Why is luxury development construction being allowed to continue?We live in a building with 100 people where half the building is being converted to luxury rentals. Workers are still on all floors of the building going up and down in the elevator all day @BrianLehrer #askthemayor

When artist Efren Andaluz learned #KobeBryant had passed, he mourned by creating.

Now a beautiful mural paying tribute to Kobe and his daughter Gianna is taking shape across from the Barclays center.

Asbestos in NYC is more common than you think: https://t.co/lg5IgI1XO0

[475 Kent Lives @475KentLives]

Asbestos remediation is dangerous if not handled correctly when old buildings are being rebuilt. Call 311 if you see any potentially dangerous condition

[Ben Kallos, Former NYC Council Member @BenKallos]

Construction is an inherently dangerous business Let's make workers as safe as possible. Thank you to @NYC_Buildings for stepping up.

Ridiculous & Dangerous construction happening over ordinary citizens heads every day in #NYC...#NYCCouncil should be considering Licensing and criminal prosecution when #ConstructionSweatshop employers cut corners for a buck. #SpeakUp b4 you get crushed https://t.co/LZvKIHQXOH

Being diligent about dangerous construction in your building is your business and you could save a life. Always report dangerous nuisance construction to #311 to protect your rights and your neighbors.

[Department of Buildings @NYC_Buildings]

Voracious rent increases have chased many artists and creatives from Brooklyn in the last 15 years. Our sister city Berlin has just enacted a RENT FREEZE for 5 years. Sounds good! #excessiveprofitmaximization

[UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing @adequatehousing]

"Housing must not be an object of excessive profit maximization," said Left party politician Harald Wolf.

A wonderful #Right2Housing victory from Berlin! https://t.co/MYC7pehgeJ
