The 30,000 square foot city-owned industrial building at Powell Street and Pitkin Avenue is currently underutilized and in poor condition. EDC will invest city capital to complete major capital upgrades to the building's exterior and interior, including new lighting, facade repair, signage and mechanical systems. The improvements will result in more modern industrial space accommodating six industrial tenants and around 60 new jobs.
Timeline: The first phase of improvements will begin Q3 2016; the second phase of work is anticipated to begin Q3 2017
Capital Funding: $6 million

NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY - RESEARCH (NYPL)

Not Started

One of the Brooklyn’s historic Carnegie libraries, Pacific Street Library serves as a cultural touchpoint and community center for the Gowanus neighborhood as well as the surrounding area. Improvements to the Pacific Street Library are critical to providing access, programming, and resources to all library patrons.
Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) will make significant state of good repair investments at Pacific Street Library including the installation of an elevator to all three building floors and upgrades to the building's structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, and localized upgrades to the building interior and exterior.

2023 Start

The balance of funding Brooklyn Public Library needed to fully fund the Pacific Library project was allocated to BPL in this years' Executive Budget. Using the $34.9 million funds allocated BPL will proceed with the full overhaul. BPL expects to begin design later in FY 23.

La Marqueta is located along Park Avenue, between E111th Street and E119th Street underneath the Park Avenue viaduct. Since its inception in 1936, La Marqueta has steadfastly remained a landmark in East Harlem. The Speaker's Office and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) have engaged in a feasibility study to develop goals and a framework for future investments at La Marqueta. This work led to a conceptual plan for Lots 1 through 8 that illustrates and reflects the goals and framework developed through the feasibility study. The next step will be to move from concept phase to design phase, which is anticipated to be in FY18, after which construction is anticipated to start in the winter of 2019. An overview of the organizational structure for La Marqueta is included as an exhibit to this POA. Moving forward, NYCEDC is open to exploring public-private partnerships to further activate the public market.

Capital improvement work began in June, 2018 at Lot 5-La Placita, with an expected completion date is December, 2018. ACACIA and Council Member Ayala are working on the formation of FolaM (Friends of La Marqueta, an independent community non-profit). While their deadline was set for May 21, 2018, EDC granted two extra months for the formation of the non-profit. Once FolaM is formed, EDC will start the RFP process for public-private partnership with an organization to further activate La Marqueta.

EDC in partnership with the Council Member and the Friends of La Marqueta (FoLM) released a community partner competitive procurement in spring 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the selection process was paused. The La Placita capital project is also delayed with completion now set for summer 2021. Redevelopment design work for all of La Marqueta was also paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the pending viaduct replacement work scheduled by MTA. It is anticipated that MTA will commence remedial work on the viaduct (from approx. 115th Street to approx. 123rd Street) in the second and third quarters of 2022. Once the project work resumes, EDC plans to commence the design phase of market redevelopment and will work closely with MTA, the Council Member, and FoLM to ensure project success and alignment.

In addition, as part of the permitted site connection process the City will prepare an annual report on applicable project approvals and completions for the preceding calendar year within the Gowanus Canal Sewershed. This information will include the anticipated sanitary discharge, development site storm flow, allowable flow from the site and/or the stormwater release rate from the site submitted. Data will be made publicly available and easy to access for individual sites and summarized for the Gowanus Canal Sewershed.

We have not seen evidence that the ability for owners to convert their properties to residential uses as-of-right poses issues for this area. Nonetheless at your request, DCP will report back to the Manhattan Borough President's Office and the City Council on the prevalence of residential conversions and any associated impacts in the rezoning boundaries in both 3 years and 5 years time.

2017-2022

DCP released its three-year report on residential conversion activity in East Midtown to the Manhattan Borough President and City Council in August 2020. DCP will release its five-year report in August 2022.
