  • Gramercy Park Overview: Trustees of Gramercy Park, Gramercy Park Block Association
    Gramercy Park Overview: Trustees of Gramercy Park, Gramercy Park Block Association Trustees of Gramercy Park Gramercy Park is a private ornamental park and surrounding residential district created in 1831 under a deed established by Samuel B. Ruggles, who vested the title to the Park in the Trustees. Mr. Ruggles granted the owners of surrounding residential lots and all subsequent owners “the right and privilege to frequent, use, and enjoy the Park as an easement to their respective lots.” The Park is managed by the “Park Trust” which consists of five lifetime Trustees. The conditions of Ruggles’ original 1831 deed still govern the Park today. Its provisions include an annual assessment imposed on each of the Lots to cover annual operating expenses and capital improvement projects. Park keys are annually provided to the owners of each of the surrounding Lots. The buildings on the Park have between 1-4 lots based on their Park frontage. The budget includes maintenance, payroll, security, administrative services, community relations, public relations, Park operations, events, professional fees, horticultural plants and bulbs, tree/shrub planting and care, supplies, repairs and/or restoration of the following: sidewalks, monuments, sprinkler system, equipment, benches, etc. The Gramercy Park Block Association Mr. Ruggles could not have imagined that his small residential community of Lot owners would eventually be home to over 2,000 residents. Nor could he have envisioned that Gramercy Park would be at the center of some of the densest neighborhoods and most desirable real estate in the world. The Gramercy Park Block Association organizes the community to fight battles to keep the Park private, and the surrounding lots residential.

  • “We Just Need to Go Egypt on Their Ass!” the Articulation of Labor and Community Organizing in New York City with Occupy Wall Street
    “We just need to go Egypt on their ass!” The Articulation of Labor and Community Organizing in New York City with Occupy Wall Street John Krinsky and Paul Getsos DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE BEYOND THE WORKSHOP b/c no citations Introduction Most of the people who marched down Broadway on the afternoon of September 17, eventually claiming Zuccotti Park and renaming it Liberty Square, practice activism as opposed to base- building campaign organizing. The difference between these two approaches to social justice work is a crucial one for understanding the tensions and potentials in Occupy Wall Street, and for distinguishing the core of Occupy from the more institutional left, comprised of established labor unions and community-based economic justice organizations. Occupiers focus on direct action and tactics whose aim is to raise awareness about an issue, or to challenge the state and corporate power (most usually by challenging the police or by claiming and occupying both public and private space). The institutional left focuses on building issue-oriented campaigns and leadership development among communities directly and adversely impacted by economic inequality in order to deliver tangible results. One of the things that makes Occupy unusual is that it is one of the few times outside of the global justice demonstrations in Seattle and work around the party conventions, that groups which practice the discipline of organizing worked with activists. Even more unusual is that organizers and activists have worked together over a sustained period of time and have moved from issue to issue and campaign to campaign. Some are very localized, such as work against stop-and-frisk policing in the South Bronx where Occupy Wall Street works with local neighborhood activists, to the Bank of America Campaign, where Occupy Wall Street activists are part of a national campaign where partners include the community organizing network National People’s Action and the faith-based federation of community organizations, PICO.

Preventing illness requires people making healthy life choices, From neighborhood resources that promote healthy living, and high-quality, accessible medical care. the New York City is the most diverse city in the U.S. This is reflected in the unique character of each neighborhood.

  • Socioeconomic Conditions
    One Police Plaza Security Plan EIS CHAPTER 4: SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS A. INTRODUCTION This chapter examines the potential effects of the action on socioeconomic conditions in the study area, including population and housing characteristics, economic activity, and the real estate market. As described in Chapter 1, ‘Project Description’, the action is the maintenance of the security plan implemented at One Police Plaza and surrounding roadways following the events of September 11, 2001. The security plan resulted in the installation of attended security checkpoint booths, planters, bollards and hydraulically operated delta barriers to restrict the access of unauthorized vehicles from the roadways situated adjacent to the civic facilities located near One Police Plaza. The barriers were installed by the NYPD, with the exception of the barriers located at Park Row at Foley Square and at Pearl Street on the west side of Park Row, which were installed by the USMS. In accordance with the guidelines presented in the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, this chapter evaluates five specific factors that could create significant socioeconomic impacts in an area, including: (1) direct displacement of residential population; (2) direct displacement of existing businesses; (3) indirect displacement of residential population; (4) indirect displacement of businesses; and (5) adverse effects on specific industries not necessarily tied to a project site or area. This analysis begins with a preliminary assessment for each specific issue of concern. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, the goal of a preliminary assessment is to discern the effects of a proposed project or action for the purposes of either eliminating the potential for significant impacts or determining that a more detailed analysis is necessary to answer the question regarding potential impacts.

  • FIRST QUARTER 2016 Manhattan Market Overview
    FIRST QUARTER 2016 Manhattan Market Overview Partnership. Performance. avisonyoung.com New Jersey Ofce Market MonitorFIRST QUARTER 2016 Partnership. Performance. With 2016 being one-quarter over, we present you with our First Quarter 2016 Manhattan Market Overview. Included inside are Avison Young’s insights on ofce leasing, investment sales, debt & equity, valuation & advisory and retail activity. Please note that with respect to our ofce leasing market data, we have now consolidated our submarkets. As such, the number of submarkets included within each major Manhattan market has been refned and now comprises six areas for Midtown (down from nine), four for Midtown South (down from six) and Downtown remains at three. We have provided descriptions of the markets and submarkets in the “About the Market” section at the end of this report. Regarding overall activity for the frst quarter, despite seeing some signs of year-over-year softness due in part to the global volatility experienced in the beginning of the quarter, the Manhattan market has held up favorably. With respect to ofce leasing, it is the fnancial services and TAMI tenants that are driving much of the growth. However, we are mindful that tenants of all types remain focused on value, while having access to suitable amenities attractive to their business and workforce. With respect to investment sales activity, coming of the heels of a record transaction year, there are some signs that we are starting to see a change in sentiment as investors and market participants take a cautious stance and are hesitant to match the pricing that was commonplace six months ago.
