Whether you have a question about a parking ticket or a water bill, or want to make a complaint about a street light that is not working or question your property tax bill, it is important that you attend this meeting.”

Golden continued, “I also would invite the community to attend this meeting and take advantage of the services being offered by the NYPD to improve your personal safety. And, as we soon will be setting back our clocks, this is a great time to check that our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are working, and so FDNY will be providing new ones free of charge at the meeting.”
