We know there’s a lot of concern in our community right now, and we are here to help in this difficult time. At the NoHo BID, we are trying to protect our street furniture by moving our planters and DSNY has moved some garbage cans so they are less likely to be damaged. We also would like to give our Clean Team a big shout out for working hard and coming in on their day off to remove debris and clean the streets this morning.
I want to emphasize again to our community that the BID is here for you. If we can do anything or answer any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
