??Let the scaffolding industry help fix the mess ?? "Voice of the People"?New York Daily News https://lnkd.in/d47RQVBD Long Island City: The op-ed “Speaker Adams must end scaffold mess” (Jan. 26) hits the mark on needed reforms to “Get Sheds Down” but mistakenly claims that the scaffolding industry is an obstacle. The NYC Special Riggers Association (SRA) represents the scaffold, access and restoration industry. We believe sidewalk sheds should only be temporary protection, property owners should make needed repairs promptly, and the Local Law 11 inspection process needs to be revisited. We also support improving lighting and color schemes, allowing the city to conduct repairs if property owners fail to act and imposing penalties if work permits are not pursued within six months of erecting scaffolding. We are proudly working with Councilmember Keith Powers and others on legislation to achieve the greatest level of success in concept and implementation. The Department of Buildings is working with architects on a new design and must maintain the structural integrity to protect the public. Proposals to use cantilevered platforms and disallow sheds on new construction sites will lengthen the time to complete construction if safety standards already provided by sheds are to be maintained. It is property owners’ responsibility to repair their buildings so scaffolding can be removed. Unfortunately, smaller building owners in lower-income neighborhoods have the toughest time paying for required repairs and need access to grants or low-interest loans to complete these repairs. No one-size-fits-all approach will solve this problem, but the building code amendments we support will preserve our city’s historic skyline while protecting pedestrians, residents and workers. Veronika Sikorski, president, NYC SRA

Today, we honor the profound legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – a visionary who taught us that social progress demands both bold dreams and purposeful action. His message of equality, justice, and unity remains as relevant today as it was during the Civil Rights Movement. At Andromeda Access Group, we're committed to building the more equitable world Dr. King envisioned. His words remind us that real change happens when we combine hope with concrete steps toward progress. "The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy." These words inspire us to maintain our commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces and communities where every voice is heard and valued. As we reflect on Dr. King's impact, we recommit ourselves to turning his dream into reality through our actions, policies, and partnerships. #MLKDay #SocialJustice #Equality #Leadership #CorporateResponsibility #AndromedaAccessGroup
