Community Budget Recommendations

Each year, as required by the New York City Charter, all 59 NYC Community Boards submit recommendations for NYC’s capital and expense budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. Community members are invited to participate in the budget process by suggesting new city programs or capital projects.

Please note that capital projects generally have a value of $35,000 or more and have a useful life of at least 5 years. Recommendations can be made for new city services but please note that requests regarding existing programs and regular city services (e.g., street signs, building inspections, parks maintenance, road repair, tree pruning) should be directed to the Community Board office as routine service delivery requests.

You’ll find the full list of budget requests submitted to the City for this past fiscal year in CB14’s Statement of Community District Needs and Community Board Budget Requests for FY2026 below.
