Assembly Member Harvey Epstein emphasized the need to protect green spaces, showing disappointment over the potential loss of the neighborhood’s beloved community garden due to neglectful ownership. He stated, "By neglecting to pay taxes on the lot, Mr. Stallings has exploited a loophole to evade his responsibilities under the lease. This situation highlights systemic failures, and we must take action to prevent it from happening again."
Council Member Carlina Rivera reiterated the value of open spaces, stressing, "Our public greenspaces are essential for community well-being, and losing this garden would be a significant blow to local residents and their efforts to cultivate a better environment."
