Chair Ung Q&A: Mangin on enforcement of BSA conditions and annual reports

New York City Council · Sep 1, 2026 · starts 1:44:51 · 41 sec

Ung asks about monitoring enforcement of BSA conditions and publishing annual reports comparing community board recommendations to final decisions. Mangin says approvals are recorded against properties but he needs to learn more about enforcement. He declines to commit to annual reports at this time.

Sandra Ung

Thank you.
