Legislator Catherine Borgia said: “This law sets a gold standard for access to housing counsel. Once the office is in operation, tenants will have access to brief legal representation or full legal representation on a host of housing matters, including eviction proceedings, landlord’s failure to provide proper notice of rent increase, maintaining or restoring essential services to the tenant, among others. Even before the pandemic, it was obvious that housing costs were too high, causing economic strain for Westchester families and harming local economies. In 2019, I spent time in several local courts and I saw how unrepresented tenants were outmatched in court. The end of the pandemic-era eviction moratorium has created a huge jump in eviction proceedings, increasing risk of homelessness for families already struggling with high costs.”

MAY COVID COUNT WESTCHESTER DAILY POSITIVES: 646 A WEEK/2,584 A MONTH

Hits: 71

Hits: 12

 

71  PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED FOR SERIOUS COVID  AT WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL IN MAY—60% OF TOTAL ROOM ADMISSIONS.

WPCNR COVID SURVEILLANCE. Statistics from NY Covid Health Department. Observation & Analysis by John F. Bailey. May 30, 2023.

The daily covid positives in Westchester County based on positive lab verified results  per 100,000 population numbered 156 through Saturday May 27.  The week of May 21 through May 27 marked the 6th  straight week since the week of April  9 to 15 (when Westchester reported 228 new cases) that the county has averaged a stubborn slow decline in covid cases from 288  down to 156 last week, a 11% decline in 6 weeks.

The average new daily cases per week has averaged 174 cases a week , a total of 1,045 across Westchester the last 6 weeks. Every week 174 new cases were reported in Westchester.

At White Plains, at White Plains Hospital Medical Center, the hospitalizations of persons seriously ill with covid requiring rooms at the hospital have averaged 60% of all persons admitted to hospital beds through the first 29 days of may (71 coved patient admissions to rooms of 119 admitted, 60%). The covid admissions to rooms amount to  11 of 28 hospitalizations last week, a decline from the previous week. This is a reminder that if you have not gotten fully vaccinated and your two boosters, you might want to get up to date. Covid is out there. It is stubbornly hanging on.

As readers of this column know, only daily cases lab verified are being reported by the Covid Tracker. This means the total cases of positives out there on any given day is not known  (not verified because there is no trace testing, no admonition to have antigen tests reported for verification by a lab).

The ability to project covid spread into the summer is hard to tell. Well, the daily cases per 100,000 in Westchester the last month work out when multiplied by Westchester County population of 1,004,000 we can tell you how the disease will spread, whether it will grow, remain the same or diminish.

Through May, it diminished but now seems to be reducing in infections and is plateau at 175 a month.

Last week the new infections were at 2.3 a day per 100,000 population for 7 days.  Multiply that by 10.04 ( 1,004,000 Westchester population) that works out to 23 new cases a day. That means  161 new infections were the potential new covid cases last week based on the population. If the 2.3  daily rate continues, and you multiply that by 4 weeks the month of June may see 2,584 infections of actual infections. But wait!

The 2,584 infections expected from this artificially low positive 2.3 daily cases per 100,000 are verified.

Who knows who will go in and get lab-tested?

Last June the “Anything Goes” lack of enforcement of covid infections  was instituted by the state legislature that took away the Governor’s powers  in 2021to declare a health emergency gave the covid disease a 5th wave.  In June of 2022, 9,632 infections (lab verified) that was based on actual test positives were recorded, which climbed to over 10,000 new covid infections. Totals of new covid cases daily average 300 a day for the month of June last year.

Will this Summer Spread happen again?  The vaccines have steadily lowered the number of covid cases the last 11 months.

We have no way of knowing how many persons will be out there in June carrying covid and not getting positive antigen tests verified by a lab test,  and how sick they will get.

If you go by projecting the present 2.3 daily infection rate,  the daily infections not counted by verification of antigen tests, could be a very low number of the daily infections (lab tested) continue to decline. If the daily rate goes up, will they go up another 3,000 perhaps?

The only way to prevent getting covid if the June  mystery covid carriers multiply and start growing to last year’s levels, is to complete your vaccine series and the boosters. And mask more. Very few were masked when I was out in public over the weekend.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

IT’S SUNNY. IT’S 71WPCNR DEGREES.IT’S GRILLIN’ TIME. THE INTREPID AMERICAN GRILLMAN RETURNS

Hits: 119

Hits: 20

IMG_7219

 

WPCNR GRILLMAN GAZETTE. By The Grillin Gourmet. ReInternetted from The CitizeNetReporter Archives of the Ancient Past. April , 2018:

No matter whether you’re a New York Liberal, a Michigan Wolverine, A Trump supporter, A Desantisman, BIDENET or California free spirit, there’s still one phenomenon the country still believes in AND IS SOLIDLY ALL IN– the American grill.

Thanks to the chimney charcoal starter and its glowing orange coals, the backyard American barbeque DNA macho in the amateur chef was inordinately delayed by the coldest WETTEST spring in memory.

But today its 71  degrees in White Plains New York USA, CLIMBING TO 77 WABCCCCCC DEGREES. The immortal deejay Big Dan Ingram is telling you to “Roll Your Bod,”Beach  and the grill is  READY!

Steak was raised outside!

It was born to be cooked outside.

The outdoor charcoal grilled steak puts the steakhouse in its place!

In this griller’s opinion, outdoor grilling proves once again to be superior to the overpriced artificial-tasting steak.

Sleek decor and atmosphere cannot duplicate backyard origins. The economy may be slogging, your home equity shrinking, but  take heart even the hobo can grill! It’s part of American DNA. It’s Democracy!

IMG_7221

To do real steak right , you have to do it outside on charcoal.

The instinct of generations of the American backyard grilling  tradition passed up from  the cave, enjoyed at Valley Forge. Lewis and Clark bit into venison discovering the Northwest.

Cowboys sunk teeth into rare beef around chuck wagons on the prairie and up from the Southland , barbecue  inbred and passed on from American father to American son – cutting across nationality and station – gives you real steak – not $100 technology  enhanced cuts. 

Flaming charcoal makes steak a living thing in your mouth!

IMG_7220
As long as the American grilling tradition is handed down, the pioneer “can-do” spirit lives! Look at those glowing babies romancing, enhancing that steak. It makes your mouth water!

Why go out for dinner when you can tap your inner griller and say I can cook steak better!

The difference is the air, the smoke, the way marinade just drips down into the coals and gets into the meat. It’s chemistry,  Americans!

What is it about the American Grillman that’s so special that his or hers backyard cuts beat the insider  professionals’ inflation-friendly ostentatious steaks?

It’s the unique chemistry of being American and believing in the charcoal flames. The campfire. The Longbranch saloon.

On Memorial Day weekend, it’s a must. On Independence Day Weekend, it’s not July 4 unless you’re grillin’. On Labor Day, if you’re not workin’, you’re grillin’.

There’s just something about the searing intensity of glowing charcoal combining mystically with the testosterone and instinctual synergy between red meat and the dedicated outdoor griller –  it beats in taste, juiciness and texture the contrived technology of the most expensive restaurant equipment.

No matter how tasty the megabuck meat is in the swank sticker shock steak palaces of the expense accounters, there’s always that artificial packaged taste that betrays the indoor steak. The butter softness. The soft crust of the black topped surface of the indoor steak just does not have the nubile grizzled roughhewn  ruggedflamed  reluctant yield of the outdoor one-on-one grilled steak that fights your bicuspids with spirit, and sealed in juiciness.

The Chimney Starter the Secret.

Pour in a helping of those ultimate black beauties, Kingsford charcoal briquettes into the chimney top.

Fifteen minutes before the wife has the sides ready, take a wooden match to the aperatures in the base of the starter and light up the edges of the newsprint. Within 10-15 minutes you’ve got coals a firey orange red. You’re ready to outcook the pros.

After the Griller’s wife has marinated the meat –  the bone trimmed Porterhouse is sizzzzzzzlllllllllling in the caressing deep searing heat of glowing orange briquettes – 4  minutes a side in 400 degree heat and deft turning and surgical “rareness checks” – the seasoned grilling caballero  simply has a feel for the meat – passed genetically down from generations of American grillers.

The combination of cauldron, flavored steel grill rods and perfect flames creates the grillmark “brand” lets you know just by looking at the cut, you’re going to get the natural taste of the backyard steak –  No one can do a great cut like you can!

As any redblooded American Grillman will tell you when doing a steak – you can’t deliver a steak by manual or instructions.

You have to feel the meat. Feel it cook. You just know its time. Hearty smoke promising juicy meat that melts in your mouth creates an experience only the grillman or GrillGal knows.

Every cut is not the same.

Each deserves a surgeon’s attention to cooking timing and detail. And surgical checks are necessary.

The American Grillman becomes one with the meat. With eye and knowledge of the hue of red – you just  know  by instinct when she’s done.

Cooking is slowed down by moving the meats to the side off the heat to keep the American beauties warm

With the wife’s deft presentation, sweet potato fries, corn pudding, fresh beans and mushrooms the Grillman’s natural art creates the taste of traditional American 3-Day Weekend.

Get those grills handy and ready to fire up to get that taste of American unity once again.

When you’re over the grill, you’re King of the Hill.
