Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) 1 “I have long been concerned about the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) ability to provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to our communities. I often hear from my constituents their concerns and frustrations with longer wait times, reduced staff and language barriers when visiting local post offices… Innovation leads to success and reliable service is essential to ensuring residents can fully utilize the important benefits provided by the USPS.” – Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) Table of Contents Introduction 3 Top five complaints 4 Complaints and demographics by neighborhood 5 Specific problematic incidents and concerns 10 Suggestions for improvement 12 Conclusion 14 Photographs 15 Post Office addresses 16 2 UNITED STATES POST OFFICE RESEARCH REPORT An in-depth report of post offices servicing the neighborhoods of Harlem, East Harlem, northern Manhattan and the north-west Bronx Introduction The United States Postal Service is an independent agency of the federal government, which was established by Article 1. Section 8 Clause 7 in the U.S. Constitution, to provide postal service across all regions of the United States. As the title of this report indicates, there is room for the USPS to improve their customer service processes. When constituents submit complaints to my offices, they are often related to a substandard experience and customer service programs at our local USPS offices.

    'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron to Sign at Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Taryn Duffy 914-457-2431 [email protected] John Cirillo 914-260-7436 [email protected] 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron To Sign At Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader October 19, 2012 – In 1973, young Ray Negron's life changed forever when, while spray painting graffiti on the outside of Yankee Stadium, he was caught by none other than Principal Owner George Steinbrenner. Rather than turn in the 18- year-old Queens youth to police, the Boss gave Ray a job as Yankees batboy, to pay off the cost of the damages. Given the second chance, Negron thrived. Now he tells his amazing story, which includes close friendships with some of the game's greatest stars and personalities (Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and Billy Martin, to name a few) as well as a career as a community leader and Yankees advisor, in his new book Yankee Miracles, which recently reached the top spot for both new biographies and baseball books on the Amazon.com list. On Monday, November 5, Negron will meet fans, pose for photographs and sign copies of Yankee Miracles at Empire City Casino (810 Yonkers Ave., Yonkers, N.Y.) from 6-7 p.m., open to the public. Then from 7-9 p.m. he will conduct a special reading and Q&A session at an elite dinner event in the casino's Good Time Room. The antithesis of Ball Four or The Bronx Zoo in tone, Yankee Miracles does not dwell on steroids, drug use, or scandals, but creates a portrait of baseball that is unapologetically affectionate told by someone, a baseball insider, who was given a very unique second chance.
