    PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY BROWNFIELD PLANNING FOUNDATION REPORT ON EXISTING CONDITIONS EAST HARLEM, MANHATTAN FINAL SEPTEMBER 2016 BILL deBLASIO MAYOR DANIEL C. WALSH, Ph.D. DIRECTOR Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation This document was prepared by the New York City Department of City Planning for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation and the New York State Department of State with state funds provided through the Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program. CONTENTS PURPOSE 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 PART ONE Geography and Land Use 10 Demographic and Economic Profile 28 Recent Public Initiatives and Private Investments 35 PART TWO Environmental Conditions 41 Potential Strategic Sites 43 KEY FINDINGS AND NEXT STEPS 57 APPENDIX 58 PURPOSE This existing conditions foundation report was commissioned by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) to help community members and community-based organizations (CBO’s) conduct place-based planning for revitalization of vacant and underutilized brownfield properties. Place- based planning by community groups is supported by OER under the NYC Place-Based Community Brownfield Planning Program and by the New York State Department of State in the Brownfield Opportunity Area Program. To advance implementation of plans, OER provides financial and technical assistance to CBO’s for cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield properties and seeks to help people foster greater health and well-being in their neighborhoods. Brownfields are vacant or underutilized properties where environmental pollution has deterred investment and redevelopment. Pollution introduces many risks to land development and often causes community and private developers to pass over these properties, especially in low-income neighborhoods where land values may be depressed and insufficient to cover added cleanup costs.

  • 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.
