RE: Notice of Intention to Inspect, Survey and Install/Upgrade Cable Television Facilities and Service at: 14 Orchard, New York NY

Dear Property Owner/ Manager:

I have been advised by Verizon New York lnc.'s ("Verizon") NYC FiOS Real Estate Department of Verizon’s unsuccessful attempts to either inspect, survey and/or install FiOS facilities at 14 Orchard, New York NY ("Property"). Our records indicate that you have not responded to our previous correspondence or that you have denied Verizon access to the Property. The purpose of this letter is to restate and explain our need to gain access to your Property.

By way of background, Verizon is attempting to gain access to your Property because we have received a request for FiOS service(s) from a tenant(s) in your building and/or a resident(s) on your block, and our access to your Property is necessary to provide cable television services to those tenants and/or residents. We are very excited about the opportunity to provide world-class voice, data and video services to you and the area residents using a fiber based network to deliver these services at unprecedented speeds and capacities. Your cooperation in allowing Verizon access to your Property will enable your tenants and/or other residents on your block to receive the services they want in a timely manner.

Please be advised that under Section 228 of the New York Public Service Law and Part 898, Title 16 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations ("NYCRR"), Verizon has the right to install cable television facilities upon the Property. Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 53 N.Y. 2d 124 (1981). In addition , Verizon's Cable Franchise Agreement with the City of New York requires Verizon to provide cable television service to residents in its franchise area who request it, and Verizon has a limited timeframe in which to do so. Verizon's compliance with these franchise requirements may be compromised by the delay we are experiencing in trying to gain access to and install cable television facilities at your Property.

Verizon’s proposed installation will protect the safety, functioning and appearance of the premises, and Verizon will bear the cost of the installation of its cable television facilities. Verizon will also indemnify the landlord for damage caused by the installation of Verizon’s facilities. Verizon’s policy is to work with you to arrange convenient dates for access and to reach agreement on engineering plans / designs for the Property. Please contact Verizon’s NYC FiOS Real Estate Cover-Ltr2-20150526F 1 USPS Tracking No. : 92071969009997901714889750 Department at (888) 364-3467 within two weeks of receipt of this letter so that we may move forward with the process of bringing FiOS to your Property and/or other properties on your block.

If you believe that Verizon’s installation of cable television facilities constitutes an undue “taking” of your Property, you may file a petition for “just compensation” with the New York State Public Service Commission under the procedures set forth in Section 228 of the New York Public Service Law and Part 898, Title 16 of the NYCRR. Please note, however, that the filing of such a petition does not delay Verizon’s right to access your Property. The complete text of Section 228 may be found on the enclosed copy of the notice of Verizon’s intention to survey/install/upgrade cable television facilities and service.

If we do not hear from you within two weeks as mentioned above, Verizon’s Legal Department may be forced to file a Petition for Order of Entry to the New York State Public Service Commission, after which you will be afforded, per 16 NYCRR 898.4(b)(9), twenty days to answer the Petition and set forth any additional matter not contained in the Petition. The Petition will seek an order granting Verizon the right to survey for and/or install/upgrade cable television facilities and service at your Property. If you have specific legal questions about Verizon’s rights under New York law or Verizon’s Cable Franchise Agreement, we recommend that you engage an attorney. You may also contact Michael Morano, Assistant General Counsel for Verizon’s National Operations, at (908) 559-3332 to discuss legal issues or questions, but please be advised that he represents Verizon and cannot provide you with legal advice.

Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Alyson Seigal Manager, FiOS Franchise Assurance – New York City
