Dozens of business owners gathered Tuesday mere blocks away from where a fire destroyed their livelihood.

They are hoping to get any help from any avenue to get their businesses back up and running.

A five-alarm fire broke out at 40-10 Main Street in Flushing on Thursday and the damage is so severe that the business owners still cannot go inside, according to an FDNY official.

Council Member Sandra Ung represents the area and organized a forum Tuesday night at the Glow Community Center.

“This community, I feel like you’re the last — because this is largely an immigrant community — to know what’s going on with city agencies,” Ung said.

Several city agencies attended the forum, with representatives speaking both English and Chinese.

Tim Ln has owned a 99 cent store for more than seven years. He’s afraid to see what remains.

“This is everything for my life. Life for my family,” said Ln, who has two children.

Ln does not have insurance. Only a few of the dozens of business owners in attendance raised their hands when asked if they had insurance.

City officials said they would still try to help them, but that it is easier when businesses have insurance.

Ung said that’s why she was pleased nonprofits showed up and can assist, too.

Renaissance Economic Development Corporation is a nonprofit that specifically helps low and middle-income communities, as well as immigrant communities, with their businesses. They launched a $1 million emergency loan fund for the victims of this fire.

Businesses can get a maximum of $50,000 for a loan at a two percent interest rate.

“This at least helps them clean up business and get their doors back open,” said Jessie Lee, the managing director at Renaissance Economic Development Corporation.

Later this week, city officials, including from FDNY and DEP, will meet about next steps for the building.

At the forum, a DEP official said they found asbestos in the building.
