Plans call for a 21-unit complex including four studio, 11 one-bedroom and 6 two-bedroom apartments.The association is now submitting an application to the City%u2019s Low-Income Housing Trust Fund for the $385,468 project. A furtherapplication to the Housing Preservation Department is about to be filed for $30,000 to hire staff to work on the development.At its Aug. 5 meeting, the City Properxies Committee of Community Board Six held an information meeting on the Red Hook project. A further discussion on the HPD request is scheduled for the committee meeting Sept. 2.Jim Albano, with the Carroll Gardens Association says that %u201cassuming there are no objections,%u201d construction will begin in the Spring. %u201cYou have to remember, we%u2019re dealing with government agencies,%u201d he says, referring to the maze of boards that have to approve any project before construction can start.%u2014R.T.Sunset Park Hospital Given Service AwardLutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park has been named the winner of the Foster G.

I submit this is unacceptable service.6. General inaccuracies on undeliverables. First class mail is misdelivered, and returned to us as %u201caddressee unknown,%u201d when the firm has not moved at all, or marked %u201cnot there, not forwardable.%u201d First class mail is certainly forwardable. I am not confusing this with the regulation that states that mail is not forwardable after a year. I now have so little faith in the random responses on returned envelopes and packages that I send additional first class inquiries to find out if the return is correct. We have had only one case this year where toe recipient had truly disappeared.7. Delivery standards not met. It takes two weeks for heavier first class shipments to arrive in Manhattan, and three to four days in Brooklyn. Therefore, if delivery on time isvery important, I now use UPS. It may cost a little more, but I know for sure toe mail will arrive on time. I have no such assurance with toe Post Office.8. Untrained customer representatives. I was heartened to learn that our new customer representative was out being trained. I stopped even trying to use the prior person%u2019s assistance, because all I received were suggestions of whom else to call in GPO, and the information was frequently inaccurate. It has taken 3 calls in the past to try to reach the correct person, so I found it easier, though more time-intensive, to visit the GPO, which is now a substantial trip from Atlantic Avenue.These are some of toe problems we fight to overcome continually. They waste my time, and toe time of both my secretary and shipp ing clerk, and we earn infuriated customers to boot. Yet our non-profit rates have gone up so frequently in the last 12 months we are finding it difficult to keep up with them.I look forward to a response indicating what plans you have for correcting them, and an idea of how long you think it%u2019s reasonable to wait for solutions. %u2014 Roberta Hal porn, Director, The Center for Thanatology Research and Education, 391 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn.ITALIAN ART IRON WORKSBURGLAR PROOF SPECIALISTSPROTECT YOUR VALUABLES WITH SAFE GUARDS%u2022 LOBBY DOORS%u2022 STEPS-TO-ORDER%u2022 STAIRCASES %u2022S P IR A L S T A iR S%u2022 PO RCHES%u2022W IN D O W G U ARDS%u2022 DOOR GUARDS%u2022 CELLAR DO ORS %u2022S K Y L IG H T GUARDS%u2022 ROOF HATCHES %u2022S T E L L STRUCTURES %u2022%u2022 R A ILIN G SBrownstone H ouses%u2022.aiium aii\\ u u iiu m i^ oOur Specialty875-136238 Bergen ST.-A Braided RugstrB ro a d io o m RunnersCarpeting for stairsand hallwaysSales & ServiceCarpet Cleaning Co.Est. 19285604 3rd Ave.439-9005 JCastrotthe Standardof perform anceGTX 10-30, 10-40, 20-50Engineered fo r sm aller carsV8, V6, 4 cylinder enginesRegular 12-Pack Price $17.8812-Pack Sato Prtc* $ 1 4 .9 9Quart Sale Price $ 1 .2 5W L -U AUTO SUPPLY1 %u00ab 4 th A m %u2022 R lrlu n(718)388 2 8 9 0 '*195 A TYPICAL FLIGHT.Offer includes Bigelow Antron Hi broadloom, padding of commercial grade hair-jute and all installation costs.
