Q&A

Council Member Narcisse asks about flood plan and affordable housing applications in CB18

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 1:28:54 · 58 sec

She asks about the 2080 flood plan, whether DEP, DOB, DOE were consulted, and how many affordable housing applications were proposed in CB18 in the last five years.

Mercedes Narcisse

In the 2080 flood plan, where we have homes that routinely flood after storms, and we are even sinking without asking DEP about sewers, DOB

Mercedes Narcisse

about feasibility, or DOE about the school seat and everything else I include.

Mercedes Narcisse

That's one.

Mercedes Narcisse

In the last five years, how many affordable housing applications in CB18 did the council vote down?

Mercedes Narcisse

And it's zero.

Mercedes Narcisse

I can answer that, but you can continue answering it.

Mercedes Narcisse

So I want to know what's the problem.

Mercedes Narcisse

How many affordable housing projects were proposed in CB18 in the last five years that HPD or private developers?

Mercedes Narcisse

I think nothing has been filed because I want to know if it's because finances, if it was for the land desire, because we have not received any really.

Mercedes Narcisse

So you can answer.

Mercedes Narcisse

Thank you.
