The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is planning to install bioswales, known as rain gardens, throughout East New York that will green the streets and improve the water quality in Jamaica Bay by absorbing stormwater runoff. These projects are currently in design, and DEP has performed walkthroughs of the area to determine the most effective locations for the rain gardens. DEP has also begun geotechnical investigations, which will dictate the suitability of the green infrastructure at the selected locations. DEP expects to complete design of the rain gardens by the end of 2017 and anticipates construction to begin in 2018.

The City will pursue a follow-up zoning action to include provisions for the integration of subway entrances into building envelopes at East 116th Street and Lexington Avenue. Such integration is to include potential subway stair relocation and renovation requirements, subject to consultation with MTA.

2018

Following the public review process, the community expressed concerns regarding better integration of streetscape design and transit accessibility. DCP has committed to modifying the Zoning Resolution to allow for the integration of subway station entrances into building envelopes at the intersection of East 116th Street and Lexington Avenue. In order to evaluate the impact of such integration, DCP has consulted the MTA to ensure that the proposed text amendment is aligned with their current station standards. As a result, there was one projected development site identified where the bulk and height may change in order to accommodate a subway station. This change will also be included in the revised analysis of the FEIS and memorialized in a technical memorandum that will outline the changes being made. The Department is currently on track to complete this commitment and refer this text amendment out by the end of 2018.

HUMAN RESOURCES ADMINISTRATION (HRA)

Completed and Ongoing

The City has committed $36 million for free legal representation in housing court to any tenant in a rezoned neighborhood facing harassment. In East New York, between March and October 2015, this legal funding has already served 90 buildings totaling approximately 870 households. Undocumented families are also able to access these services, and the City's Tenant Support Unit continues to canvass the neighborhood to ensure that residents are aware of these services. The Administration commits to funding this work in East New York for no less than five years to ensure that adequate legal resources are in place.

The Administration helped to create an interagency, multi-jurisdictional Tenant Harassment Prevention Task Force to investigate and bring enforcement actions - including criminal charges - against landlords who harass tenants in East New York and other neighborhoods. The Task Force addresses complaints and uses data analysis to identify landlords who use a variety of tactics, including disruptive and dangerous renovation and construction projects, to force tenants into vacating rent-regulated apartments. HPD will work with Tenant Harassment Task Force to take action against landlords who harass tenants.

2015-ongoing

Between March 2015 and FY2024 the City provided free legal assistance to 12,615 households in East New York, including over 32,257 individuals, including 12,473 children. OCJ’s tenant legal services programs have expanded beyond East New York and the initial limited zip codes, and it’s now citywide. As part of the City's efforts to reduce unlawful evictions and prevent displacement, the Fiscal 2025 Budget as of the Executive 2026 Plan includes a total of more than $204 million for anti-eviction and anti-harassment tenant legal services. As part of its commitment to provide universal access to counsel for tenants facing eviction in Housing Court, the City will fund legal services in East New York. Universal Access represents a more than $204 million citywide commitment in Fiscal Year 2025, ensuring free legal representation for low-income tenants and free legal counseling for those who earn more.
