					  <description><![CDATA[When the Dutch settled in what was then called &#8220;New Amsterdam,&#8221; a man named Johann Lampo patrolled the trails and paths of the area, keeping the peace and watching for fires. Little did Lampo know that he was the first in a long, honored line of law enforcement officers of New York City. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In 1932, when Josephine Baldizzi was six, her mother Rosaria, used to bathe her in the kitchen&#8217;s slop sink in their five-story walkup tenement building at 97 Orchard Street. On her walk to school, she wore her father Adolfo&#8217;s size 9 shoes and hand-me down clothes. Rosaria tended to the household, and for a time worked long hours in the nearby garment factory. Adolfo was a cabinetmaker, who carried around a toolbox, and did odd jobs to support his family. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Recently, the Appellate Division, First
 Department&#8212;the state&#8217;s second highest court located in
 Manhattan&#8212;announced a decision with far-reaching implications for the
 state&#8217;s condominium owners. In the case Pekelnaya v. Allyn, the court
 ruled that individual condo owners cannot be held liable to third parties
 for injuries sustained as a result of a defective condition in the
 &#8220;common elements&#8221; of the building.

					  <description><![CDATA[ This winter, like all before it, is sure to see
 thousands of New Yorkers suffering from colds, sore throats, and
 run-of-the-mill-but-always-inconvenient flu. While fatigue, headaches, and
 even nausea are miserable in and of themselves, with cold weather there
 also comes a greater chance that those unpleasant-but-bearable symptoms
 might be a sign of something much more serious&#8212;carbon monoxide
 poisoning.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Safety first&#8221; is good advice on any job, but it
 is especially appropriate for the varied and dynamic tasks assigned to
 co-op and condo building staff. Whether checking furnace valves, sealing
 minor plumbing leaks, keeping the lobby floors shining or getting that
 flickering light in the ninth-floor hallway fixed, the potential for
 accident or injury exists in just about any task, no matter how innocuous.
 Preventing those problems before they arise, however, is the key to a safe
 workplace&#8212;one in which management is fully invested in worker safety,
 and employees feel adequately protected.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Feeling safe in one&#8217;s home is one of life&#8217;s
 most basic requirements. In an urban residential building, it sometimes
 takes a lot more than locking the doors and making sure your stove is
 turned off before going to bed to achieve that feeling. Even though they
 aren&#8217;t trained security experts (and don&#8217;t necessarily have to
 be) the people who work in your condo or co-op building play an
 indispensable role in the building&#8217;s safety and emergency-response
 system.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Tragedy and crisis seemed to be the theme for 2005,
 with tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, and mudslides causing havoc and
 uprooting the lives of millions all over the world. Of course, we&#8217;d
 all like to think that if such an emergency ever hit New York, our city,
 state and federal governments would be prepared with an efficient and
 well-tested evacuation plan&#8212;but co-op and condo boards should know
 better than to just rely on that. When it comes to planning for
 emergencies, most likely it&#8217;s your board, management and staff who
 will be the first responders if a crisis does develop.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Twenty years ago, Lisa Collier Cool was sleeping in her
 14th floor apartment on West 72nd Street in Manhattan when her dog began
 barking. Not wanting to get up, Lisa tried to go back to sleep, but the dog
 was adamant and continued. Lisa awoke to find her room filling with black
 smoke. Rushing to escape a potentially deadly situation, she opened her
 front door, but the hallway was even smokier. She decided to stay put until
 the fireman came to the apartment, which they did a short time later,
 rescuing both Lisa and her dog.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Time was when New Yorkers rarely thought twice about
 disasters except when they watched movies such as &#8220;Airport,&#8221;
 &#8220;Earthquake,&#8221; &#8220;War of the Worlds&#8221; and &#8220;King
 Kong.&#8221;
