Notice text
<p> Pursuant to Section 695(2)(b) of the General Municipal Law 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 a proposed an amendment to the terms of sale of the following City-owned property ("Disposition Area") in the Borough of Queens:</p> <p> </p> <p> <u>Address</u> <u>Block/Lot</u></p> <p> 503 Onderdonk Avenue 3405/11</p> <p> </p> <p> This submission is a proposed amendment to a project previously approved by the by the Mayor on February 5, 2003 (Cal. No. 34) (“Original Project”). Under the Original Project, the City sold the Disposition Area to 503 Onderdonk Avenue Housing Development Fund Corporation (“Sponsor”) on January 5, 2006. At the time of sale, the building on the Disposition Area contained four (4) dwelling units, with two (2) units on the ground floor and two (2) units on the second floor. Under the Original Project, Sponsor was required to offer all existing tenants two year leases at then-current rents and, after a period of management, to sell the building for a purchase price below the appraised value to an income-eligible family who agreed to owner-occupy the building for three years, with preference given to existing residential tenants. If Sponsor was unable to sell the building as described within three years, then, with HPD’s prior approval, Sponsor had the option to either sell the building to a non-eligible family or to rent the dwelling units.</p> <p> </p> <p> The two (2) units on the ground floor of the building are currently being used as an ambulance station and the two (2) units on the second floor are currently vacant. HPD proposes that the Original Project be amended to allow the ground floor units to continue its community facility use as an ambulance station and that the units on the second floor be rented to income-eligible families. The community facility use is permitted as-of-right in the R6B zoning district.</p> <p> </p> <p> The proposed Amendment to Deed and Project Summary are available for public examination at the office of HPD, 100 Gold Street, Room 5-A1, New York, New York on business days during business hours.</p> <p> </p> <p> PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held on December 23, 2013 at Second Floor Conference Room, 22 Reade Street, Manhattan 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 695(2)(b) of the General Municipal Law and Section 1802(6)(j) of the Charter.</p> <p> </p> <p> Individuals requesting sign language interpreters should contact the Mayor's Office Of Contract Services, Public Hearings Unit, 253 Broadway, Room 915, New York, New York 10007, (212) 788-7490, no later than seven (7) business days prior to the public hearing.
