Notices to Affiliates and Staff

These notices are issued for significant regulatory and advisory events at NYSBC.

CUNY/CCNY CONSTRUCTION

1. There will be a start of some construction on the athletic field site in the very near future. Intrusive blasting and excavation are not yet scheduled.
2. The period of construction is likely to exceed two years.
3. Because of this construction, the following steps are being taken
   1. Security. The guards are being instructed to observe strictly that only individuals with NYSBC ID cards can be regularly admitted. Any others require that staff respond to the guard's inquiry or have made a prior arrangement for their admission.
   2. All hours and non standard hours. FOR FIRE SAFETY PURPOSES ONLY -- on regular work days, the guard will make an announcement and will expect phone response every 3 hours starting at 600P. This will also be done weekends every 3 h when the building is occupied. Again, the only purpose is to avoid a complete search of the building by FDNY in event of fire alarm. The low density of occupancy during the checked hours requires this safety measure. Your cooperation will be appreciated.
   3. Construction related activity changes and information. There will be advisories on construction on a regular basis. There will be an NYSBC - based construction monitor who will be point of contact for information and impact recording. On a temporary basis until this is set up, please email plantrequests@nysbc.org or contact Mr Murphy at x 400.
   4. Parking. There is now considerable oversubscription for the 133rd St lot. Note that there are commercial lots available.
   5. In the parking lot and in the surrounding streets, it is likely that there will be people unfamiliar with the area and driving without proper attention. Please be very alert to the danger of traffic.
4. Evacuation and Alert Drills. In order to test the communication systems, and people's understanding of the procedures, you should expect there to be a Evacuation drill, similar to that expected for a Fire Alarm in the near future. Your cooperation in evacuating and reporting to the guard outside the building to ensure completion will be greatly appreciated.
   1. Additionally, to check the Alert system, there may be periodic Alert drill announcements, with a request for a selection of people to respond by phone back. This is intended to test the coverage of the alert system over the phone loudspeakers.
