freeway here's why this is 2 the elevate freeway and muni here previous to this the assumptions about the heights were actually not including this type of property now they are so i want to tell you what's been accomplished one hundred and have 6 properties since the law was passed that have been screened and 38 percent require the clansz ventilation 22 u 32 because of our booming economy we've changed the turn around and offered people to comply

with this amendment some people have chosen that sgru just to talk about the filters there have been studies both objection studies and modeling the one in finland where the air they were studying is slightly cleaner and they showed will i using the same filltion they'll have 20 percent less explore and 20 percent less deaths they've applied the 70 to 20 thousand deaths per year is prevented this is a chance to be pioneers

all the research shows the cleated a calculated benefits exceed the costs this amendment that supervisor cohen introduced today, i clearly feel it's our job as regular looser larry's to make our community successful the work they do is important that's increasing increasing our housing supply the lack of housing it is we're fulfill committed to work with our agency partners to explore technology that work so we can all mutually achieve your goals it's part of our responsibility to make that available to our community and public i appreciate the amendment. >> supervisor kim. >> yeah. first of all, i want

to thank supervisor cohen for working on this important legislation all our residents in district 67 are interested in the neighborhoods by the freeways it is good for me to see the data how it impacts the south america's and district 6 i know it comes up often with our residents and i can see from my house the windows you see a collide of black dust and the window that i leave closed it white you see the air blood transfusion so i'm really glad we're moving forward this is for new buildings and buildings that need alteration but i'm curious how does it impact the buildings coming up i know it continues to

be a zoning concern among your residents i want to mayor that our residents are the highest level of protection from in the neighborhoods. >> we're in a difficult transition many of the places get their permits prior to 2008 so they're not necessarily held to article 28 maybe through the sequa mitigation so it's been a case by case that has brought us to a variance process this new amendments requires the department it 0 create a set of rules and regulations but up to now, it's one negotiated at a time. >> what do me over to our existing residence that have lived there prior to 2008 it won't be required to comply with

that legislation is there something we can offer he in terms of the hoa are the developer were ready to comply with the standards? there would be no problem one thing an agency to get that communication >> i'd like to sit down with this and see what we know do for our larger buildings i know that resident are interested i would want to add my name a as a co-sponsor. >> that's wonderful. >> we're looking at our neighborhood near our freeways that's where the parcels are we have to look at the other policies to make sure our buildings are safe as possible. >> we've been be looking at the language we're skpg them to
