Prendergast Interim Executive Director; Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Nominee The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is North America’s largest transportation network, serving a population of 14.9 million people in the 5,000-square-mile area fanning out from New York City through Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. It drives the New York regional economy by providing countless job opportunities for millions. After work, the network enables commuters to get to leisure activities: music, theater, cultural events, sports, and shopping more varied than anywhere in the country. MTA subways, buses, and railroads provide 2.63 billion trips each year to New Yorkers – the equivalent of about one in every three users of mass transit in the United States and two-thirds of the nation’s rail riders. MTA bridges and tunnels carry nearly 300 million vehicles a year – more than any bridge and tunnel authority in the nation. In the days leading up to, and months following Superstorm Sandy, the authority worked closely with the Governor’s office, the Mayor’s office, and State and local Offices of Emergency Management to prepare for the storm and respond in a coordinated manner. The authority took extensive steps to protect assets prior to the arrival of Sandy and worked quickly to restore operations in the storm’s aftermath. Inspectors assessed damage to support immediate service restoration and identification of capital recovery needs. Most subway and commuter rail services were progressively reopened within the first week following the storm. “Bus bridges” shuttled customers between Manhattan and Brooklyn while initial subway service was being restored. Over the past two decades, the MTA has committed some $72 billion to restore and improve the network so that today it runs at unprecedented levels of efficiency. The authority is continuing its rebuilding and improvement efforts through the 2010-2014 Capital Program and has committed significant resources to the first substantial expansion of the network in 60 years, including Long Island Rail Road access to Grand Central, the first segment of a full-length Second Avenue subway, and the extension of the Number 7 line west from Times Square to the Javits Center. Superstorm Sandy was an unprecedented natural disaster for the region. Employees at all MTA agencies worked diligently to restore and maintain high service and safety standards. It is for these reasons the MTA, under the leadership of Thomas F. Prendergast, is being given Special Recognition and enthusiastic appreciation by the New York Building Congress. 7 T HE C ITY OF N EW Y ORK O FFICE OF THE M AYOR N EW Y ORK, NY 10007 May 15, 2013 Dear Friends: It is a pleasure to welcome everyone as the venerable New York Building Congress hosts its 92nd Anniversary Leadership Awards Luncheon.

On behalf of all New Yorkers, congratulations to today’s honorees: Dr. Steven J. Corwin, Mary Ann Tighe, and Tom Prendergast and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Please accept my best wishes for continued success and a terrific luncheon. Sincerely, Michael R.

  • Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION As defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is considered to be a combination of the many elements that creates each neighborhood’s distinct personality. These elements include land use, urban design, visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomics, traffic, and noise, as well as the other physical or social characteristics that help to describe the community. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an assessment of neighborhood character is generally needed when the action would exceed preliminary thresholds in any one of the following areas of technical analysis: land use, urban design and visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomic conditions, transportation, or noise. An assessment is also appropriate when the action would have moderate effects on several of the aforementioned areas. Potential effects on neighborhood character may include: • Land Use. Development resulting from a proposed action could alter neighborhood character if it introduced new land uses, conflicts with land use policy or other public plans for the area, changes land use character, or generates significant land use impacts. • Socioeconomic Conditions. Changes in socioeconomic conditions have the potential to affect neighborhood character when they result in substantial direct or indirect displacement or addition of population, employment, or businesses; or substantial differences in population or employment density. • Historic Resources. When an action would result in substantial direct changes to a historic resource or substantial changes to public views of a resource, or when a historic resource analysis identified a significant impact in this category, there is a potential to affect neighborhood character. • Urban Design and Visual Resources.

  • Cost $166-Million
    THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION November 13, 2011 Cooper Union, Bastion of Free Arts Education for the Deserving, Mulls Tuition By Scott Carlson *Jamshed Bharucha, Cooper Union's new president, stands in front of a statue of Peter Cooper, the wealthy philanthropist for whom the college was named. Last year Cooper Union ran a budget deficit of about 27 percent. Mark Abramson for The Chronicle The last time Cooper Union charged tuition to a full-time student was in 1902. Around then, Andrew Carnegie gave the college a gift that would allow it to meet the wish of its founder to make education as "free as air and water," as Peter Cooper had put it. Students here—in the college's well-known programs in the arts, engineering, and architecture—are selected based on talent and promise, not on what they can pay. At a time when tuition at some colleges has reached stratospheric amounts, Cooper Union's cherished and lofty educational ethic is quite unusual in academe. And it is also endangered. On Halloween night here in the East Village, Cooper Union's students gathered to hear Jamshed Bharucha, who has been president for merely four months, lay out some staggering facts about the institution's finances: For years, the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art has been burning through the unrestricted part of its endowment to cover shortfalls in its budget, and his administration predicts that the cushion will be gone in two to three years. Cooper Union's new academic building, designed by the star architect Thom Mayne, is a landmark—and cost $166- million.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 1 ST QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 915 Broadway Looking Ahead Finance Department’s Tentative Assessment Roll Takes High Retail Rents into Account Consumers are not the only ones attracted by the luxury offerings along the city’s prime 5th Avenue retail corridor between 48th and 59th Streets where activity has raised retail rents. The city’s Department of Finance is getting in on the action, prompting the agency to increase tax assessments on some of the high-profi le properties. A tentative tax roll released last month for the 2016-2017 tax year brings the total market value of New York City’s real estate to over $1 trillion — reportedly for the fi rst time. The overall taxable assessed values for the city would increase 8.10%. Brooklyn’s assessed values accounted for the sharpest rise of 9.83% from FY 2015/2016, followed by Manhattan’s 8.47% increase. Although some properties along the 5th Avenue corridor had a reduction in valuations the properties were primarily offi ce, not retail according to a reported analysis of the tentative tax roll details. Building owners have the opportunity to appeal the increase; but an unexpected rise in market value — and hence real estate taxes, will negatively impact the building’s bottom line and value. Typically tenants incur the burden of most of the tax increases from the time the lease is signed, and the landlord pays the taxes that existed before the signing; but in some cases the tenant increase in capped, leaving the burden of the additional expense on the landlord.
