Q&A

Council Member Thomas-Henry asks for pipeline numbers; Chair Sherman to follow up

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 1:02:10 · 54 sec

She asks how many approved projects are in the pipeline; Garodnick says he doesn't have the number offhand but will get it, noting most housing is as-of-right.

Shanel Thomas-Henry

And do you guys know how many approved projects are in the pipeline?

Dan Garodnick

So I don't have offhand everything that's in at least the DCP pipeline for approval.

Dan Garodnick

We certainly can get that for you.

Dan Garodnick

But I would just note that, as I shared earlier, the vast majority of housing that's being produced in the city is also happening as of right.

Dan Garodnick

There's housing that never comes before DCP or the commission.

Dan Garodnick

And this is why the point that I raised around us also as a planning agency that also has a demography team, right, that's focused on New York City's growth overall,

Dan Garodnick

working more closely with our capital agencies to anticipate needs, even for growth that is not necessarily being facilitated through zoning.

Dan Garodnick

But we can certainly get that for you.

Dan Garodnick

I know in our analysis of the fast-track neighborhoods, we certainly have what was produced in the last year.

Dan Garodnick

We can share that and then give you a sense of what we understand right now from D.O.

Dan Garodnick

be permitted housing approvals.

Dan Garodnick

Thank you.
