Positions this board recorded on land use projects
The city's zoning application records hold one dated position this board submitted on a land use project.
A community board's position on a land use application is advisory. The board holds a public hearing and votes on a recommendation; the City Planning Commission, and the City Council where the review reaches it, are the bodies that decide.
A recorded tally is the vote on the board's recommendation motion. It is not a count of members for or against the development.

Budget requests this district made to city agencies
The city's budget register holds 38 requests this board made for fiscal year 2027, addressed to 17 agencies.
A request is what the board asked for. A response is the written answer published for it on that date. Neither is funding, a commitment or delivery, and a request with a supportive answer is not a project.
A priority number is this board's own order inside one agency and one budget type. Requests to different agencies are not on one scale, and nothing here is a citywide ranking.
5 requests carry an answer that reads differently in the later publication.

The comfort station at Maria Hernandez Park is in serious need of an upgrade. There are frequent complaints about the lack of regular maintenance, pooling, and broken restroom equipment from community members, especially during the summertime. Given the high volume of visitors and recreational opportunities in general, a renovated comfort station is needed to better accommodate the public.

Department of Parks and Recreation
The Green Central Knoll play area, including the equipment, is in need of a complete renovation to bring the space up to modern industry safety and design standards. The area has been prone to flooding issues from a water feature and has a decorative path that takes up space, poses a potentially safety hazard, and is disconnected from the rest of the area. Renovation of the space will greatly improve the playground conditions and potentially alleviate some community concerns over competing uses in other park areas.

Expand Contracts for Tree Pruning. The industry standard of pruning every 7 years does not accommodate the number of requests. Larger trees in particular are overgrown and potential public safety hazards as they obstruct street lights, interfere with utility lines, and grow toward neighboring properties.
Answers published for this request
- Published May 12, 2026 Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, including trees that are obstructing traffic signs or signals, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. Trees that are entangled or causing problems with electrical or telecommunications lines should be referred to the utility provider as Parks crews are not authorized to prune around high voltage power lines.

- Reconstruct streets 204202705CPriority 01 among this board's capital requests to this agency · Fiscal year 2027 · The board gave no location for this request.
Broadway was once the major commercial corridor drawing consumers from all over Brooklyn. In its current state, Broadway is far from the thriving strip of businesses it was in the past. Reconstructing Broadway from Flushing Avenue to Van Sinderen Avenue is the first step in investing in the economic future of the neighborhood. The roadbed of this heavily traveled commercial strip is in a deplorable state. The last time it was repaved was the Broadway Reconstruction Project of 1986. Recent tragic incidents illustrate the need for an enhanced roadway, lighting, and other transit safety features.

Wyckoff Avenue is one of the major commercial and transit corridors in the neighborhood. The high volume of all types of traffic, including delivery trucks and EMS vehicles lead to rapid erosion of the streets and easily congests traffic. The reconstruction of Wyckoff Avenue is an important and capital project for safety of the community. This avenue is also shared with our neighbors in Queens, which would ideally make capital investment more feasible, given the potential for partnership on the project.

Myrtle Avenue from Broadway to Wyckoff Avenue is another major commercial corridor that directly links Queens to Brooklyn. The general traffic infrastructure and equipment is outdated and unreliable. The avenue is also notoriously difficult to traverse, given the overhead elevated M train line. The two-way bus traffic also contributes to the potential dangers of utilizing the corridor. Myrtle Avenue holds great potential to serve as a transportation conduit for the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Prioritizing investment will better prepare the neighborhood for the future.

Despite a historic decrease in neighborhood crime, statistics show increases in grand larcenies, burglaries, and gang activity in addition to a high volume of quality of life concerns. Additional Argus cameras would serve as a monitor and deterrent for areas with chronic safety issues. In 2025, Council Member Sandy Nurse's office (District 37) worked with the board to fund one of the camera locations even though the agency did not support the request. CB4 welcomes more productive and efficient agency responses to minimize redundant bureaucracy.
The board recorded support for this request from: Council Member Sandy Nurse

- Published May 12, 2026 OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: Argus cameras are funded via allocations from elected officials for use within their districts. Specific location recommendations should be provided to the local precinct commander for submission to the Information Technology Bureau once funding is allocated. The NYPD will attempt to accommodate specific location requests whenever funding is provided, but reserves the right to place cameras as appropriate due to current crime trends and operational needs.
