JUST PASSED: Southeast Queens: Shared Driveways Flood Often And Now There is a New Law To Help With That

Bill for Flooding Mitigation on Shared Community Driveways: Basic gist: to enable people who share driveways, like in Southeast Queens, to work together to create a community solution even if a few homeowners don’t want to participate. City Councillor Nantasha Williams developed legislation that addresses this working with State Senator Leroy Comrie and Assembly Member Alicia Hyndman to create new legislation: Senate Bill S4040 and Assembly Bill A5362.
