Even after many tragedies such as this are still happening, most of our New York City Council slugs still aren't moving fast enough to make sure that the corrupt DOB is totally revamped to insure adequate public safety !
This comes as no surprise, however, there's not much incentive for many of our NYC Council members who are "on the take" from developers to change the status quo !
It's time for some serious house cleaning at City Hall !
