SPECIAL PERMITS:
Applications for Special Permits have been filed with the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), pursuant to Zoning Resolution of the City of New York §73-622, to enlarge single or two-family detached or semi-detached residences within the designated R3-2 district bounded by Avenue I, Nostrand Avenue, Kings Highway, Avenue O and Ocean Avenue in Community Board 14 in the Borough of Brooklyn.

VARIANCE:
A Variance application has been filed with the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) pursuant to §72-21 of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York to permit a Use Group 6 commercial use in the entire building at the premises. Sixty-two percent (62%) of the premises lies within an R5B zoning district where UG6 uses are not permitted as-of-right; the remaining thirty-eight (38%) percent of the premises lies within a C4-4A zoning district. Since less than half of the parcel is situated within the desired zoning district (i.e. C4-4A), a variance to permit a Use Group 6 uses in the entire building is being sought.

7:30 PM – 150 Kenilworth Place, between Hillel Place and Glenwood Road, Block 7556, Lot 71,
BSA# 40-10-BZ – Applicant’s Representative: Richard S. Lobel, 212-725-2727

2010 Census

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

The United States Constitution requires that the number of people living in the United States be counted every 10 years. People of all ages, races, ethnic groups, citizens and non-citizens alike, regardless of legal status, are to be counted in the next census in 2010. The United States Department of Commerce’s Census Bureau is responsible for the count.

  • The 2010 Census will find out how many people live in New York City, how many elected representatives we will have in Congress, determine who will represent you in the City Council and in the New York State Legislature, determine how much funding we will receive from the federal government for education, healthcare, job training, transportation, senior services, and other critical services important to all New Yorkers.

  • The 2010 Census is a form (in PDF) with 10 simple questions that will be mailed to you between February and March of 2010. You will be asked to answer questions about yourself and each person who lives with you. You then must mail back the completed form by April 1, 2010. All personal information you provide in answer to any question on the form is completely private and will not be shared with anyone else. The information you provide is only used for statistical purposes. Under the law, your personal information remains private for 72 years.

  • By law, the U.S. Census Bureau must submit state population counts to President Obama by December 31, 2010 to kick-off the process of deciding what Congressional district you live in and ultimately, who will represent you.

Why Participate?

  • It is your right and obligation to participate in the 2010 census so that your family and community get their fair share of representation in Congress, Albany, and the City Council.

  • It is important to participate and be counted so that New York City gets its fair share of funding from the federal government to improve schools and healthcare, fight crime, repair roads, and support other critical City services for all New Yorkers.

  • It is important to participate and be counted so that we have accurate statistical information on our population to make polices and deliver services that meet the needs of all the people living in every neighborhood and community.

  • It is important to participate and be counted because your presence matters and you count!

We are the largest and most diverse city in the nation. A successful census in New York City will only happen if everyone in every community across the City participates and is counted.

Council Launches Penalty Relief Program Aimed at Helping Businesses and Homeowners

Monday, October 19th, 2009

The Penalty Relief Program is a joint program between the City Council and Mayor Bloomberg established through Local Law 47 of 2009, which will run from September 21st until December 21st, 2009.

The Penalty Relief Program will allow businesses and homeowners who have outstanding default judgments against them from the Environmental Control Board (ECB) to pay ONLY the base violation fine amount.  A violation is considered to be in default if the individual or business that received the violation failed to pay the fine or challenge it in a hearing within the required time frame.  Through the program, the City will wave the default judgment, late fees, and all other penalties and interest.

Monday, July 27th, 2009

UPDATES:

10/19/09: The NYC Department of Homeless Services has responded to CB14 Chair Alvin Berk’s letter requesting clarification on what constitutes a homeless shelter.

9/3/09: CB14 District Manager Doris Ortíz, representatives of the NYC Department of Homeless Services, the Mayor’s Community Assistance Unit, the 70th Precinct,  Common Ground, and West Midwood Community Association visited 800 East 12th Street with the property owner on Wednesday, August 26th.  The walk-through provided the opportunity to observe that the property is well maintained.  There are four bathrooms on each floor; each room has ceiling fans, hardwood floors and window shades.  The graffiti has been removed from the exterior walls.  There is a live-in superintendent who is maintaining the facility.  Additionally, there are multiple security cameras aimed at multiple points of view to ensure full coverage of each floor, which are checked by the owner’s security several times a week.  The Police Department continues to conduct vertical patrols twice a week.  Finally, the owner, Michael Rosen, will join the West Midwood Community Association and attend as many meetings as possible.
