Notice Details

Pursuant to Article 15 of the General Municipal Law ("GML") and Section 1802(6)(j) of the Charter, notice is hereby given that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development ("HPD") of the City of New York ("City") has proposed the sale of certain real property in the East New York I Urban Renewal Area ("Area") to HELP Woodycrest Housing Development Fund Corporation, the sponsor designated by HPD ("Sponsor"), for redevelopment in accordance with the Third Amended East New York I Urban Renewal Plan ("Plan") for the redevelopment of the Area.

 

The property to be sold is located in the Borough of Brooklyn, City and State of New York, and known as:

 

Address                                                                          Block/Lot(s)

 

473 Livonia Avenue                                                          3799/45 (Formerly Lots 45-51)     

 

on the Tax Map of the City ("Disposition Area").

 

This submission is a proposed amendment (“Amended Project”) to a project previously approved by the

Mayor on June 8, 2016 (Cal. No. 8) (“Original Project”).  The Amended Project changes the total number

of dwelling units from 50 units to 57 units and no longer requires uses such as a charter high school, a vocational training center, and a commercial kitchen and culinary arts training center for the commercial and community facilities, but is otherwise the same as the Original Project.

 

Under the proposed Amended Project, the City will sell the Disposition Area to HELP Woodycrest Housing Development Fund Corporation (“Sponsor”) for the nominal price of one dollar per tax lot.  The Sponsor will then construct one new building containing approximately 56 units of rental housing for low income families, plus one unit for a superintendent, and commercial and community facilities on the Disposition Area.

 

The proposed Land Disposition Agreement and the Plan are available for public examination at the office of HPD, 100 Gold Street, Room 5-I, New York, New York during its regular hours on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held on November 15, 2017 at 1 Centre Street, Manhattan, Mezzanine at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be reached on the calendar, at which time and place those wishing to be heard will be given an opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed sale of the Disposition Area pursuant to Section 507(2)(d) of the GML and Section 1802(6)(j) of the Charter.
