Many of us had 6'+ of awful water in our basements that had to be pumped out and the space then cleaned. Many of us have had to replace boilers and hot water heaters and electrical panels and meters before any insurance adjusters or FEMA inspectors came, and we have been scrambling 10 ways to Sunday to pay for these repairs before the insurance money comes. ALL of the information that has come from the insurance companies, city government and Governor Cuomo's office has that repairs to save buildings from further damage SHOULD be made asap. Owners have been responsible to document damage with pictures and keep excellent financial records and then they have been able to proceed with essential repairs. Major electrical repairs, including on electrical meters, can and have been done by licensed electricians throughout Long Beach, with LIPA's blessing. For the representative of the restoration company to say that the landlord HAD to wait to proceed due to waiting for LIPA and insurance adjusters and FEMA is false, and a poor excuse to cover up the irresponsible and disrespectful inaction by the landlord.

Long Beach and especially the Westholme community depend on the Lindell Deli. The Whelan family has always been generous & kind to the community and we need their deli back NOW!!! Many families live in that building and NEED heat and electricity to survive. I encourage all supporters of the Lindell Deli to call and/or write to the LB Building Department (516-431-1005) and to any media outlet to which they have access to report this landlord's failures and to ask the City/County/LIPA management to facilitate in any and all ways possible the swift reopening of the Lindell Deli & the re-habitation of that building by those who live there. Action is needed NOW to help this 40 year family business reopen--support the Lndell Deli, the Whelans, and the building residents today!!!

From: Deli owner: turn the power on!
