Meanwhile, Mayor Mike sure pegged UN Headquarters this week. He says it’s no place for children, and he’s absolutely correct.
And not just because of all the corrupt bureaucrats and despot-appeasers roaming the halls, either.
The building itself is a hazard.
Mike on Tuesday suspended all public-school tours of the structure, making good on a threat he leveled last year after a safety inspection – the first since 1952 – found fully 866 fire-code violations.
Since then, the UN has reneged on its promises to install even basic safeguards like fire doors.
So Hizzoner’s to be commended for shielding schoolchildren from a firetrap.
But kids aren’t the only concern.
After all, it’s not just tour groups that are at risk thanks to UN negligence. City firefighters, for one, would likely be faced with a rapidly spreading inferno if fire ever broke out.
And, thanks to the UN’s diplomatic immunity, deep-pocketed New Yorkers – probably the city itself – would be the first to face whatever litigation would follow such a blaze.
So here’s a solution: Mayor Mike should call up Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and say, in no uncertain terms: You’re on your own.
Want to flout New York fire codes?
Put out your own fires.
And if you don’t like that – then feel free to find another city.
After all, the Turtle Bay site would be perfect for a building full of property-tax-revenue-pumping luxury condos.
