Bill > S07223

This bill authorizes the city of New York to transfer ownership of a property located at 727 Greene Avenue in Brooklyn (specifically Block 1614, Lots #1, #79, and #80) to the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BSVAC) at no cost. The transfer is intended to recognize BSVAC's long-standing service to the Bedford-Stuyvesant community and enable them to establish a permanent facility for emergency medical services. The land transfer comes with specific use restrictions: the property must primarily be used for operating a volunteer ambulance service and related services, which include emergency medical response, first aid, patient transport, equipment maintenance, community health services, preventative care, wellness initiatives, mental health and maternal health services, and workforce development programs for individuals interested in emergency medical services (EMS), public healthcare, and public safety. If BSVAC does not use the land for these specified purposes, ownership of the property will revert back to the city of New York. The bill allows BSVAC to optionally submit an accurate survey and description of the land for the city's approval, though this is not mandatory.
