| * | Harvey D. Epstein | | Proposed Int. No. 178-A | Providing support for the conversion of buildings to a residential use. | Introduction | This bill would require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Department of Buildings, Department of City Planning, Board of Standards and Appeals, and Landmarks Preservation Commission to provide centralized technical assistance to developers and owners seeking to convert non-residential space into residential units. Such support would include designating a liaison to facilitate interagency communications and respond to inquiries from prospective and current conversion applicants, maintaining a publicly available website to provide educational materials on conversions, liaising with federal and New York State authorities on permits and relevant grant, loan, and tax programs, and collecting data on conversions in the City. A designated office or agency would also provide a triennial report on fulfillment of its duties to the Speaker of the Council, Mayor, and Public Advocate that it would also post online. | | |
