Eric Polatnik, attorney for the applicant, described the proposal as a rezoning from R6A to R7A with a special permit to increase building height from a permitted 90 feet to a proposed height of approximately 155 feet to accommodate a 14‑story building. He said the new tower would be built on an existing parking lot and that the application proposes a 1‑for‑1 replacement of seller‑level parking spaces. Polatnik said the parking lot is underused, with photographic and application materials indicating roughly 50 percent average occupancy, and that documentation of utilization was included in the application.

Applicant Chris Bramwell and the team said the project would create 292 additional units, bringing the broader campus to about 560 units total, and would be fully affordable, targeted to households at 60 percent of area median income (AMI). Funding sources identified by the applicant include federal low‑income housing tax credits and other subsidy sources; the applicant confirmed an intent to pursue HPD term sheets including the HPD SARAH term sheet when asked. Bramwell said security and site upgrades are core components of the proposal: a new plaza, courtyard replanting, upgraded fencing, new lighting, perimeter security improvements, sidewalks and street trees.

Council Member Osei raised questions about tenant impacts and unit mix. The applicant said the new building as proposed would include a high number of studio units—applicants cited approximately 222 studios and 69 one‑bedroom units—explaining the unit mix was chosen to match typical senior household sizes and program goals. The applicant said not all tenants would receive vouchers but rents are proposed at 60% AMI levels. On tenant disruption, the applicants said they have met with current residents of Willoughby Court Apartments and plan upgrades and support; they stated the parking replacement would be provided and that construction would not begin for at least a year following approvals, with construction lasting roughly 18–24 months.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","🔴 LIVE: \"Reviewing Land Use Applications,\" Hosted by the Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises","oneSentenceSummary","Developers seeking to build a 14‑story, fully affordable senior housing tower on Marcus Garvey Boulevard told the Council's Land Use subcommittee they will replace parking on a 1‑for‑1 basis and target rents at 60% AMI; the hearing was laid over for future consideration.","taxTitle","New York City Council, New York City, New York County, New York","taxId",77593,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6536783,"Council subcommittee hears applicant for Ocean Crest Article 11 tax exemption; item laid over",240,412000,652000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677565-392ea11966ddf6f8fe6119c53e11271e&start=412&end=652","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677565-392ea11966ddf6f8fe6119c53e11271e/thumbnail_412000.jpg","/articles/6536783/New-York/Council-subcommittee-hears-applicant-for-Ocean-Crest-Article-11-tax-exemption-item-laid-over","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536783-6db635b48be6be0ffd9f271dff1c4b23/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174506&Signature=YUh7bJIznecxtwOuzlLVHelnMn-ZIvbsGiJDw5j-rzSZ3fbml2dtqWICkc751PGtb6g9HEfLmDmwqFJakdDSlNefBAMIGIJUno4Al3xatOIgCLBxlOTKybpxcOgJ2Ez5gIL~m80ftlY85ZKaYhlrw9KXZXlbjjifQIZuMC8obQ34Py9wSL5muMuJ6Pr8UZOUnmvXP8a3waV7OX3LyhLXfvADrL8h-6PD~Hgvx50CM3PoLahuXS3Hz9O6GNr8bGQtwIlJEhbJC5sGJxeelPqemfI4F1DMLfsJVDAPmRpqzfAfWDseOaqUDIqKacg3HEm-hECl9CgaRrTBbVb4i6Clfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York City Council Land Use subcommittee opened a pre-considered hearing on application G250076SCQ, an Article 11 tax-exemption request for Ocean Crest, an 89‑unit affordable homeownership development in Queens. The project was described as previously approved by the council in August 2023 and proposed to be financed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Open Door program.

Applicant Jesse Badis stated he represented the sponsor entities and affirmed his testimony for the record. The applicant described Ocean Crest as “an 89 unit, 100 percent affordable homeownership development previously approved by the city council on August eighth of 2023,” and said the project would be financed under HPD’s Open Door program. HPD staff identified on the record as available for questions included Ryan Moroz, Emily Adler and Justin Donlon.

After the applicant’s presentation, the applicant panel was excused and no members of the public testified either in person or remotely. Chair Riley closed the public hearing and the subcommittee laid the item over for later consideration. The subcommittee record notes that written testimony may be submitted via landusetestimony@council.nyc.gov within the published window.","An applicant and HPD staff presented an Article 11 tax-exemption request for Ocean Crest, an 89-unit affordable homeownership project in Queens; no public testimony was given and the subcommittee laid the item over.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6536789,"Subcommittee holds zoning-special-permit hearing for 145 For Harlem; no public testimony, item laid over",224,186000,410000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3677565-392ea11966ddf6f8fe6119c53e11271e&start=186&end=410","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3677565-392ea11966ddf6f8fe6119c53e11271e/thumbnail_186000.jpg","/articles/6536789/New-York/Subcommittee-holds-zoning-special-permit-hearing-for-145-For-Harlem-no-public-testimony-item-laid-over","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6536789-21c7bd539d09587a249c12c19fef9fc2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174506&Signature=YJ8-F--6-1EDNk9jqaLiv7~Y9xmXHtxU3iMvP7eBzHsTnSUspaW~nx1yWZf4RtQWnG5HUKar7dfcp0ZejHsGZf9FSWcUMhMkNmghXJ1m0Jyx07aR3F9l3LfvZjgc3zHfupWXiaN2Gktb63OPzme9emLIpH1ldJW7xfWIQTU8T~8XE6FnbfHWn90FxfJptnPu34hmW90xKhn-CrdiJoCJh-6EKAQW-RIJSF-dOZQTJGZLnkbePxpTyIL0AUvyDjnPmQ5lwyX8IIW0wSTJHKmylBJ470mkkDV-h7P4Rv9vEmF4MaVtY40KCMGI107pPopD88qKH2gGZtLqMkQKYmQPrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York City Council Land Use subcommittee opened a public hearing on LU-296, the zoning special permit that is part of the land-use package for the development known as 145 For Harlem in Council Member Salam’s district.

The applicants said the project would result in a six‑story, roughly 26,000‑square‑foot mixed commercial and residential building with about 28 apartments, of which roughly seven would be permanently income‑restricted.

Richard Lobel of the law firm Sheldon Lobel introduced the application and said it had unanimous support from Community Board 1 and unconditional approval from the Brooklyn Borough President. Victor Efremenkov and Alexander Zrutnick described site context, design and a unit mix that the applicants said was “85% of the units 1 bedroom or above”: four studios, 14 one‑bedrooms and 10 two‑bedrooms. The proposed project would include ground‑floor commercial space and three parking spaces.

Council members asked for clarification on floor‑area ratio (FAR), tenant impacts and timeline. The applicants said the project was designed on a 3.0 FAR baseline and that the total FAR would be about 3.54—close to but not fully utilizing the latest rezoning allowance of 3.9 FAR. The applicants said most of the eight existing residential units were vacant or their leases expire this summer; they committed to help with moving expenses and to offer returning tenants a discounted apartment in the future. The team estimated that, if rezoned and financed, Department of Buildings filings and approvals would take time and that construction would not likely begin for a minimum of a year with expected construction lasting about 18–24 months.","Applicants seeking a rezoning on North Seventh Street in Williamsburg presented plans for a six‑story mixed building with roughly 28 apartments including seven permanently income‑restricted units; the subcommittee closed the hearing and laid the items over.","actionData","errors"]
