Minnesota 55402-4012 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Minneapolis Field Office 920 Second Avenue South, Suite 1300 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402-4012 As requested, enclosed are lists of HUD Affordable Rental Housing in your requested area. The amount and type of assistance may vary per building but the majority of the buildings have Project-Based Section 8 subsidy, where the tenant pays 30% of their adjusted gross monthly income for rent. The difference between the amounts paid by the resident and the rent charged by the owner is paid by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Although HUD provides the funding, the responsibility for operating the program rests with the site manager. After selecting a building(s) from the list, please contact the on-site manager from the phone number(s) provided. They can answer questions regarding your eligibility and the availability of units, as each site maintains its own waiting list and takes your application. The list shows the number of units in the building as well as the population they are designated to serve. Rent: Generally, a HUD affordable housing tenant pays 10 percent of gross income or 30 percent of adjusted income, WHICHEVER IS HIGHER, but not less than $25, for rent including utilities. HUD pays the difference between the tenant's share and the regular rental to the owner as housing assistance. If utilities are designated to be paid by the resident, a utility allowance is subtracted in determining the actual rent paid to the project. Utilities are then paid by the tenant directly to the utility company as billed. Waiting Lists: A Public Housing Authority (PHA) is responsible for establishing an application and selection process that treats applicants fairly and consistently and provides an effective method for determining eligibility. The design of these processes must result in consistent determinations as to which applicants should be placed on the waiting list, issued a voucher, or determined ineligible to participate in the program and comply with HUD rules on non-discrimination. Conducting outreach, as needed, and maintaining an up-to-date waiting list is an important PHA responsibility.

The housing choice voucher program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects. Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies(PHAs).

  • STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57T1i Street (Aka 106-116 West 58L" Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 13, 2001, Designation List 331 LP-2100 STEINWAY HALL, 109-113 West 57t1i Street (aka 106-116 West 58l" Street), Manhattan. Built 1924-25; [Whitney] Warren & [Charles D.] Wetmore, architects; Thompson-Starrett Co., builders. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1010, Lot 25. October 16, 2001 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Steinway Hall and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions oflaw. Eight people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the property's owners, Community Board 5, Municipal Art Society, American Institute of Architects' Historic Buildings Committee, and Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission received two letters in support of designation, including one from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Summary The sixteen-story Steinway Hall was constructed in 1924-25 to the design of architects Warren & Wetmore for Steinway & Sons, a piano manufacturing firm that has been a dominant force in its industry since the 1860s. Founded in 1853 in New York by Heinrich E. Steinweg, Sr., the firm grew to worldwide renown and prestige through technical innovations, efficient production, business acumen, and shrewd promotion using artists' endorsements. From 1864 to 1925, Steinway's offices/showroom, and famous Steinway Hall (1866), were located near Union Square. After Carnegie Hall opened in 1891, West 57t1i Street gradually became one of the nation's leading cultural and classical music centers and the piano companies relocated uptown. It was not until 1923, however, that Steinway acquired a 57th Street site.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

Built 1896-97, Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz, architect; annex 1905-06, [Cyrus L.W.] Eidlitz & [Andrew C.] McKenzie, architect; ground-story alteration 1918, Arnold W. Brunner, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1028, Lot 42. On March 18, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Society House of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was continued to April 15, 2008 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Two people spoke in favor of designation: representatives of the Historic Districts Council and Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America. A representative of the building’s owner indicated that they did not oppose designation, but wanted regulation to be limited to the front facade. In addition, the Commission received a resolution from Manhattan Community Board 5 and a letter from State Senator Liz Krueger in support of designation. Summary Built in 1896-97 to the French Renaissance Revival style design of architect Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz, the Society House of the American Society of Civil Engineers was the headquarters of the organization founded in 1852. As the engineering profession grew rapidly in the 19th century and its membership increased, ASCE needed a new building, said to be the first such project for a professional American engineering society.

  • OSBORNE APARTMENTS 205 West 57Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission August 13, 1991; Designation List 238 LP-1770 OSBORNE APARTMENTS 205 West 57th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1883-1885, 1889; architect, James Edward Ware; 1906, architect, Alfred S.G. Taylor. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 1029, Lot 27. On December 12, 1989, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Osborne Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 34). The hearing was continued to April 3, 1990 (Item No. 25), and then to July 10, 1990 (Item No. 5). All three hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of seven witnesses at the three hearings spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses were opposed to designation. The Commission received numerous letters both in support of and in opposition to designation. The Board of Directors of the Osborne Apartments has expressed support for the designation.1 DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Osborne Apartments, built in 1883-85 and designed by the talented and prolific architect James E. Ware, was one of the earliest luxury apartment buildings in New York City. Constructed in what by 1890 had become New York's first apartment house district, near Central Park, this architecturally-impressive building is a rare surviving example of the original development in this city of multi-family dwellings for well-to-do residents, an increasingly important building type in the 1880s. The Osborne's design draws elements from the popular Romanesque Revival style, such as the heavy, rusticated stone exterior with deeply set windows, for a sense of solidity; these are combined in a bold and original manner with the refinement, proportions, and strong horizontality of the emerging Renaissance Revival style.

The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were six speakers in support of designation, including the owner of the building, representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and the Historic Districts Council. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. In addition, the Commission has received letters from Assemblyman Richard N. Gottfried and from Community Board 5 in support of designation. Summary Built in 1907-08 to provide living and working facilities for artists, the studio building at 130 West 57th Street is a rare surviving example of this unusual building type, and a reminder of the early twentieth century period when West 57th Street was a center of artistic activities. Designed by architects Pollard & Steinam, who had previously created several artists’ studio cooperatives on West 67th Street, this building profited from the experience of the developers and builders who had worked on the earlier structures. The artists’ studio building type was developed early in the twentieth century, and was an important step toward the acceptance of apartment living for wealthy New Yorkers.
