However, I, being a member of CB6, was in the minority that liked the plan. After, a number of meetings between CB6 and the Depart- ment of City Planning, adjustments have been made, which resulted in the DCP approving the revised plan. However, some members of the LU&W Committee still did not like the plan, and had the opinion that the DCP did not follow the law in approving the revised plan. They wanted to invoke an Article 78 against the DCP. Winter wreaths in Murray Hill What is an Article 78 Proceeding? An Article 78 proceeding is used to appeal the decision of a New York State or local agency to the New York courts. The LU&W Committee passed a resolution by a vote of 7 to 6 to request the DCP to withdraw its approval of the modi- fied plan for the Rivergate plaza. I am happy to write that the Committee’s resolution was defeated at a full board meeting of Community Board Six, by a vote of 17 to 11 with 2 ab- stentions. With that last obstacle out of the way, the revised modification to the Rivergate Plaza can proceed, hopefully this winter or early next year. There is a proposed new 65-story (700 foot tall) slender (1,800 sq. ft. footprint) condo tower, designed by Perkins+Will, to be located at 12 or 8 East 37th Street. A Turkish firm Nef (part of Timur Holding) has yet to file plans with the De- partment of Buildings, but hope to start construction to be completed by 2017.

  • Maria Torres-Springer Commissioner NYC Housing Preservation & Development 100 Gold Street New York, NY 10038 Dear Commission
    THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK Maria Torres-Springer Commissioner NYC Housing Preservation & Development 100 Gold Street New York, NY 10038 Dear Commissioner Ms. Torres-Springer: As members of the Manhattan Delegation in the New York City Council, we write to express our concerns with several stipulations outlined in the proposed Regulatory Agreement (“RA”) for Housing Development Fund Corporation (HDFC) cooperatives, but more importantly with a process that was fast-tracked and not-inclusive. The Borough of Manhattan is home to roughly 34,000 HDFC cooperative units which for decades have provided a stable path towards economic security for low-and-middle income New Yorkers. While we appreciate the goal of the Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) to assist HDFCs when they are in financial distress, hundreds of HDFC shareholders expressed to us their serious concerns about the terms of this RA. Furthermore, all HDFC stakeholders reported to us their concerns about not being consulted prior to the release of the RA and their frustration at not having a mechanism to voice their concerns. Specifically, our HDFC cooperative owners are concerned that the RA appears to be a one- size-fit all policy, regardless of the financial stability of the HDFC cooperative. They are concerned that thousands of HDFCs could lose their Division of Alternative Management real estate deduction that they relied on having until calendar year 2029 and will not be eligible for any tax subsidies if they opt not to sign the proposed RA. Also, some cooperators expressed concern that if additional restrictions are put in place that it will limit a stakeholders’ ability to leverage their HDFC, they are concerned that many working families and individuals will be unable to obtain a needed mortgage from a bank.

In the course of my work as a legislator and a member of the Subcommittee, I must say that I’ve rarely disagreed with decisions of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). However, during my 2014-2017 legislative term, I’ve been alarmed by certain LPC proposals that imply that public input is not important to the agency. I am of the opinion that LPC, as an institution, values public input from building owners, community residents and advocates. Consequently, I am confused as to why the LPC would enact rules or policies that would effectively restrict or completely eliminate the opportunity for public input on the designation of proposed historic districts, as well as the landmarking of buildings.
