Marte opens public hearing on East Harlem/El Barrio Article XI Amendment
Marte opens the pre-considered LU item for HPD's amendment to Resolution 946 (2019) for the East Harlem/El Barrio CLT project, changing commercial spaces to community facility spaces across four buildings in Council Districts 8 and 9, and introduces the HPD panel.
I now open a public hearing for the pre-consider L.U.
Item for an application brought by New York City Housing Preservation and Development for East Harlem, El Barrio, Article 11 Amendment, an amendment to a prior resolution, Resolution No.
946, approved in 2019 for an Article 11 tax exemption pursuant to the Section 577 of the Private Housing Finance Law.
While the original project required the rehabilitation of approximately 36 rental units and two commercial spaces and one community facility space,
the amendment version would include three community facility spaces instead of the mix of commercial and community spaces.
Otherwise, the amended project is the same as the original project.
The project is located in Councilmember Encarnación and Councilmember Salam's district in Harlem.
Appearing today on this proposal is Justin Dolan, Anna Driscoll, and Ariel Rawlings.
Those wishing to testify remotely must register online by visiting the council website at council.nyc.gov slash land use.
Panelists, please ensure your microphones are on.
