HPD should then work in good faith with the residents of Fulton Houses, the Chelsea community, Community Board 4 and local elected officials to develop a suitable proposal for the site, consistent with HPD’s long-standing promises to the community. The team at HPD who developed the plan and chose how to present it needs to be re-examined, and a new developer should be selected. HPD’s plan to rip out a playground and community garden to build a parking lot, and the fact that this plan was developed and certified for ULURP without any notice to or consultation with the community has quickly generated a high degree of anger and distrust among the community and its leaders. At the community meeting held last night about the project, HPD, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and the developer succeeded in heightening that level of anger and distrust, which I had not thought was possible.

    Dear Community Partners, “Challenging” seems both an accurate and yet inadequate word to describe the last year as we confronted - as a nation and as a community - a series of crises from public health and economic dislocation to reckonings over racial justice and equity. Through it all, the Union Square Partnership played an important role in seeking to keep residents and businesses informed and connected, guiding them to resources, and working with relevant city agencies to support the district. What started as a COVID response turned to a COVID recovery agenda and by the fall of 2020, we released the #USQNext District Recovery Plan. This plan was aimed at accelerating the resumption of business activity and introducing quality of life improvements to continue the upward trend the neighborhood was enjoying prior to the pandemic. UNION SQUARE-14TH STREET HAS DEMONSTRATED INCREDIBLE RESILIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND THE DISTRICT IS WELL-POSITIONED TO REBOUND This year’s Annual Report is organized around the five pillars of the recovery plan, including reemphasizing core services like sanitation, beautification, and public safety coordination, bolstering our marketing efforts, and pursuing exciting new projects in the bold District Vision Plan released this past January. Most important, we would like to take a moment to express gratitude for the tireless dedication of frontline workers and essential service providers who kept our city functioning and to acknowledge the loss of loved ones that has affected so many. We hold each of you in our hearts. We are committed to championing the district’s recovery With spring blooming in our area, vaccinations on the rise, and life through the vital programs outlined in our #USQNext District Recovery Plan.

    UNITED STATES DISTRIC COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK -----------------------------------------------------------------X CAROL DEMECH, LAURIE SOLIS, and ANA FRANCO, 12 CIV 6179 Plaintiff, -against- COMPLAINT JOHN B. RHEA, as Chairman of the New York City Housing Authority, and the NEW YORK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY, Defendants. -----------------------------------------------------------------X Plaintiffs Carol Demech (“Ms. Demech”), Laurie Solis (“Ms. Solis”) and Ana Franco (“Ms. Franco”) by and through their attorneys, allege as follows: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This is an action for declaratory and injunctive relief as well as compensatory and punitive damages under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq. (“ADA”), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794, et seq. (“Rehabilitation Act”), and the New York City Human Rights Law, N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8- 101 et. seq. (“NYCHRL”). 2. This action is being filed to stop discrimination on the basis of disability by the New York City Housing Authority (“NYCHA”). Two of the Plaintiffs are elderly and all suffer from physical disabilities that impair their ability to walk. Ms. Solis and Ms. Franco use wheelchairs or motorized scooters when traveling outside of their homes. Ms. Demech uses a rolling walker or, at times, a wheelchair, to leave her home. 1 3. Plaintiffs reside in The Fulton Houses, a development managed and operated by NYCHA. The entrance to Plaintiffs’ building in The Fulton Houses is not accessible. Although there is a ramp at the entrance, the ramp is too steep, and it is not accessible to or safely usable by Plaintiffs. The ramp’s steep incline and other design flaws prevent Plaintiffs and other tenants of the building who need an accessible entrance from safely utilizing it.
