Bill > A01536

This bill requires the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) to follow the New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) whenever it intends to dispose of land or buildings, regardless of any existing contradictory laws or regulations. The ULURP is a standardized process that ensures transparency and public input in land use decisions, typically involving review and approval by local community boards, borough presidents, the City Planning Commission, and the City Council. Currently, NYCHA's property dispositions are governed by section 18 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, but this bill adds an additional layer of local review to provide more community oversight. By mandating compliance with the ULURP, the bill aims to give local stakeholders more opportunities to participate in and potentially influence NYCHA's real estate decisions. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, and is officially known as the "NYCHA real property public review act".
