Battalion 7 to Manhattan. Battalion 7. Box 634, we're going to go with an 18 for a 10-40 code 4 with an updated corrected address of 253 West 26th Street. We checked out the premises, there's no hits on the meters, no condition in the building. However, there is a steam condition coming out of a grate where ConEd had been previously working. If you could just update them on that. Battalion 7 is going to go 10-8, units are in the process. Battalion 7 is going to go 10-8, units are in the process.
