Community Board 7 is now among the groups supporting a move to rename a street after the late Andrew Sandler, who died in August after serving a year and a half as the board’s district manager.

At its general board meeting, CB7 members unanimously approved a letter of support to be sent to Councilman Andrew Cohen backing a proposal to rename a street after Sandler. Supporters want the street renaming to happen in the vicinity of 238th Street and Waldo Avenue, the Riverdale streets where Sandler was raised.

Community Board 8, the local board which covers the neighborhood Sandler grew up in, had already sent its letter of support to Cohen. Usually, CB8 waits two years after someone has passed to make a request for a street renaming, though they’ve made an exception this time.

The request will go to the New York City Council, which pools its requests of street renamings under one bill. They are usually voted on in December and take effect in the spring should the mayor approve it. A ceremony often takes place to unveil the street renaming.

City rules don’t require letters of support for a street renaming. The letters help build traction for support of such request. Cohen and Sandler shared a working relationship when Sandler was Cohen’s director of constituent services before moving on as the CB7 district manager. The board covers Norwood, Bedford Park, KIngsbridge Heights, Fordham and University Heights.

Sandler was admired for his commitment to the helping the community. He died on Aug. 5 from cancer. He was 31. His funeral was attended by several hundred people.
