AI Summary
This bill requires the New York City Fire Commissioner to obtain a written request, including an environmental impact statement, and undergo review by community boards, borough presidents, and the City Council before permanently closing any firehouses or removing/relocating any fire-fighting units. This is intended to provide more oversight and community input on any proposed reductions in fire services. The bill also requires the Commissioner to issue another written request if the closure, removal, or relocation does not occur within four months of the initial approval.
