Upper West Siders have two opportunities to speak with lawyers free-of-charge this week at open houses held by local politicians.
On Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m., City Council Member Helen Rosenthal will be co-hosting her monthly housing clinic. The topic this week is “Finding Affordable Housing; Roommates & Subletting” and it will be held at Goddard Riverside, 593 Columbus Avenue (88th-89th street). Afterward, lawyers are available to discuss housing issues with constituents. You must arrive by 6:45 to sign up to speak with a lawyer, and the sign-up starts at 6.
And on Friday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., state Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal (no relation to Helen) and State Senator José Serrano are hosting constituent hours and a free legal clinic at St. Agnes Library, 444 Amsterdam Avenue (81st-82nd).

Any one know if there are any tenant rights regarding cell phone towers on a neighboring building? They’re doing some construction on the roof of the building hosting the towers and have moved the antennas a lot closer to our apartment. I want to make sure they put them back when they’re done and don’t leave them in the new position. Wondering where I might start researching this. Thx
If they are on a neighboring building and they have the air rights you have no say where they put them sadly
Thank you kindly. I figured there wasn’t much I could do.
They just moved them from the roof to the side of the building while they’re doing work. They’re attached to a scaffold now and aimed right at our apt. Hopefully they go back on the roof when they’re done.
Maybe I can erect a 40′ tall tinfoil Mu shield! We own our air rights 🙂
What about other people’s cables hanging from the roof down the side of my building, right in front of both my windows in the living room? I live on the top floor and don’t use pay TV services of any kind. I cannot believe they did that, and it has been a while since they just left it like that.
