Community Board 13, which represents the neighborhood of Coney Island, lodged a complaint concerning the plan of New York City to house some of the migrants arriving in the Sandra Feldman Gymnasium at 2818 West 35th Street. The gym is part of Public School 188, located at 3314 Neptune Avenue.

The Community Board reported that they were given no advance notice plan by any city agency, and they had been attempting to receive even the most basic information without success.

Some of the inquiries that CB-13 has concerns the amount of people the city plans to house there, the length of time they are to remain there, if they have been screened for diseases and if there is a plan in lace to provide them with services.

In protesting the way the city handled this proposal, CB-13 insisted to be informed about the process and to be part of the discussion in implementing it.
