Board candidate • First Avenue Owners, Inc.

I never expected to run.
But I believe we can do better.

I’m Jared Slomack, a shareholder at 340 East 80th Street. After months of talking with neighbors, I realized many of the concerns I thought were mine alone are shared by others. I decided I could either accept that or put some of my own time into helping improve it.

What I’ve been hearing

Six recurring themes

These are not formal survey results. They are recurring themes from conversations with neighbors, especially at 340 during the elevator modernization. I want to hear much more from 333 and from residents whose priorities may be very different from mine.

Resident Pulse

I don’t want to guess what people think.

The short Resident Pulse survey is designed to hear from more people across both buildings. It asks about value, service, communication, responsiveness, representation and priorities.

Is there something I missed?

Use the site now to tell me what you think should be part of my platform. If elected, I intend to keep this channel open so residents have another way to raise issues and identify recurring themes.
