Take it Down!

Neighborhood activists campaigned to get landlord George Adams to do the work and take down a sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th St in Manhattan. We won!

@craigslutzkin We did a poster campaign calling for tenants and neighbors and any citizens walking by to call, write, and email the landlord and the City officials who could help.

@zhanglinli10 We meant the tenants and everyone who walks on this sidewalk.

Victory! Let the light shine and the breeze blow past this beautiful building. https://t.co/DfgJrm44q6

We're told by City Council sources that it's official. The sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th Street is down. Let the tree breathe and let the light in. Thank you, neighbors.

Many NYC neighborhoods are blighted by sidewalk sheds. Read about the oldest offenders here. https://t.co/6kzO39ab04

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood when the second-oldest sidewalk shed in NYC comes down after 23+ years. But can we trust this news? Is it official? George Adams, say something!

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

Men are taking down the sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th St - the second-oldest shed in NYC. Is this permanent? Landlord George Adams, tell us what you know!

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

@Brohattan @ebottcher @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice Landlord George Adams blew through another deadline. Take down the sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th. Do the work, George!

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

George Adams blew through another deadline. Finish the work, George! Take It Down!

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

@Brohattan Does leaving up a sidewalk shed for more than 20 years count as un-civic behavior? We're asking landlord George Adams to Take It Down! We could use your spirited activism on W 9th St.

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

Egregious decades-long sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th St - it seems the contractor is eager to finish the work by the May 22 deadline. But will owner George Adams deliver? @ebottcher

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

Landlord George Adams has a deadline: Take It Down by May 22. The sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th Street has been blighting the block for more than 23 years. Time's Up, George!

@ebottcher My kid just took a dive on the broken sidewalk at 8 W 9th Street. This is my third request to 311 for a repair. Help us get it done, Councillor. Reference: 311-10106213

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

Landlord George Adams has until May 22 to do the work and take down the sidewalk shed at 26 W 9th St. Take it Down, George! Help, us Councillor Bottcher. @ebottcher

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

George Adams, show us the work. Report on it here! The neighborhood will appreciate your neighborliness.

[Take it Down! @TimesUpGeorge]

@ebottcher Don't be fancy. Sanitation and trash collection are the very opposite of metaphors. They are feet on the ground, material-object, elbow-grease, muscle and willpower chores. We all have them. Get it done!
