An engineering study is being planned to determine how much work needs to be done on the Nelson Avenue garage in Peekskill.
City officials are contracting with Birdsall Services Group, which is based out of White Plains, to conduct an engineering and electrical study on the structure at a cost not exceed $18,500.
The contract, which was approved during last week’s common council meeting, will be finalized sometime during the next few weeks.
The garage, which is at least 40 years old, has had problems with leaking and the city has had to make repairs to its facade in the past.

By the way, in our new system we have an update that includes a community moderation tool—it's…Read More not only Patch editors who can flag comments. What is it? Readers can flag any content they find objectionable on any Patch site at any time. We’ve put the flagging link in more places to make it easier to find and backed it with more sophisticated tools. Our goal is to recognize and reward readers who make our community great. How does it work? You’ll see these words — Flag as Inappropriate — on the top and bottom of Board posts, articles, blogs and notes, and next to every single comment anywhere on the site. To flag something, you simply click those words. What happens when you flag? It alerts us that something might be up with the content. When should you flag? We ask that you use your common sense and a general spirit of openness. You should never flag things that you simply disagree with and certainly not to clarify minor points. We encourage you to comment, post (or even start your own blog) to be heard on those things. You can review the Patch Terms of Use Ashley referred to above.

don't know why I'm having a problem getting this written............anyway...they are rude,…Read More unhygenic and WILL NOT follow any of the condo rules....there's so much more but we are sick of it. There are only two of us that speak up...everyone else is cowering behind closed doors.

Unleashed dogs is getting to be a big problem in Peekskill. I see them routinely now. People are…Read More letting their pit bulls out, their poodles, their chihuahuas - all kinds of dogs. Two days a go I watched a lady jogging on the track with her loose dog. The dog wasn't even supposed to be on the track no less loose. Some kid or elderly lady is going to get bit. Loose dogs also end up in more fights with other dogs.

Sue a sad fact that these days of “political correctness” individuals who exhibit rude…Read More and ignorant behavior are empowered by the rest of us. I know of a similar situation where the individuals will yell four letter words in the public areas with young children there, call others the foulest things, and in this case, they are black and gay so the race/gay card is used constantly. Until people make it known they are not going to tolerate their behavior it will not stop. Have you notified the property owner, complex board, and police, or maybe the board of health?

It seems Patch moves editors every year. Liz was here when I signed up. Then she was shortly moved…Read More to Rye and Rasheed took over. He must have been here about a year and then he left when the new format was introduced. Both times patch started cooking and then it got cut down just as new staff got their mojo going. A new editor with a new format seems like starting from scratch again. I know AOL/Patch needs to get some cash flow going quick (from what I've read) but I can't see what they are trying to do exactly by tipping the cart over and over

Working Families Party almost always cross endorses with Democrats. Looks like the choice is…Read More getting clearer: One team is Democrat, WFP and Independent and the Catalina Team is Republican, Right-to-life, Conservative. Anyway, I believe Catalina is campaigning as anti-gay rights, so I know how I will be voting.

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/05/major_engineering_firm_searche.html Why can't we attract new and maybe more reputable businesses to Peekskill? Oh wait, because the Mayor and Council refuse (why?) to look at this problem of cronyism and do anything about it.
