Image of Dual Burner Hot Plates From GE Housewares An outage of gas service for residents of Roosevelt Island’s Westview Mitchell Lama building is scheduled to begin May 18 and may last as long as two months according to the Notice below sent by Westview’s RY Mangement Co last week. The Notice states that there will be no cooking gas available during this time but RY Management will provide residents with dual burner hot plates. Click on the Notice to enlarge it.
I asked Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) Vice President of Operations Fernando Martinez for a comment. Mr. Martinez replied:
I have a call in RY Management. Jennifer Jones will not be back in the office until Tuesday.

Dear neighbors,
The Westview Taskforce will be meeting with RY Management next Tuesday, May 10th to discuss the Gas Outage plan, tenants concerns and alternatives. Our goals are to understand the reasons why this is being done and come up with a less intrusive plan.
We will communicate the results of this meeting immediately following the meeting.
As usual, we will post updates on our Website as well as in the billboard in front of the doorman station.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Now, in addition to the lack of Verizon FIOS service and the long awaited elevator renovations , it looks like Westview residents will not be cooking any dinner parties at home in the near future.
