Zoning

Land-use applications

Pick a land-use application to see it in plain English -- applicant, what's proposed, affordable units when relevant, status -- and on a map. Try "79 Rivington" or "Gowanus".

How this list works

Rezoning data comes from NYC's Zoning Application Portal (ZAP) via NYC Open Data, which the city refreshes about monthly. A change on the live ZAP site can take weeks to appear here. Lot outlines use the same tax-lot boundaries shown in ZAP Search. When a lot cannot be matched, confirm the location on ZoLa.

City property disposition

Hearings, sales, and awards

Property dispositions are grouped by parcel and process stage — hearing, auction or RFP, then award or conveyance — so repeated titles collapse when they share a tax lot. Links lead to the City Record source.

City agency rulemaking

Proposal, public process, adoption

How this list works

Agency rules are grouped by stage — proposal, public process, adoption, then effective date — when the connection is clear. Each stage links to its City Record source.

What you can do now

Public hearings and meetings

Not every meeting is a hearing

A public hearing is a scheduled chance to give testimony or evidence on a specific matter. A public meeting is broader — some are open only to observe. Open any listing to see what the body can do next and how you can take part.

How this list works
Public hearings follow a meeting arc — scheduled, agenda, held, then outcomes — with next steps when attendance or testimony is published. Same-board same-day notices collapse into one card. Each notice links to its City Record source.
Affected place drives “near me.” The venue is shown separately, because a Manhattan hearing can decide a Queens matter. Citywide and unlocated notices stay visible.

How multi-watch digests arrive

When one email has more than one active watch, CityScroll sends a single daily digest with a section per watch. Group the demo watches below by topic, agency, or geography to see how related alerts cluster.

Consolidated digest (demo)

Change frequency, pause a watch, or unsubscribe from the preference center linked in every digest footer.

Manage watches

Changes apply to the next digest (about 9am Eastern).

If a daily watch is quiet for 14 days, we send a still-watching note so silence never looks like an outage.

Unsubscribe takes effect immediately.

On December 12, 1996 (Cal. No. 20) and May 7, 1997 (Cal. No. 92), the Mayor approved the conveyance of Block 3675, Lots 4 and 7; Block 1372, Lot 20; and Block 3551, Lot 34 in Brooklyn to William L. Chisolm Housing Development Fund Corporation (&ldquo;Original Sponsor&rdquo;) for the rehabilitation of four multiple dwellings containing a total of sixty-two (62) affordable dwelling units under the Special Initiatives Program.&nbsp; One of the multiple dwellings was 249-51 Mother Gaston Boulevard, which contained nineteen (19) dwelling units.&nbsp; At the time, the City believed that the entire building was on Block 3675, Lot 7.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> The City conveyed the four lots to the Original Sponsor on June 10, 1999 (&ldquo;Original Conveyance&rdquo;).&nbsp; At the time of sale, the Original Sponsor executed a regulatory agreement with HPD and delivered an enforcement note and mortgage. The Original Sponsor completed the rehabilitation.&nbsp; In 2006, the four properties were transferred under a bankruptcy proceeding to Park Monroe Housing Development Fund Corporation (&ldquo;Park Monroe&rdquo;).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Park Monroe later discovered and HPD confirmed that 249-51 Mother Gaston Boulevard actually stood on two lots, Block 3675, Lots 7 and 8.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, while Lot 7 was part of the Original Conveyance, Lot 8 was never conveyed due to the misunderstanding that the entire building was on Lot 7.&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> This submission is intended to rectify that error and seeks approval to convey Block 3675, Lot 8 to the Current Owner for the nominal price of one dollar ($1.00), so that the entire 249-51 Mother Gaston Boulevard will be owned by Park Monroe.&nbsp; Upon such sale, the regulatory agreement and enforcement mortgage will be amended to cover Lot 8 so that all of 249-51 Mother Gaston Boulevard will become legally subject to such documents.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held on December 20, 2017 at 1 Centre Street, Mezzanine, 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> &nbsp;</p> <p> Individuals requesting sign language interpreters should contact the Mayor&#39;s Office Of Contract Services, Public Hearings Unit, 253 Broadway, Room 915, New York, New York 10007, (212) 788-7490, no later than ten (10) business days prior to the public hearing.&nbsp; TDD users should call Verizon relay services.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p>
