AI Summary
This bill requires the New York City Fire Commissioner to obtain written approval, including an environmental impact statement, from community boards, borough presidents, and the city council before permanently closing any firehouses or removing/relocating any fire-fighting units. The bill also establishes a review process, where community boards and borough presidents have 30 days to review the proposal, and the city council must approve it by a majority vote (or a two-thirds majority if all affected boards/presidents oppose it). The bill aims to ensure that any proposed reductions in fire services undergo a thorough evaluation and community input process before being implemented.
