1	Study the Effects of Full Street Closures for Commercial Events	E30. Allocate funds to enable SAPO (the Street Activities Permit Office) to study the effects that full street closures for commercial events have on neighboring businesses and residents. CB2 remains disturbed by the endless proliferation of promotional and commercial events, some with permits; some not; which are occurring regularly especially in SoHo and NoHo. The study should include the impacts on pedestrian access, traffic flow, and the creation of "hot spots" at the confluence of multiple street closures in close proximity, as compared with other Districts.	every year since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Study the Effectiveness of the Hudson Square Rezoning against its original goals, with a focus on housing creation	Fund a Study to identify the development projects that have actually been planned and/or completed within the boundaries of the 2013 Hudson Square Rezoning. The report should identify the number of residential units, floor area of residential, number of affordable and market rate, and for the affordable units, identify the duration of the affordability (e.g., permanent, 20- year, etc). Per building, the report should identify the AMI levels for the affordable housing, and differentiate between rentals and home ownership units. The report should also identify those buildings that were proposed as residential, but resulted in commercial development. The report should evaluate the success of the Hudson Square Rezoning in terms of its original goals, particularly the creation of housing stock (affordable and market rate). Based on the results of the study, identify methods available to rebalance or course-correct the rezoning in order to produce additional residential housing stock, with a focus on affordable versus market rate. Identify what tools (e.g., tax abatements, affordable housing frameworks) would be appropriate in order to achieve these goals.	every year since FY2026	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. The Manhattan Borough Office would like to better understand the board's request and the needs it seeks to address. DCP is committed to promoting housing production and affordability. The planner assigned to CD3 will reach out to the board in January to help point the CB towards publicly available data and resources if needed and is happy to discuss this inquiry further.	Further investigation of this request is needed. Contact the agency.
1	Hudson Waterfront Resiliency Study	Location: West Street - Canal Street & West 14 Street Allocate funds for the City to sponsor and conduct a more localized study of coastal resiliency options for the west side of the District along Hudson River Park, coordinating with relevant constituencies including the Hudson River Park Trust and the State Department of Transportation, to allow for more effective resiliency efforts. In the aftermath of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, compounded by Climate Change, it has become clear that the Hudson River waterfront is dangerously vulnerable to storm surges, extreme weather and tidal events. There has, however, been been opposition to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposals for abatement of the effects of these phenomena, because among other things the USACE recommendations do not take into account local conditions. The newly created Waterfront Code Committee could also potentially be part of this process. After making this request in previous years, the agency response was that further study of the request was needed - without undertaking such a study or indicating what aspects of the problem should be studied. This effort needs City sponsorship to coordinate among all relevant constituencies.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Address Staffing Challenges	Address Staffing Challenges: particularly additional gardeners and maintenance staff and Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) officers. Explanation: historically, only one gardener has been employed to cover 65 downtown parks, green spaces and DOT sites. Gardeners make a major difference in park health, but staffing levels are inconsistent and not guaranteed. Volunteers can supplement, but trained gardeners are essential for plant health and sustainability, so resources to employ more gardeners would be valuable. PEP officers tasked with enforcement of rules and improved security presence help maintain order and deter unsafe or inappropriate activity.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We will determine whether additional gardeners, maintenance staff and PEP officers can be hired after the FY 27 budget is adopted.

1	1. Further Implementation of Trash Containerization, including "Empire bin" style containers.	Evaluate the quantity and condition of trash and recycling containers, as well as evaluate collection schedules, and to make adjustments as necessary. In particular, DSNY should monitor the effects of the new containerization rules which came into effect in the fall of2024. Within CD2 and other districts with a historic streetscape and a heterogenous landscape of narrow sidewalks and streets, special study is needed to determine the optimal way to containerize trash without placing an undue burden on residents and without impeding the pedestrian right-of-way. In particular, DSNY should evaluate and place "Empire bin" style large containers, which have been piloted in other districts, in appropriate areas of CD2. In addition, new designs are needed for rat resistant trash containers. Rat remediation also requires more frequent litter basket collection, especially on weekends and around spaces that attract large numbers of people.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

3	Study the Effectiveness of the SOHO/NOHO/Chinatown Rezoning against its original goals, with a focus on housing creation	The five-year mark is approaching for this rezoning and we are starting to see land use applications for this area. CB2 was particularly concerned by the application for a new building on 43 Bleecker Street. The application did not properly account for the past existence of residential lofts in the building and the developer may not be providing the amount of required affordable housing on site. There are several other new buildings coming on line in this area and each one has required detailed analysis. CB2 is concerned about the impact of this rezoning on increased displacement, the loss of existing affordable housing, the danger of not producing required new affordable housing, and the lack of accountability. As part of this study, CB2 wants an evaluation of the impact of the changes on existing rent-regulated loft residences. CB2 does not want this rezoning to increase displacement of any from any of the existing affordable housing resources. CB2 fears that the loss of existing affordable housing may offset any increases coming from housing created under the new rezoning. CB2 has previously asked for a report identifying the number of units that are currently being converted or have been converted from commercial and manufacturing spaces to rent-stabilized residential uses since the creation of the Loft Board. The report should identify building-level detail such as house number, street name, BBL, BIN, and community district.

1	Cruise Ship Terminal Shore Power	Enable shore power at the Manhattan Cruise Ship Terminal. The Manhattan Cruise Ship Terminal is an overwhelming source of pollution.

Installing a socket for cruise ships to "plug-in"" to draw power from the existing power grid will dramatically reduce diesel particulate matter and improve the water quality in the Hudson River. Cruise ship fleets are already converting and the EDC should serve that demand to upgrade the terminal and reduce the carbon footprint of the cruise ship industry.

1	Municipal facilities for CD6	Manhattan Community Board 6 (CB6) currently leases office space under a 10-year agreement that's due to end in September 2028. However, this space cannot accommodate the Board's mandated monthly Full Board meetings under Section 2800(h) of the City Charter. Each month, CB6 convenes 11 public meetings, which require facilities for as many as 100 attendees, yet district venues are either unavailable, cost-prohibitive, or lack the necessary technology for hybrid and accessible participation. As a result, this agency struggles to fulfill its Charter-mandated role of hosting open, accessible meetings for the public. Ideally, CB6 requests a 5,000 sq. ft. office space with a 150-seat public meeting room. Providing a purpose-built civic space would strengthen government transparency, ensure compliance with the City Charter, and improve public participation in the democratic process. Such a space could also serve other agencies that also struggle to find meeting spaces. Recognizing that the request is a long-term solution, CB6 also requests immediate assistance from DCAS in optimizing our existing office space. For example, removing outdated heavy filing cabinets and unused storage units would free up urgently needed square footage and allow us to operate more effectively in the interim.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. 25-0599: DCAS does not have a conceptually approved Space Request for this.

1	Replace all lead service lines	Lead is poisonous and can irreversibly affect every organ and system in the human body causing health problems for people of all ages. Before 1961, NYC policy was to first encourage, then require, building construction to use lead pipes so 27.4% of all buildings in CB6 continue to have lead service lines. Since the service lines are privately owned under NYC law, property owners should not bear the direct cost of replacing the remaining lead pipes. The Federal Lead and Copper Rule Improvements issued by the Environmental Protection Agency on October 8, 2024, require the removal of all lead service lines by December 31, 2037. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provide appropriations for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program to finance lead service line identification and replacement projects. The cost of replacing lead pipes is significantly lower in the long run than the cost of healthcare from lead exposure over an individual's lifetime.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	New intergenerational community center	Manhattan Community District 6 has a significant senior population, with 18.2% of residents aged 65 or older. The need for community spaces has become increasingly critical, especially in light of the loneliness epidemic exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We propose the establishment of an intergenerational community center in our district to address these challenges. This new center would provide essential services and programming for seniors while fostering connections across age groups. We request that CD6 be included in the decision-making process for the location and facilities of this new center, and we encourage the exploration of partnerships with existing City-owned facilities such as colleges and schools to maximize resources and programming opportunities.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	More affordable housing	The City of New York faces an ongoing housing affordability crisis that requires bold and coordinated investment. We are requesting capital funding to urge City agencies to study, identify, and build on City-owned sites to provide affordable housing, particularly low- and moderate-income households and ask that the City help subsidize new affordable housing with the goal that at least 25% of all new units constructed in CD6 are affordable year over year. According to Population Factfinder on DCP's website, which uses US Census data, between 2010 and 2020, only 4,665 new housing units were constructed in CD6. The NYU Furman Center has identified that 91% of all units constructed in CD6 since 2010 are market rate. The 9% of affordable units constructed in CD6 is lower than the Manhattan average (22%) and Citywide average (27%). In keeping with the Manhattan and Citywide trend, asking that 25% of all new units are affordable would be consistent with the average. We believe this funding will support a comprehensive effort to analyze available sites, engage communities in planning, and deliver high-quality housing developments that are financially accessible and sustainable.

1	Kips Bay Library HVAC	The New York Public Library respectfully requests $5,500,000 in capital funding to replace the old, outdated HVAC system at the Kips Bay Library. This essential infrastructure project will ensure that the branch continues to be a welcoming space for all patrons by modernizing the building's physical plant with a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient heating and cooling system. The current HVAC system struggles to maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor climate, especially during periods of extreme outdoor weather and temperatures. Replacing this system will ensure a comfortable, climate-controlled environment that meets the needs of a diverse and expanding population from pre-school and elementary school children in after-school programs to senior citizens seeking social and educational engagement. The replacement system will serve all areas of the library, which are experiencing increased growth and usage from the community. According to NYPL data, there has been a marked rise in visits from educators and students using curriculum-aligned research materials, and a 100% increase in school field trip attendance. Once completed, this investment will provide for the long-term a comfortable and climatized environment for its thousands of residents and patrons. It will support all patrons of all ages and will reinforce the City's vision of libraries as community sanctuaries that anchor neighborhood camaraderie and deliver measurable educational, cultural, and economic returns for decades to come.

3	Make Capital Improvements to Peter's Field	Located adjacent to MS 104 and regularly used by many students and community residents, Peter's Field has long been in need of an upgrade. Community Board Six has received various complaints that the facility is not up to standard and, as such, decreases the enjoyment of the space--especially the basketball courts--and delivers a perception that the community is a victim of urban blight. The upgrade should be anchored by leveling and repainting the damaged, uneven and potentially unsafe court surface. Peter's Field is home to the only NYC Parks basketball facility in the district that has rims that do not allow nets, so regulation basketball rims, backboards, stanchions and nets should be installed.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports and can accommodate.

8	Installing Irrigation Capability at Ralph J. Bunche Park	Ralph Bunche Park on First Avenue across the street from the United Nations Headquarters is in need of a water irrigation system for the park's plants. During a drought in 2022, the demise of many plants in the park was attributed to the absence of an irrigation system. The current system of volunteers periodically watering plants through hoses and watering cans is insufficient. With scaffolding in the park having been removed, there is a heightened need for care of sun-impacted plants. In 2022, community residents and visitors to what is known as the city's first peace park were denied a thriving park because of the lack of an irrigation system. Visitors include attendees of September's United Nations General Assembly, the world's largest annual assemblage of world leaders.	every year since FY2024	Agency supports and can accommodate.

CB6 would like more frequent patrols in our district. Current levels of roving enforcement are not sufficient to address quality of life issues in our parks which appear to have ramped up during the pandemic; more fixed patrols are needed. In this vein, we support funding of 1 additional sergeant and 8 additional PEP officers for Manhattan South. If additional officers are not possible at this time, we urge that the current level of staffing continue and that the Department of Parks consider patrol routes to address changing needs.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Other expense budget request for ACS	Provide increased funding for youth psychological and psychiatric services, including anti-bullying efforts, to address widespread barriers to mental health services for our children and young people	every year since FY2024	This request has already been completed. Mental health and trauma informed services are critical for the families with which ACS works. Below are some of the ways that these types of programs are infused in the work of ACS: • ACS’s prevention service continuum includes models that specifically work with families that have experienced trauma and all of our prevention programs connect families in need to behavioral health services. Some examples of model that focus on trauma and/or mental health services are: --CPP is an intervention model for children ages birth-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event and/or are experiencing mental health, attachment, and/or behavioral problems. CPP examines how the child’s and/or caregiver’s trauma histories affect the parent-child relationship. CPP supports and strengthens the caregiver-child relationships to restore the child’s sense of safety and attachment. --FT/R is specifically for families where substance use or mental health is the primary issue of the caregiver. The intervention is organized into treatment phases with the support of a Clinical Diagnostic Team. --TST is a trauma-informed clinical and organizational model designed to help understand and address the needs of families with youth who have been exposed to traumatic events and are experiencing emotional and behavioral problems as a result. TST focuses on the interaction between the child’s difficulties regulating his/her emotions and the deficits within the child’s social environment (home, school, and neighborhood) --MST-CAN is an adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) and was developed to treat families with children aged 6 to 18 that have come to the attention of ACS due to high risk and safety issues. MST-CAN is reserved only for very high-risk cases. MST-CAN therapists complete a functional assessment of the family and safety plans. Therapists provide treatment in the home, including parent training; safety planning; substance use treatment; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) treatment for children, youth and adults; anger management; marital therapy; and family therapy. Understanding that children and youth who come into foster care have often experienced trauma, in addition to the state required foster parent training, we require additional training for our foster parents called TRIPP, Trauma-Responsive and Informed Parenting Program (TRIPP). TRIPP is a learning program designed to prepare and support foster parents to care for children who have experienced trauma and may have therapeutic needs. This comprehensive training applies a trauma-informed lens and includes intensive preparation and development components that reflect the capacities required of foster parents. The training tackles separation, loss, grief, trauma, and differences of race and culture in foster care. TRIPP supports caregivers’ ability to determine their own capacity to parent and/or explore additional supports, resources, or training needed to gain the capacity to parent. It also prepares caregivers by increasing their knowledge and ability to understand and respond to the unique needs of children placed in their care. TRIPP allows participants to practice examining and reinterpreting the behavior of children, in order to appropriately respond to their underlying thoughts, feelings and needs, rather than react to their behavior.

YSSI supports youth in both our foster care and juvenile justice programs. Starting in FY26, ACS will have $13 million more dollars to invest in Fair Futures programming, which enhances the $30.7 already baselined in our budget. Beginning in FY27 and beyond, another $23.5 million will be added. Of this new funding a portion was allocated specifically for foster care providers totaling $10.4 million in FY 26 and $18.8 million beginning in FY27. This is in addition to the baseline funding of $23.9M for foster care providers. The remainder of the funding will serve youth in juvenile justice programs and fund training and implementation support delivered by the Center for Fair Futures. • Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,300 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic, housing, career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. • College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students by FY 27. • Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support . Additionally, youth will receive a daily cash stipend This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program beginning in FY26.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: Young people can remain in foster care up until age 21 in NYC (not 18). In addition, ACS does not discharge youth to homelessness (and will let those who are 21 and do not yet have stable housing remain in care.) For youth leaving foster care, ACS and its contracted provider agencies are providing support to connect youth/families to safe, affordable and stable housing. ACS and its contracted providers assess housing needs and support youth/families with the NYCHA Public Housing and supportive housing application process as well as the CITYFHEPS or Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Section 8 application process. ACS has also contracted with a service provider (AnthosHome) which offers housing navigation and stabilization support – to help young adults and families who are issued a voucher. ANTHOS\|HOME supports the head of household locate, secure and move into an apartment using their voucher and then maintain housing stability with aftercare services through the recertification/lease renewal period. All youth who have been housed through our work with Anthos have remained stably housed. Ensuring housing stability for families and youth is critical and a priority. ACS does not discharge youth to shelter. ACS is continuing to strengthen support systems and exploring new strategies to better connect child welfare-involved families and youth aging out of foster care to permanent affordable housing and maintaining housing stability. ACS provides the following resources: o The ACS housing subsidy grant, which can provide a recurring subsidy of up to $725 per month support for youth aging out of foster care -secure and maintain a market-rate apartment without a housing voucher. The Housing Grant also allows for a one-shot grant of up to $4,350 to help with security deposit, first month’s rent and furniture expenses. o Support with the HRA supportive housing application for youth exiting foster care o Support with the application for NYCHA public housing, where youth who are ACS involved receive a priority code (N-0). o Support with the application for Section 8 vouchers: Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), Family Unification Program (FUP) or Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) and referral to ANTHOS\|Home for housing navigation services. o Support with the application for CityFHEPS and referral to ANTHOS\|Home for housing navigation services To support youth, ACS has continued to expand and invest in Fair Futures and College Choice, as well as support vocational training. Fair Futures supports youth ages 11-26 who are in and have left foster care. The program provides tutoring supports and coaches (starting at age 14). In addition, ACS’s College Choice program, which provides tuition, housing and a daily stipend has doubled the number of youth in foster care attending college. Given the success of these programs, the city invested over $40 million in the Youth Safety and Success Initiative (YSSI), which expands four successful programs currently being implemented and one slated to launch in FY26. The programs include Fair Futures, College Choice, GirslJustUs and Assertive Community Engagement and Success (ACES) and one new program, Career Choice/Workforce Ready. These programs will reach a total of nearly 8,000 participants (an expansion of almost 3,000 young people) and help connect more youth with counseling, careers, college opportunities, and more. YSSI supports youth in both our foster care and juvenile justice programs. Starting in FY26, ACS will have $13 million more dollars to invest in Fair Futures programming, which enhances the $30.7 already baselined in our budget. Beginning in FY27 and beyond, another $23.5 million will be added.

1	Restoration of Afterschool Program Funding in Central Harlem	At the start of the 2024-2025 school year, many families found that the afterschool programs their children depend on are no longer available. To prevent this from occurring in future budget decisions, Manhattan Community Board 10 urges DYCD to invest $2.1 million dollars for afterschool funding and coordinate city and state resources for afterschool programmatic funds. Afterschool programs offer vital benefits, including academic support, enhanced social skills, and safe, supervised environments for children. Despite their importance, these programs have been cut from many traditional public schools in our community due to changes in the State's funding formula. The Office of Children and Family Services has consolidated several funding sources into a single Leap Program, requiring providers to reapply. As a result, many non-profit organizations that previously ran these programs did not secure funding. This funding crisis has left families and public schools scrambling for safe afterschool options. However, we believe that the issue extends beyond funding alone. A lack of coordination between New York State and New York City has exacerbated the problem, leaving children and families in our community without essential resources. We urge you to advocate for the formation of a joint task force, composed of representatives from both New York State and New York City agencies. This task force should examine the coordination gaps between state and city efforts and develop a comprehensive plan to address the immediate and long-term need for afterschool programs in communities like ours. Afterschool programs provide supervised environments that protect children from dangerous influences such as gang involvement, substance abuse, and other risky behaviors. They also alleviate the burden on older siblings and working parents, who otherwise may have to leave their children unattended or miss work, risking charges of neglect or abuse.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed. DYCD has begun a three-year, 20,000 seat expansion of the COMPASS afterschool program.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This request has already been completed.

1	Provide additional funding to connect more older adults to in-home case management services	According to the NYC Department for the Aging, over 16% of East Harlem's population is 65 or older, and many face challenges in accessing necessary care. Additionally, 12-15% of the East Harlem population has a reported disability according to city data. Providing additional funding to connect more older adults to in-home case management services as they return to the community is essential, in tandem with the VNS or other comparable temporary service that provides a recuperative bridge/transition often connected to homecare but not other necessary services that a case management social worker can put in place and/or oversee as the client advocate. This support will reduce hospital readmission rates and ensure that residents have the resources and support needed to maintain their independence and live safely at home. This includes faster service transitions from hospitals to home care, along with in-home healthcare, meal delivery, and social services.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Funding for additional social workers	East Harlem has the highest measured prevalence of current depression in New York City (21.4%), based on a Manhattan neighborhood analysis published in Cureus (2023). Psychiatric hospitalization rates in East Harlem are also nearly three times the citywide average, underscoring both the scale of unmet need and the urgency of preventive, community-based intervention. Bringing services into schools, NYCHA housing, and faith/community centers reduces stigma and transportation barriers. Many NYC programs (e.g., ThriveNYC's mental health clinics in schools) have already shown this model works, so scaling in East Harlem is realistic. Addressing stigma through community-based education and outreach is critical, but lasting change requires more frontline providers. To meet this need, we request funding for additional social workers dedicated to East Harlem, who can expand treatment access, deliver evidence-based interventions, and help reduce avoidable hospitalizations.		This request has already been completed. DOHMH would like to suggest mental health first aide training, naloxone training and 988 resources	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources.

While NYPD has a role to play, our community seeks to reduce the possibility of escalating and criminalizing behavior that is preferably viewed as a health & safety issue. FDNY and EMS are often the first responders when medical emergencies occur, and their presence and intervention discourages use. High priority corridors include 116th between Lexington and Madison, 125th between Lexington and Madison, 124th between Lexington and 3rd, Taino Towers area, 117th between Park and 1st Avenue, 110th between Lexington and Park.

The NYC Mayor's Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (updated 2023) reported that East Harlem has the highest rates of intimate partner violence in the city. Programs that can provide survivors with resources, support, and safety planning are critical. Additional funding is necessary for public health interventions that focus on prevention, education, and community-based outreach to help reduce domestic violence in this community. We are requesting increased funding to community based organizations that provide domestic violence services to victims such as but not limited to Safe Horizon. Additionally, survivors are often unaware of services available to them, which this proposal is requesting funds to increase program visibility in this community and reallocating grassroots efforts specifically to East Harlem.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed.

Recent NYC Department of Health data (see the Childhood Vaccination Data Explorer at nyc.gov) show coverage for key childhood vaccines in some East Harlem ZIP codes is only in the mid-50% range, while coverage in nearby Upper East Side ZIP codes exceeds 80-85%. These gaps put children and families at increased risk of outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles, whooping cough, and flu, and add to avoidable healthcare costs.

Furthermore, in recent years homelessness in NYC has reached its highest levels since the Great Depression. As of July 15, 2025 over 35,000 children were in NYC homeless shelters. Providing eligibility to single parent families that are homeless or at risk of homelessness for the NYC 15/15 supportive housing program will go a long way in reducing homelessness in NYC, especially child homelessness.

4	Specialized services for the LGBTQ+ community	There is an urgent need for funding to expand and enhance specialized services for the LGBTQ+ community in East Harlem, a community which faces unique challenges related to health disparities, discrimination, and violence. According to a 2022 report by the NYC Comptroller's Office, East Harlem has one of the highest rates of anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes in the city. In addition, a survey conducted by the NYC Anti-Violence Project (2023) found that LGBTQ+ youth in East Harlem are more likely to experience homelessness and violence than their peers elsewhere in Manhattan, with 40% of respondents reporting housing insecurity and 25% reporting violence based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. Substance use disorders are also disproportionately high within LGBTQ+ communities due to the compounded effects of stigma, discrimination, and mental health challenges. Addressing substance use through targeted mental health services and addiction recovery programs must be a key component of any LGBTQ+ support strategy. LGBTQ+ specific services are critically needed, including mental health support, legal services, housing assistance for at-risk LGBTQ+ individuals, and substance use interventions. Funding should prioritize expanding trauma-informed care, providing culturally competent healthcare, and increasing access to emergency shelters.

A study by Wallace, Chernet, Formica et al. (2023) found that 35 percent of surveyed high school students in East Harlem had personally witnessed gun violence. To address this crisis, funding is needed for comprehensive, evidence-based interventions. These programs should include violence prevention programs for at-risk youth, hiring additional violence interrupters, implementing hospital-based violence intervention programs, developing mechanisms to identify individuals at risk for gun violence, and educating the community on safe gun usage and storage.

5	Expand housing assistance, legal aid, and healthcare services for migrants	Provide funding to expand housing assistance, legal aid, and healthcare services for migrants in East Harlem. Programs should prioritize language access services, mental health care, and pathways to work authorization, addressing the specific needs of asylum seekers. Collaborations with organizations should be expanded to provide targeted outreach and comprehensive support. Additionally, funding should support vocational training and ESL programs to help migrants integrate and find employment. East Harlem has seen a significant increase in the arrival of migrants, particularly asylum seekers from Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. According to the NYC Department of Social Services, East Harlem has been one of the neighborhoods most impacted due to its high proportion of immigrants and its existing shelter and service infrastructure. The community has seen a dramatic rise in Venezuelan, Honduran, and Haitian asylum seekers, many of whom arrive with limited resources and face difficulties in accessing housing, healthcare, and employment. Migrants arriving in East Harlem face multiple barriers, including language difficulties, lack of legal representation, and limited access to social services. According to the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs (2023), nearly 30% of East Harlem's population is foreign-born, with a growing number of undocumented individuals and asylum seekers. The shelter system in the neighborhood is overwhelmed, with more migrants in need of housing, legal support for asylum applications, and healthcare services, including trauma-informed care for those fleeing violence or persecution.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed.

7	Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations	Provide dedicated funding for comprehensive and proactive rodent mitigation measures, including increased inspections, trash management improvements, and the deployment of advanced pest control technologies. East Harlem continues to struggle with a growing rodent population, which poses significant public health risks. Current funding levels are not adequate as East Harlem continues to experience an exponential increase in the rodent population. Rodent infestations contribute to the spread of diseases and exacerbate sanitation concerns. Additionally, efforts to address mosquito populations, especially in areas prone to standing water, are crucial to prevent mosquito-borne diseases. By investing in consistent and proactive pest control, the city can reduce the health risks and improve the quality of life for residents.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DOHMH is happy to discuss ways to partner on reducing rodent populations, including hosting Rat Academies for property owners and proper garbage disposal	Further investigation is required.

7	Expand food assistance	Provide, expand, or enhance food assistance. There is a growing number of East Harlem residents who are food insecure or lack access to basic, healthy foods.

According to NYC Department of Health data, East Harlem has a 1:17 ratio of supermarkets to bodegas, the second lowest in Manhattan. Furthermore, according to the East Harlem Community Health Profile, 18 percent of East Harlem residents do not eat at least one serving of fruit or vegetables per day (compared to 10% overall in Manhattan) and 30 percent drink at least one or more 12 oz. sugar drinks per day (compared to 16 percent overall in Manhattan).	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed.

SNAP provides critical nutritional support to low income families and individuals. We encourage community boards to reach out to local congressional representatives. Defer to DOHMH on health disparity concerns.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.	Dept. of Health & Mental Hygiene
8	Funding for specialized medical staff and peer support workers	East Harlem has one of the highest drug overdose death rates in New York City,56 per 100,000 residents, compared to the citywide average of 21.2 per 100,000 (NYC DOHMH). This crisis is concentrated along the 103rd, 110th, 116th, and 125th Street corridors, where overdoses, public drug use, and frequent emergency responses affect residents, families, and businesses daily. Current services are not sufficient to meet the scale of need, and without targeted community-level interventions, overdose deaths and related harms will remain unacceptably high. To address this crisis, we request funding for additional specialized medical staff and peer support workers in East Harlem, who can provide street-level engagement, connect at-risk populations to treatment, and reduce preventable deaths.	every year since FY2023	This request has already been completed.

12	Crotona Park Amphitheater	The Crotona Park Amphitheater in Community District Three is a valuable venue for community events, providing a space for performances, gatherings, and celebrations that bring together residents of all ages. However, the lack of a permanent or retractable covering over the stage poses a significant limitation, especially in inclement weather. We propose constructing a permanent or retractable covering for the amphitheater stage to enhance its functionality and ensure uninterrupted use during special events. A stage covering would shield performers, speakers, and attendees from exposure to intense sunlight, heavy rain, or snow, allowing events to continue comfortably and safely. This addition would be particularly valuable during the summer months when the sun can be intense, as well as during unexpected weather changes that could otherwise disrupt events. By incorporating heating and cooling features, the covering can create a climate-controlled environment, extending the amphitheater's usability across seasons. Such features would allow the space to be used more frequently, promoting year-round programming that is currently limited by seasonal temperature extremes. With a covering, the Crotona Park Amphitheater could accommodate a wider range of events without weather-related cancellations or discomfort. From summer concerts and outdoor movie nights to springtime community festivals and autumn performances, the covering would transform the amphitheater into a reliable, weather-resistant venue. Enhanced Community Engagement: The covering would foster greater community engagement by making the amphitheater a more inviting space for residents to gather, rain or shine. Events that are comfortable and accessible in various weather conditions are likely to attract higher attendance, fostering a stronger sense of community and encouraging ongoing participation in park-based activities. This request represents a long-term investment in the community's infrastructure. By protecting the stage area from exposure to the elements, the covering would also help preserve the amphitheater itself, reducing maintenance costs associated with weather-related wear and tear. A versatile amphitheater could also attract outside performers and events, boosting the local economy and enhancing the cultural offerings available to the community. This improvement to Crotona Park aligns with the community's ongoing efforts to create inclusive, safe, and welcoming public spaces. A permanent or retractable covering with climate control features would significantly enhance the functionality, durability, and appeal of the Crotona Park Amphitheater. This addition would allow the space to serve as a year-round venue, ensuring that residents can continue to enjoy and benefit from this vital community resource in all weather conditions.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. This proposal would require extensive research and funding.	This request is not recommended for funding.

The Amphitheater currently serves as a venue for concerts, youth performances, fitness programs, senior activities, and community events. However, its usability is severely limited by weather conditions, resulting in frequent cancellations due to rain, heat, or cold.

1	Strengthening Housing Equity in CB4	We recommend that DHS continue strengthening its partnerships with HPD and HRA to increase the number of affordable housing units available to individuals and families whose incomes align with the community average. Currently, many CD4 residents are rent-burdened, paying well above what they can afford. HRA can provide CityFHEPS rental assistance to individuals in need of housing support, an essential tool in stabilizing vulnerable households. It is imperative that any housing development or program seeking to build within the district engage the community before breaking ground.

1	Homelessness & Reentry Support	HOMESTAT should receive increased outreach and DHS funding to more effectively address street homelessness. Shelter conditions must be improved to ensure safety and dignity, and hospitality must reflect participants' rights and humanity, not just politeness. Enhanced security, integrated mental health services, and robust performance tracking across DHS partnerships, including transportation and retention, are essential. Additional staffing is needed to create safer, more supportive environments for all. Formerly incarcerated individuals often re-enter communities with limited support.

With residents under 25, DOHMH should expand youth outreach on safe sex, vaping, substance use, and physical activity. Programs like Wellness in the Schools and Shape Up NYC offer strong models. Seniors need tailored outreach on wellness, tech training, and social connection.

DYCD should continue to increase funding for the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) and make it year round. Summer Youth Employment programs are a gateway to assist youths in a positive direction to be employed and to invest in their neighborhoods economic development.

Organizations such as NAICA, Comunilife, Fortune Society, Project Renewal, Unique People Services, and Samaritan Village offer proven models for transitional and permanent housing.

2	Additional Permanent Staff	We are requesting additional permanent City Parks workers in Bronx CB4 who clean and cut grass in the parks on a regular basis. It would also allow Parks to staff more sites regularly with "fixed post" employees as opposed to the use of mobile crews to service certain sites. We believe that where possible, a dedicated presence of on-site maintenance staff can allow for more "caring" and detailed maintenance of the park. We are also in need of more Associate Park Service Workers, who haul away trash, drive large vehicles and lead crews in the field. In addition, seasonal staff augments the fulltime staff during peak season and are essential to the level of maintenance needed.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

Free after-school care allows parents to work and maintain employment, keeps children safe, and enhances children's educational attainment. It also allows families to use scarce financial resources on other pressing needs. Afterschool programs and youth employment are essential needs for the youth in the District Capitol. Accordingly, we request that DYCD increase funding at existing organizations district-wide to provide after school programs.

DHS remains open to ongoing conversations about additional ways to expand and improve Wi-Fi access.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: DHS shares the goal that every shelter should have reliable Wi-Fi. In practice, this can be challenging, as some of our facilities are quite old and not well suited for Wi-Fi installation due to building construction or connectivity limitations (e.g., thick cement walls). That said, all families with children sites either have Wi-Fi or are actively in the queue to receive it. For single adult and adult family (AF) sites, Wi-Fi is not currently a requirement; however, many of these shelters do provide Wi-Fi in common areas, and some also offer computer labs. For sites that do not have on-site Wi-Fi, we work to ensure that clients are informed about where and how they can access Wi-Fi as needed. DHS remains open to ongoing conversations about additional ways to expand and improve Wi-Fi access.

NYCDOT often abandons its own property which is where illegal dumping may occur. This is in addition to privately owned vacant lot where garbage and litter pile.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
5	Other expense budget request for DOE	The Department of Education should expannd social and emotional programming by purchasing fish tanks, teaching children horticulture and having emotional support dogs.

5	New equipment for maintenance	Community Board #10 is surrounded by bodies of water. The Parks Department should have a fully funded division dedicated to removing abandoned boats.	every year since FY2024	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. The agency is unclear as to what "new equipment" refers. No new equipment is needed; the agency has implemented a contract to execute this work. Additional expense funding will enable the agency to be more responsive to this expressed need. The degree to which the agency the agency is able to be responsive to this need is dependent on the level of funding provided annually. Additional funding will enable the agency to increase responsiveness and volume. If provided additional funding, the agency can be more responsive to this expressed need.

1	Noise cameras	Our district, like many across the city, has seen a rash of street racing, loud cars and motorcycles, and other loud vehicle use. Our many wide streets encourage fast driving and donuts in intersections, and reporting violations to 311 or calling police is futile; these are, by definition, transient crimes - they are committed while moving. We need automated enforcement to preserve our quiet enjoyment of our neighborhood, and DEP noise cameras would be an excellent tool to advance that goal.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Bx39 Bus Shelter lighting	Location: Pelham Parkway & White Plains Rd. The bus stop under the 2 train Pelham Parkway stop on both sides of White Plains Rd. is very poorly lit, which leads to a dangerous situation. People waiting for the bus could trip and fall into the roadway, may not be seen by drivers, and the low lighting could put people at increased risk for assault or robbery. Upgraded lighting under the subway stop would alleviate these issues.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. This is not a capital request. Please send inquiries to the Bronx Commissioner's Office.

1	Safety and Accessibility Enhancements to Pelham Parkway/Fordham Rd Sidewalk	Location: Pelham Parkway - Boston Rd & Southern Blvd The sidewalk connecting Southern Blvd. and Boston Rd. along Pelham Parkway/Fordham Rd. is heavily used but in poor shape and has steep road crossings (far out of compliance with ADA), making it difficult for many people to use this path. In addition, on the eastern end of the northern path, between the Bronx River Parkway onramp and Boston Rd., the sidewalk simply ends feet from a bike lane. Many crossings are over square curbs, making it dangerous for many users (especially those with mobility issues) to cross. The Department of Transportation has advised that this area is managed by Parks, so I ask that it be considered for safety upgrades.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

2	Add Pedestrian-level Lighting along Bronx Park East	Location: Bronx Park East - Unionport Rd & Adee Ave Current lighting is all street-level lighting, which does not effectively illuminate pedestrian areas or adjacent park facilities. Adding lower pedestrian level lighting will enhance safety along the corridor, in the Municipal Parking lot at Bronxdale and Bronx Park East, and allow residents to use areas just inside the park (such as the exercise area between Britton and Arnow Avenues) in fall and winter, when it is dark before 5 PM.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports and can accommodate.

3	Pelham Parkway lighting	Location: Pelham Parkway - Stillwell Ave & White Plains Rd. Lighting along Pelham Parkway lights both the roadway and the adjacent greenway, but uses the same lights for each application (while they are not exactly highway Cobra lights, they are similar).

4	Upgrade or create new plazas	The Pedestrian Plaza at Bronxdale and Antin Place in front of 2016 Bronxdale Ave is in need of equitable access to the residents in the community. There are boulders placed in the middle of the plaza but benches for residential use is needed. Without the benches and/or tables the plaza is just an empty space and not truly a plaza for pedestrians to enjoy.

5	Bus priority lights	Location: Boston Rd & Pelham Parkway The intersection at Boston rd and Pelham Parkway is one of the most heavily used in our district and is frequently congested. Additionally, 7 active bus routes traverse this intersection, and 3 of them - Bx12 SBS westbound, and Bx22 (both directions) must cross over 1 or more lanes of traffic in the space of this intersection. This requirement leads to aggressive driving on the part of both buses and cars, creating danger for everyone on and near the roads. Adding bus priority lights - like those that have recently been added to the intersection at Southern Blvd. and Fordham Rd., where buses do not cross over other lanes of travel - to allow buses to safely cross the intersection before private cars would allow them to position themselves in the appropriate lane without fighting cars for space.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

5	Greenway upgrades needed	Greenways (ours include the Bronx River Greenway, Hutchinson River Greenway, and Pelham Parkway Greenway) are touted as places for people who are not in cars to get around, yet most of them are not purposefully lit at all - any light they get is ancillary to what is intended for a road used by cars. This means that greenways, which frequently have tree roots, potholes, sand patches, and other hazards, become substantially more dangerous as the sun goes down, which happens quite early for much of the year. This leaves people without cars with a dilemma: risk a car not seeing or not yielding to us and getting hit on the road or risk a crash and the ensuing injuries on the Greenways. Our greenways need proper lighting and far better care, both in maintaining smooth surface and clearing debris regularly, especially after mowing.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

7	Morris Park Avenue safety and accessibility improvments	Location: Morris Park Ave - Eastchester Rd & E 180 St Morris Park Ave, the heart of the community, needs to have its unprotected bike lanes combined to one side to make a two way protected bike lane. The unprotected bike lane currently has a few problems. First and foremost, it is not a bike lane. It is a parking lane for cars to double park. This is almost understandable as there is no safe and convenient alternative for local trips without a safe place for bikes and scooters. The second is that even when the unprotected bike lane is clear, people on bikes and scooters are at constant risk of getting doored by people exiting their cars AND getting hit by cars with phone distracted drivers who drive into the bike lane. A Morris Park Ave protected bike lane would also provide a closer connection to the Bronx River Greenway, allowing our residents the ability to safely get to Randall's Island and other boroughs.

1	Vehicle infractions	Our district is swamped with illegally parked cars. The average response time for a 311 report is over 4 hours, well over the average time in the Bronx as a whole and nearly double the citywide average, meaning any illegally parked car can effectively leave their vehicle where they like for as long as they like with no consequences. This makes our streets and crosswalks less safe, interferes with quality of life due to blocked in drivers honking, makes the few protected bike lanes we have almost unusable as trucks, delivery vehicles, and private vehicles park in them with impunity. We desperately need our traffic laws to be enforced, and we need personnel to do that.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Other NYPD facilities and equipment requests	Community Board 12 requests that the NYPD equip each patrol vehicle with a sound meter to better facilitate noise complaints. It is our understanding that usually there is only one sound meter assigned to each precinct. Additionally it is often calibrated and cannot be used during this lengthy process. Finally, we understand that each officer should be trained to handle these meters to respond to 311 complaints.	every year since FY2021	This request has already been completed.

1	Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement)	Request: Provide Funding for Additional PEP Officers or Transfer money to the NYPD so that they take the roll of the PEP Officers in all NYC Parks. Explanation: Additional PEP officers are needed to patrol our parks and playgrounds. Vandalism has increased and there is a need for additional PEP officers to patrol the parks. It is inconceivable that year after year, park patrons in Community Board #12 have to endure numerous quality of life issues because existing PEP officers are not present.

1	Provide, expand, or enhance the Summer Youth Employment Program	Increase funding for SYEP and look to end the yearly budget dance. Base line the increases so that those participating in the program can build upon their programs to offer better outcomes and services for our youth. We should look to models used in other City's like Philadelphia and work with the private sector to offer more meaningful summer jobs to youth. Use the SYEP program as the doorway to internships that would otherwise not be available to those of us that do not have someone advocating on their behalf. Offer multi-year placements so that our youth have an opportunity to grow with one particular employer. End the lottery system to make sure that once a youth enters the SYEP program they can stay in it. Incentivize the hiring of youth similar to what SBS does.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed.

3	Safety redesign	Location: Kent, Quay, West, Commercial More pedestrian space is needed for the large and growing number of Greenway active users. Sidewalk space is insufficient for shoppers, runners, walkers, wheelchair users, those pushing strollers, and dog walkers. The success of the bike lane means that it is now too narrow to accommodate current or future usage. The city should study options for expanding pedestrian space and right-sizing the bike lanes to improve safety for all users. The Kent retail corridor also needs loading zones to support businesses and daylighting throughout to minimize conflicts and provide a safe environment for all street users.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

There is a long waiting list for repairs that are prioritized based on a rating system. Commends received at the Community Board's Public Hearing have called for immediate attention to this worsening problem, which puts pedestrians at risk and imposes an unfair burden on property owners, who should not be held responsible since the city planted these trees. Although qualified under the rating system, homeowners have waited for years.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.
1	District Office Infrastructure Investments	BKCB2 recommends a comprehensive assessment of our operating and technical needs, and a commensurate increase in our baseline operating budget. There has been no Citywide assessment of Community Board technical needs since Windstream acquired PAETEC's municipal contracts in 2011. Windstream has consistently failed to provide reliable phone and internet service or equipment since beginning bankruptcy proceedings in 2019. This is just one example of widespread underinvestment in the basic needs of Community Board operations. A recurring theme expressed by our City agency partners across all of this year's Borough Budget Consultations was, ""We are budgeted to address [X program/concern], but we need more support with direct local outreach."" The general public is also increasingly expectant that government offices utilize modern tools and offer digital connectivity. As the most local unit of nonpartisan City government, Community Boards need an infusion of infrastructure, equipment, and staff support to meet modern challenges, effectively partner with City agencies, efficiently serve our residents, and support greater community engagement. The scope of assessment and investment must include basic office and field equipment updates; a survey of phone, internet, and broadcasting infrastructure and gaps; a survey of staff training and upskilling needs; and baselining of fundamental SaaS tools including design and communication (newsletter) software, and news, database, and research subscriptions. To be clear, this requires a significant periodic investment above our extremely modest $13-$15k average annual OTPS allotment. We recommend commitment to a 4-year cycle of regular operational and technical assessments and upgrades.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. This is not a DCAS request.

Particulate matter that is 2.5μm or smaller (""PM2.5"") penetrates deep into the lungs and bloodstream, causing chronic and often lethal heart and lung disease. Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) such as gas-powered vehicles are the leading source of PM2.5. Long term exposure to PM2.5 contributes to 1 out of 25 deaths in NYC, and per the 2018 Community Health Profile, the levels of fine particulate matter and the rate of child asthma emergency room visits are notably higher in BKCD2 than in NYC as a whole. BKCD2 contains 1.5 miles (12%) of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) within its boundaries and has 3 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas in Brooklyn's 10 highest PM2.5 levels--the most of any Brooklyn Community District. This request is particularly urgent given the Trump Administration's recent reversal of the Biden Administration's EPA limits on PM2.5.	every year since FY2025	This request has already been completed.

2	Redesign Flushing Ave	BKCB2 recommends funding for redesign or study of Flushing Avenue from Bridge Street to Kent Ave, to mitigate dangerous pedestrian conditions. As indicated in our FY24 CD Needs Statement, "Given the growing congestion of high-speed, east-west vehicular and bicycle traffic, and growing numbers of pedestrians attempting to cross to Wegmans, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the water ferry, this thoroughfare has become ever more treacherous. It is an accident waiting to happen. The Board requests better signage, lane markings, and haptic enhancements to differentiate the pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular lanes." The Board was deeply saddened by the recent death of Brooklyn Navy Yard employee Theresa Valenti and urges the City to remedy these conditions before another tragedy occurs.	since FY2024	Agency supports and can accommodate.

2	A Dedicated Electronic & Textile Waste Drop-Off Site	BKCB2 recommends funding for a public electronic and textile waste drop off site in a central location near public transit to expand regular access for disposal. Currently, ecycleNYC bins are available only to residential buildings with 10 or more units, while re-fashioNYC bins serve larger buildings, institutions, and certain industries. A public drop-off site would expand access and divert significant amounts of electronics and textiles from landfills, providing a vital service and strengthening the city's waste reduction efforts.

This need was addressed in December 2025.	The agency will accommodate part of this request within existing resources.
3	A Brooklyn Tourist Center	BKCB2 recommends funding for a feasibility study regarding creation of a Brooklyn tourist center. Local residents continue to be frustrated by unmanaged tourist traffic on and surrounding the Brooklyn Bridge. There is some local sentiment that this could be relieved by creation of a public destination to corral tourists, create a safe space to rest and conduct commerce, and ensure safe traffic patterns. We include it here as a reflection of public opinion, and to shine a light on the underlying problem of unmanaged tourist traffic on and surrounding the Brooklyn Bridge.	since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

3	WIM Sensors for Residential Streets Near BQE	BKCB2 recommends extending funding for DOT WIM enforcement technology to residential streets adjacent to and surrounding BQE exits in BKCD2. Weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology allows the City to automatically enforce truck weight restrictions on the aging, NYC-owned portion of the BQE. To avoid fines, trucks often reroute to nearby residential streets, decreasing quality of life and creating significant congestion when they frequently get stuck. Extending WIM to residential streets adjacent to the BQE would encourage trucks to seek alternate routes.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Expanding WIM beyond current authorized areas would require NYS legislation.

6	Off-Street Parking for 84th & 88th Precincts	BKCB2 recommends funding for dedicated parking facilities for the 84th & 88th Precincts. The NYPD has insufficient safe parking proximate to their precinct houses and employees resort to parking on public sidewalks. We respect and honor our public safety colleagues, but this is a decades-long public nuisance that impedes access to public thoroughfares for seniors, parents with strollers, and residents with special mobility needs; adds to community tensions and negative attitudes regarding the NYPD; and diminishes the street design and pedestrian safety of our neighborhoods.	since FY2024	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

The agency has recommended funding for this request in part. OMB supports the agency's position.
1	More Mobile Street Outreach for Unhoused Residents	BKCB2 recommends increased funding for DHS Joint Command Center (JCC) services. While our District accounts for a relatively modest percent of the Citywide shelter population, our central location, density of municipal services, and high accessibility to transit and public spaces leads to more concentration, visibility, and often violent interactions.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Street outreach services are available 24/7, 365 days a year. By calling 311 or using the 311 app when a homeless individual appears to be in need of assistance, any New Yorker can dispatch an outreach team to that person and help them move indoors.

At a May 13 City Council hearing, NYC Parks reported an active headcount of 344 PEP officers with "approximately" 60 officers per borough". With ~877 parks sites in Brooklyn alone, this is an untenable per-officer caseload of quality-of-life issues, homeless outreach, canine waste patrol, illegal dumping, littering, illegal vending, and general public safety needs.

1	Expand Multi-Agency Response Teams for Mental Health Crises	BKCB2 recommends increased funding for B-HEARD multi-agency response teams deployed for non-emergency calls. The Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD) is limited in its hours of operation, its geographic distribution, and in the types of calls considered eligible for a response. This means that many people who may need a B-HEARD team are instead provided a "traditional response" by the NYPD. B-HEARD currently covers only 31 of the 79 NYPD Precincts. BKCB2 requests expansion of the B-HEARD program to the 84th and 88th Precincts within BKCD2.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Public Outreach Budget for the District Office	BKCB2 requests a baselined annual budget increase of $26,160 to send an annual direct mailer to the ~80,000 households in BKCD2 to inform them of the City Charter-mandated municipal information, resident assistance, and civic participation opportunities available to them through their Community Board and District Office. Printing: $0.08/postcard = $6,400 USPS EDDM bulk postage: $0.247/postcard = $19,760 Investing in Community Boards is an investment in accountable, equitable, and responsive government for every New Yorker. Community Boards play a uniquely democratic role in shaping development, addressing neighborhood concerns, ensuring residents have a voice in city decisions, and educating residents about municipal systems and functions. Yet we operate with one third of the staff of City Council offices despite serving a similar-sized population, and are typically allocated an OTPS budget of less than $15k per year. Increasing our baseline budget specifically for outreach purposes would strengthen our ability to reach and engage the public, conduct meaningful planning, and respond effectively to community needs. Outreach will become even more urgent in the coming decade as Community Board term limits take effect, thereby decreasing institutional knowledge and increasing the need for new Member recruitment.

As of the FY 2027 Executive Budget, each Community Board's budget is being maintained.
1	Retail Attraction & Retention	BKCB2 recommends funding to increase support for retail attraction and retention. There are still too many vacant storefronts in all of our 9 Business Improvement Districts.

2	Study Containerization Impact on Recycling	BKCB2 recommends funding for DSNY to conduct a study to determine if and how containerization impacts recycling rates. The full recyclables diversion rate of metal, glass, paper, organics, textiles, and e-waste in BKCD2 is 27.6%, which is high relative to the Brooklyn average of 17%. The containerization roll-out should not result in backsliding. BKCD2 is well-positioned for such a study given the mix of high and low rise buildings, row houses, and large NYCHA developments, and because it is the next District selected for an Empire Bins pilot.

SBS works closely with all BIDs, including the 9 BIDs in CB2 to support the commercial corridor needs including, but not limited to, supplemental sanitation and public realm improvements. In this Fiscal Year, we awarded Small BID Support Grants to the Atlantic Avenue BID, Montague Street BID, Fulton Area Business (FAB) Alliance BID, and the Myrtle Avenue BID. These efforts underscore our investment in commercial corridors not just in BKCB2 but across the city.

3	Multi-Agency Vending Enforcement	BKCB2 recommends funding for a feasibility study regarding creation of a mulit-agency task force to reduce unauthorized and non-compliant street vendors. Several of our commercial corridors continue to experience rampant disregard for the laws that protect the health and safety of our District's millions of annual visitors, and the daily quality of life and sanitation expectations of our District's residents. Just as the Office of Nightlife has seen success with coordinated multi-agency enforcement and education efforts such as M.A.R.C.H and C.U.R.E, we hope that the creativity and resourcefulness of our agencies working together might yield comparable solutions for better street vendor education, compliance, and enforcement. BIDs might be a suitable and motivated partner in this work, perhaps as a means for street vendors to begin to be integrated into the community support systems and business resources available to bricks & mortar operators sharing the same corridors.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Other expense budget request for MOCJ	Increase and extend budget for Cure Violence programming and the NYC Crisis Management System. Although we have had a decline in gun violence and gun-related incidents in varying neighborhoods in our city - it was proven through COVID, these numbers have the potential of increasing with a vengeance given the climate. We must continue to invest in the men and women who make a difference in preventative measures. Violence is a serious health epidemic and in CB5, homicide is amongst the top five causes of premature death. Therefore we have to expand on funding that focuses on prevention and intervention.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: Please contact the agency directly and promptly for more information.
1	Other NYPD staff resources requests	Please provide update - has there been any movement within the last and/or current administration to accommodate this request? CB5 has the highest incidences of illegally parked vehicles and abandoned vehicles in the city. Our numbers have risen due to the amount of local auto shops and garages that park their junk or for-sale vehicles on public streets; and other abandoned vehicles that are randomly left on public streets for years.

1	Renovate, upgrade or provide new community board facilities and equipment	Sufficient funds are requested for the design and construction of a window replacement project for 250 Baltic Street in the Cobble Hill Historic District. This 1936 building still has the original single-paned and uninsulated windows making them highly inefficient energy-wasting devices which negatively contribute to the building tenants' comfort and safety. Modern, energy- efficient windows appropriately designed to area's historic district would go a long way toward reducing heating and cooling costs, improving safety, and creating a vastly improved work environment for the State, City and non- profit entities that occupy the space in this City- owned building. While the City-State have talked about changing ownership status of this building for more than a decade, it will crumble	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Invest in infrastructure that will support growth in commercial business districts	Sufficient funds are requested for the planning and construction of a cross harbor freight tunnel to link New York and New Jersey by rail to 1) provide for the efficient movement of bulk goods through the region, 2) reduce the amount of truck traffic with its corresponding impacts on traffic volumes, air quality, public safety, etc., and 3) expand opportunities for economic growth in the region. Transportation is one of the most significant obstacles to growth in the region, as our bridges, tunnels and highways experience on a daily basis. Without taking advantage of the area's features - its waterfront and untapped rail potential - further economic growth in the region is threatened. Replacing truck use by rail and barge options should be our top priority. (REQUEST IS FOR PANYNJ!)	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Provide a new or expanded health care facility	Funds are requested for the opening of a more permanent indoor Red Hook COVID testing and vaccination location. This could be resolved be reopening the H+H location at Red Hook Recreation Center. While we hope COVID-19 will continue to decrease, variants and waves show that flexibility is essential in order to reach high-need areas as surges happen and positivity rates change. The existing mobile vans are often absent or out of commission and there is no way to schedule a test nor call the van to check if it is there on a given day. For residents with disabilities, that means a potentially perilous walk in the cold or snow to see whether the van there. CB6 does not have an H+H facility and thus lacks access to rapid point-of-care testing.	since FY2023	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. NYC Health + Hospitals transitioned the NYC Test & Treat Corps in May 2023 as a result of the expiration of the Federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declaration.

1	Other public housing upgrades or renovations requests	Funds are requested to eliminate mold and other infrastructure problems in NYCHA buildings in CB6. NYCHA buildings in Red Hook were built in the 1930s and have had dangerous mold and infrastructure problems for years, which are only increasing with climate change. While we understand NYCHA is operating without the full funding it deserves, we want to reinforce that the declining quality of NYCHA housing in our district is threatening the health of our community members, adding extra respiratory risk to the most COVID-vulnerable among us who live in high-density housing.	since FY2022	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Improve accessibility of transit infrastructure, by providing elevators, escalators, etc.	Due to the pending increase in population just one block north due to the now approved Gowanus Rezoning, and given that a significant portion of that new population expected to be seniors, sufficient funds are requested for the identification, design, and construction of handicapped access elements, preferably elevators, for the Smith-9th Street subway the station, which happens to be the highest elevated public transit point in the entire world. Despite a recent comprehensive station rehabilitation, escalators at this station are still prone to frequent service disruptions.

1	Other NYPD facilities and equipment requests	Sufficient funds are requested for the acquisition of radar speed signs to provide advisories to motorists in areas where speeding is suspected or confirmed. Radar Speed Signs can provide a constant monitoring presence to help raise awareness and act as a potential deterrent. Compliance with the City's new 25MPH speed limit relies on an enforcement presence which, at best, can be challenging given limitations of manpower and competing deployment priorities; to some degree these signs can help augment these limitations.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

Its residential population is in need of a local job center where employment training, recruiting and referral services can be offered in addition to courses that promote local entrepreneurship, and generally support the development of the local workforce preparing them for jobs. Because of its geographic isolation and transportation hurdles, Red Hook residents cannot easily access services in Downtown Brooklyn.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Although SBS does not have additional funding for a new Workforce1 Center or its equivalent in Red Hook, the agency can meet community needs through existing resources. SBS can do targeted outreach, particularly through our workforce-focused Mobile Unit, to promote training opportunities in multiple sectors. SBS also operates two Workforce1 centers in neighborhoods near Red Hook: Brooklyn Army Terminal 140 58th Street, Building “B”; Lobby, Brooklyn, NY 11220 9 Bond Street, 5th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
1	Provide a new or expand an existing middle/intermediate school	Sufficient funds are requested for the design and construction of a soundproofing project at the PS 321 gymnasium at 180 7th Avenue in Park Slope. The poor acoustics in the gymnasium prevents it from being effectively used a multi-purpose space in a school that is historically crowded and in need of additional space. A relatively small project to soundproof the gymnasium would enhance school space utilization, making it more suitable for a wider variety of uses.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Cannot commit to at this time, for possible future consideration.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: Cannot commit to at this time, for possible future consideration.
2	Create a new, or renovate or upgrade an existing public library	Funds in the amount of $3.0M are requested for the design and construction of roof and restoration of skylights ($1.0M) and exterior renovations ($2.0M) for the Park Slope branch library. The Park Slope library was recently reopened after an extensive interior renovation. This heavily-utilized branch and beloved community institution is one of the three landmarked Carnegie branches in the BPL system. A total exterior renovation would include brick work, refurbished wrought-iron fencing, stonework/repair of concrete entrance stairs, improved signage, landscaping, and sidewalk repair work.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports this request and has identified these capital improvements as an unfunded need.	It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.
2	Roadway maintenance (resurfacing, trench restoration, etc.)	Sufficient funds should be allocated toward the inclusion of special treatment street resurfacing work in the department's development of future contract work to incorporate the restoration, preservation and maintenance of cobblestone streets. This construction material serves as a traffic calming device, is far more durable than commonly used asphalt material, is a signature characteristic of streets in our Red Hook community and enhances the historic integrity of the community.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Please reach out to elected representatives regarding this request since the cost for this non-standard construction material is beyond our current budget.	Please contact the Borough Commissioner's office for Traffic Calming Device requests.
2	Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	Sufficient funds are requested for the design and construction of a new park--Columbia Waterfront Park--on the City-owned properties along the westside of Columbia Street between Kane and Degraw Streets. These properties are currently in the Department of Transportation's portfolio but they have agreed to release them for the development of a future park to be built there. Much work has already gone into conceptualizing a park use of the space which, with an adequate budget, can be easily adapted into designs and construction plans.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The Columbia Waterfront site is not within NYC Park' jurisdiction. Improvements to the site are not funded.	Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: The Columbia Waterfront site is not within NYC Park' jurisdiction. Improvements to the site are not funded.
2	Renovate or upgrade NYCHA community facilities or open space	Funds are requested to improve outdoor public space and mitigate urban heat island effects at Red Hook Houses to compensate for the 457 trees, 14 water sprinkler systems and many community spaces eliminated as part of FEMA construction work. The heat generated by these removals has created dangerous health conditions for residents, especially young children and older residents. Specific remediation should be determined in consultation with residents but this may include replanting trees, installing new benches, soil testing and drainage study, and/or new outdoor recreation facilities.	since FY2022	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	Further investigation of this request is needed. Contact the agency.
2	Repair or upgrade subway stations or other transit infrastructure	Sufficient funding is requested for the design and construction of handicapped access elements, preferrably elevators, for the Grand Army Plaza subway station, which is not only an important intermodal transfer within the transit system but also provides primary access to a number of Brooklyn's most visited cultural institutions--such as the Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park, and the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch--and is a gateway to the Flatbush Avenue and Park Slope commercial corridors.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
2	Other NYPD facilities and equipment requests	Sufficient funds are requested for the acquisition and deployment of Variable Message Boards (VMBs), at least one per precinct, to be used to advise the public of upcoming street closures, events, alerts and other vital information that would enhance public safety and preparedness. The strategic placement of VMBs can provide important directions, reduce traffic congestion, and otherwise assist NYPD in messaging information to the public. Precinct Commanders should have the flexibility to deploy VMBs as needed and in response to ongoing changing conditions within the precinct.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Additional NYPD resources for this project are unavailable at this time due to funding constraints. However, the program will continue to operate within current funding levels.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
2	Renovate other site component	Funds in the amount of at least $150,000 are requested for the design and construction of a soundproofing project at the PS 39 cafeteria at 417 6th Avenue in Park Slope. The tiny cave-like basement cafeteria is the largest open space in the school. The low tin roof and cement walls do little to absorb the loud whir of giant freezers or the noise of the fans used to cool the space due to the lack of air conditioning and window space. When you add more than 350 students during lunchtime the sounds reverberate around the room. The noise drowns out any conversations happening at the tables. By adding wall & ceiling mounted sound panels, extraneous noise will be lessened to manageable levels.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. FUNDING NOT AVAILABLE.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: FUNDING NOT AVAILABLE.
3	Reconstruct streets	Sufficient funds are requested to remediate the problems associated with the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway Trench running through our district parallel to Hicks Street. The BQE Trench inhibits local access and mobility between the Columbia Waterfront, Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill neighborhoods. The concentration of traffic flowing through the trench creates vibrations, noise, odors and other air emissions that impact the residential communities adjacent to the trench. The trench provides opportunities to create new open space and expand resiliency measures (photovoltaics, storm water capture/diversion, etc.). Building on the momentum of a prior study's findings, remedies and opportunities must now be considered, funded and constructed.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
4	Other transportation infrastructure requests	Sufficient funds are requested for the construction of traffic safety median islands in the Furman-Atlantic-Columbia transition area, the approach to Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6 public park, and area growing in popularity and increasingly traveled by pedestrians and recreation users. Prior to the opening of Pier 6, this area was generally unused by pedestrians and was almost exclusively a southbound route used by commuters seeking to avoid the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Now, with the opening of Pier 6 and the two-way conversion of Furman Street, vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns have completely altered the use and complexion of this bustling area. Immediate in- house improvements have done a lot to improve safety, at the cost of aesthetics.	since FY2021	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Please reach out to our office to discuss specifics.	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
5	Other transportation infrastructure requests	Sufficient funds are requested to undertake a replacement of the existing standard-issue cobra head street lights with appropriate historic replica street lights in the neighborhoods of Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. Currently, only Atlantic Avenue, Clinton Street and Smith Street in these neighborhoods have such amenities. The balance of the neighborhood's street lights should be replaced to enhance and restore the historic integrity of these landmark districts and historically-sensitive areas.	since FY2021	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. This is not a budget request. Please make requests for specific lighting studies on our website here: https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-02463	This is not a budget request.
6	Repair or construct sidewalks, curbs, or pedestrian ramps	In addition to the regular cement sidewalk replacement activity, we request that the department broaden its scope to include the option of restoring by contract those sidewalks which include special treatments, notably bluestone material. Not only is bluestone a more durable material with significantly longer life expectancy, it also serves to enhance the historic integrity and value of the community. Many property owners are willing to pay the extra cost to have this option, especially given the City's ability to leverage lower cost through bulk contracting.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Please reach out to elected representatives regarding this request since the cost for this non-standard construction material is beyond our current budget.	Sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. For curb repair, please submit specific locations to the Borough Commissioner for review. For Pedestrian Ramps, the Adopted Budget includes a Citywide allocation. Specific locations are determined by DOT.
7	Reconstruct streets	Sufficient funds are requested for the acquisition, mapping, design and construction of a new City street which would extend Conover Street northward from Pioneer Street to Hamilton Avenue in Red Hook. This new street will not only provide additional capacity to handle the new traffic volumes destined for the cruise ship terminal under construction at Pier 12, but will also provide an alternative for the relocation of the Van Brunt Street leg of the City's local Truck Route network in Red Hook. It will ensure that the local street grid is not only not negatively impacted by the cruise terminal traffic but that it will benefit from relieving Van Brunt Street of trucks and removing the existing conflict by directing trucks closer to the industrial section of the neighborhood.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Not feasible at the moment	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: Not feasible at the moment
CS	Other capital budget request for DEP	DEP: Sufficient funds are requested for the area wide installation of green infrastructure including, but not limited to, bioswales, offline retention capacities, rain barrels, pervious surface treatments, and other best management practices, to aggressively prevent storm water from entering into the sewer system. Reduction of storm water entry into the system is necessary to reduce the amount of Combined Sewer Overflow events that occur, particularly within the Gowanus watershed area.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
CS	Other transportation infrastructure requests	Sufficient funds are requested to fully fund project #SEK20068 for preliminary design investigations, final design and ultimate repair of the 9th Street and Second Avenue corridors abutting the Gowanus Canal. Issues that need to be addressed include negative and insufficient curbs that have resulted in flooding and drainage problems, defective and missing sidewalks and episodic infrastructure failures on 2nd Ave. Frequent and substantial roadway ponding occurs along 9th Street--a mapped Coastal Evacuation Route--which, coupled with new and growing demands in pedestrian and vehicular traffic, requires that the street be a more reliable emergency traffic conveyor and able to withstand rainfall events without	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

CS	Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming	In conjunction with the city's infrastructure work being planned under HWK700B, sufficient funds are requested to undertake the design investigation and construction of appropriate amenities and traffic calming devices to facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians and traffic. Such amenities could include, but not be limited to, the reintroduction of cobblestone treatments, historic lighting, granite curbs, etc. The scope of the existing street reconstruction project should be expanded to include a full electrical upgrade for all of Red Hook with the goal of burying the vulnerable, above-ground electrical lines and ensuring that the grid is modern and able to withstand future events like Hurricane Sandy which plunged the area into darkness for months.	since FY2021	Agency supports and can accommodate. The HWK700B capital project will include several safety measures in the form of curb extensions, pedestrian safety islands, and bike infrastructure.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: The HWK700B capital project will include several safety measures in the form of curb extensions, pedestrian safety islands, and bike infrastructure.
CS	Reconstruct streets	Sufficient funds are requested for the design and construction of new traffic medians on 4th Avenue between Pacific Street and 8th Streets that would improve pedestrian and vehicular safety along this busy traffic corridor. New medians would include protected pedestrian refuge areas and raised, planted medians with irrigation systems, that would prevent unsafe and unpredictable pedestrian behavior which occurs frequently and is likely a contributing cause to high accident rates along the corridor.	since FY2021	Agency supports and can accommodate. The medians on 4th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and 8th Street will be raised and upgraded as part of HWK1669B Phase B which is currently in design.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: The medians on 4th Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and 8th Street will be raised and upgraded as part of HWK1669B Phase B which is currently in design.
CS	Reconstruct streets	Funds in the amount of $26,300,000 are requested to undertake a reconstruction of the Union Street Bridge (HBK1213), a double-leaf Scherzer Bascule bridge which spans the Gowanus Canal. This bridge received a FAIR rating yet is one of the few east-west connectors that provide access and mobility throughout our district. It is a vital corridor that links our waterfront to inland points. Deferred public investment increases the vulnerability of this structure as unanticipated structural failures may occur, resulting in increased cost and time of repair and unwarranted impacts on the surrounding community. We would also like a modified riding surface for the bicycle lane section of the bridge to make it safer and more comfortable for the cyclists who use this segment of the network.	since FY2021	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. The Union Street Bridge remains in the Bridges Capital Plan. Interim repairs have been made by DOT in-house forces to facilitate the continuing USEPA cleanup of the Gowanus Canal.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively Explanation: The Union Street Bridge remains in the Bridges Capital Plan. Interim repairs have been made by DOT in-house forces to facilitate the continuing USEPA cleanup of the Gowanus Canal.
CS	Rehabilitate bridges	Sufficient funds are requested for a full rehabilitation of the 3rd Street Bridge (HBKC068), a double-leaf Bascule Bridge spanning the Gowanus Canal, to improve long- term viability of the structure. For the sake of access and mobility through the district, there are only a handful of east-west connectors that span the Gowanus Canal, on which the community is wholly reliant. Deferred investment increases the likelihood of structural failures, more costly repairs, and longer periods of disruption and inconvenience to the community when the bridge is out of service. We would also like a modified riding surface for the bicycle lane section of the bridge to make it safer and more comfortable for the cyclists who use this segment of the network.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. The Third Street Bridge has a condition rate of "Fair" so it is not currently in the capital plan.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: The Third Street Bridge has a condition rate of "Fair" so it is not currently in the capital plan.
CS	Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	Sufficient funds are requested to undertake a series of Capital improvements to Prospect Park including, but not limited to: Lakeside Project ($9 mil additional), Long Meadow ball fields ($1.2 mil), lighting at Grand Army Plaza and the arch at Grand Army Plaza, and a continuation of traffic improvements at the Grand Army Plaza circle.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Improvements to Grand Army Plaza, Lakeside, and the Long Meadow Ballfields are partially funded. Please contact the Parks Brooklyn Commissioner's Office for further information.	This request is partially funded.
CS	Invest in capital projects to improve access to waterfront	Sufficient funds are requested for the design and construction of a maritime cultural use at the Atlantic Basin, as we previously suggested, discussed and promised by EDC during and since the development of their Piers 6-12 study for the Brooklyn Waterfront. Many years have lapsed since the study, yet there is no cultural use in place despite the agency's commitments to the community. Funds are needed to provide suitable docking facilities, upland connections and necessary infrastructure (electrical, water, sewage, etc.) to support such a use.	since FY2021	Agency supports and can accommodate. The request is part of the BMT Vision Plan that commits 250,000 SQ ft of community space	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: The request is part of the BMT Vision Plan that commits 250,000 SQ ft of community space
CS	Other FDNY facilities and equipment requests	Sufficient funds are requested to equip every firehouse with an emergency generator to ensure continuous electrical supply. Firehouses serve as cooling stations during heat emergencies and, in general, serve the public as a critical local public safety facility for emergency and medical services. Maintaining electrical supply is essential both from an operational standpoint and to maintain a high degree of public confidence in the department's ability to provide a safe haven during times of crisis. We lost service to one of our firehouses in Red Hook during Hurricane Sandy, and would suggest that this site become an immediate priority.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. FDNY will seek to accommodate within existing resources, although this will depend on availability of funding and overall agency prioritization. The Community Board should continue work with their relevant elected officials to allocate Council/BP capital funding at Budget Adoption.

1	Funding for a new senior center program	Sufficient funding is requested to increase baseline operating budget allocations in existing senior centers. At a minimum, additional funding is sought to help keep pace with cost of living increases which over time take more and more resources away from the base operating budgets from programming and salary monies. Effectively, by not providing for regular, modest increases the senior centers' budgets are being decreased over time as basic costs only go up. This need is especially pressing with an aging population, as more and more "baby boomers" will be placing increasing demands on these facilities, which is anticipated to increase in the near future.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need additional funding to meet this request.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Assign more non-teaching staff, e.g., to provide social, health and other services	Funds are requested to expand access to free and low-cost day care services within CB6. There are only 3 child care facilities that take city vouchers within CB6. This is a critical economic issue: parents without access to affordable, high-quality, accessible day care for their children cannot work. Funding should increase the number of child care facilities in CB6 that accept vouchers, increase the amount of the vouchers, and make vouchers or other city-funded daycare options available to more residents.	since FY2022	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Other programs to address public health issues requests	Expand health programs in Red Hook to address needs identified in the Red Hook Community Health Needs and Assets Assessment (CHNAA). The CHNAA was conducted with support from the NYU Langone Health Community Service Plan. The assessment was planned by a team of six organizations: The Alex House Project, Family Health Centers at NYU Langone, Good Shepherd Services, NYU Langone Health Department of Population Health, Red Hook Community Justice Center, and the Red Hook Initiative. According to surveys, focus groups, and data research, top issues are asthma, mental health and diabetes	since FY2023	This request has already been completed. DOHMH looks forward to discussing further ways we can partner with communities to address public health concerns including providing resources and materials for dissemination	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
1	Other traffic improvement requests	Sufficient funds are requested for restoration of full- time (non-seasonal) work gangs to respond to year- round routine maintenance calls for potholes and street depressions. There has been a noticeable decrease in productivity and increase in response times in this area attributable to significant loss of manpower. There has also been a significant delay in pothole response times during the winter-spring transition which could be remedied by maintaining more year-round personnel to respond to complaints.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Please reach out to elected representatives regarding this request since this personnel request is not within our budget.	Please contact the Borough Commissioner with the specific location(s) of concern.
1	Provide more programs in parks or recreational centers	Funds are requested for upgrades including resumption of the compost program at Red Hook Community Farms, a youth-led food justice program. Since curbside composting programs were cut due to the pandemic, the most-asked question at the farm has been "Are you all accepting food scraps for composting?" Red Hook has no farmer's market and so no access to even private food-scrap composting operations. As such, all food scraps are going to landfills (a city-wide increase of 100 million pounds / year) - food scraps that could instead be used to create rich compost at a local site that already has capacity and expertise, and increase community cohesion, youth empowerment to boot.	since FY2022	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Red Hook Community Farms is not funded by NYC Parks. Please contact the Parks Brooklyn Commissioner's Office to discuss.	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Explanation: Red Hook Community Farms is not funded by NYC Parks.

1	Provide more frequent garbage or recycling pick-up for schools and institutions	Sufficient funds are requested to restore the frequency of litter basket service to a minimum of two collections per day, especially on weekends, along busy commercial corridors such as Van Brunt Street, Columbia Street, Court Street, Smith Street, 5th Avenue, 7th Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, and Flatbush Avenue. Overflowing litter baskets create additional work for the department in discretionary cleaning, contributes to the clogging of catch basins, and results in the unfair issuance of summonses to victims of the strewn litter. Litter on commercial strips negatively contributes to the consumer's shopping experience, detracts from the residents' quality of life, and forces the businesses to shoulder the burden for the City after the mess.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	Invest in planning for transportation-oriented infrastructure	The public and private shoreline infrastructure along the industrial waterfront is aging and needs investment. This is particularly urgent because the City must require or encourage last-mile distribution warehouses to increase the use of water-borne delivery. This will require capital investment, but will also include expenses for non-infrastructure changes. This is not a new need, but has become more urgent as the new last-mile distribution warehouses will increase trucking through the neighborhood, with concomitant traffic safety, road wear, and environmental pollution. According to DCP's Comprehensive Waterfront Plan, "with advancements in the manufacturing, freight, and energy sectors, our city's waterfront industrial zones will remain important, multi-faceted hubs.	since FY2023	Agency supports and can accommodate. This will be part of the overall BMT vision plan	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: This will be part of the overall BMT vision plan
1	Other domestic violence services requests	Additional funding is requested to expand the spectrum of services that provide assistance to victims of domestic violence - from counseling to protection to shelter - in order to ensure that adequate resources exist to help this vulnerable population in need. Outreach and promotional materials are needed to reach the population, provide them with convenient access to services and help educate communities on the importance of these services to remove any fear and stigma that may be attached to these facilities.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. HRA continues to maintain programs for domestic violence survivors in emergency shelter - for example, hotline services, safe and secure housing, supportive services including case management, childcare and education, medical services, transportation, and referrals to other social services supports.

1	Other NYPD staff resources requests	Reallocate budget resources to restore NYPD bicycle patrols. Bicycle patrols provide a lowcost option for policing that combines the best elements of vehicular access with flexible patrol routes. With increased bicycling, and the call for better enforcement of bicycling rules, it would also provide a more convenient way for police to engage other bicyclists in the proper education and enforcement of the rules of the road. Previous bicycle patrols involved the use of vouchered and donated bicycles making this a cost-effective program that should be reinstituted.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYPD's total uniformed staffing levels depend on decisions made in the Preliminary and Executive Budget process. Allocation of uniformed personnel is scheduled by the agency only after graduation of police classes from the Academy.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Provide more community board staff	Funding in the amount of $450,000 is requested in order for Community Boards to fulfill their Charter mandated roles to plan and advocate for neighborhood needs. An increase in funds will be used to fund the hiring of a full-time urban planner, to keep pace with cost of living adjustments which have never been applied to Community Boards, to upgrade complaint systems software which was previously supplied and supported by prior Administrations and to expand District Office functionality with the purchase of additional equipment and supplies. Increases to budget due to collective bargaining agreements and maintaining the budget at its current level do not address this request; both are effectively negative responses which should trigger a separate letter explaining the agency's position.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As of the FY 2027 Preliminary Budget, each Community Board’s budget is being maintained.	As of the FY 2027 Executive Budget, each Community Board's budget is being maintained.
1	Other workforce development requests	Fund workforce development and training in Gowanus and Red Hook: The City must aggressively address unemployment levels in Red Hook and Gowanus, which are disproportionately high - not just relative the district overall, but to other neighborhoods in the City. For example, In Red Hook Houses, based on the most recently available income data for the census tract, 47% of residents live below the federal poverty line, and 31% of residents over 25 years old are unemployed. Residents of the Gowanus neighborhood - and particularly Gowanus Houses - also suffer from significant economic, educational and health disparities and historic City and Federal underinvestment that is manifested in housing quality and conditions.	since FY2021	Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS already offers a variety of training programs that are designed to meet citywide needs and industry demand. SBS can conduct targeted outreach to promote training programs and recruitment/open applications in partnership with the local Workforce1 Center. We encourage Community boards interested in coordinating with SBS on a walkthrough or promotion to contact us at intergov@sbs.nyc.gov.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
2	Provide, expand, or enhance funding for Child Care and Head Start programs	Conduct an assessment of alternatives to expand publicly funded early childhood programs in the Gowanus neighborhood: The EIS reports that rezoning would result in a significant adverse impact on publicly funded early childhood programs. As stated, "With the Proposed Actions, child care facilities would operate over capacity by approximately 1,700 slots and exhibit an increase in the utilization rate of approximately 25 percentage points over the No Action condition. Possible mitigation measures for this significant adverse impact may include provision of suitable space in projected developments for early childhood programs, provision of suitable locations within the study area that are also within a reasonable distance (at a rate affordable to NYC DOC providers).	since FY2023	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	Please contact the Agency directly and promptly for more information (917-455-0513)
2	Other programs to address public health issues requests	Conduct narrowly targeted community health assessments in low-income sections of the district, rather than rely solely on district-wide data. The district's data (health, economic, social, and population health related) is based on the district as a whole (or in some cases at the zip code level); unfortunately, as a whole, the district has excellent health. However, this masks the inequities in specific communities within the district. The Community Health Needs and Assets study by NYU Langone and Red Hook community partners identified high rates and concerns about asthma, diabetes and heart disease.	since FY2023	This request has already been completed. DOHMH looks forward to discussing further ways we can partner with communities to address public health concerns including providing resources and materials for dissemination	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
2	Other park maintenance and safety requests	Sufficient funds are requested to restore Parks Maintenance personnel to provide for vital maintenance and report of Parks facilities. With the added supervisory role Parks Maintenance workers perform through the departmental use of JTP and other volunteer workers, more staff are needed to continue to fulfill the traditional roles and tasks performed by Parks Maintenance staff.	since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Renovate, upgrade or provide new community board facilities and equipment	Acquire land for Community Board 8 offices and general meeting location. A space of our own that is large enough to accommodate our membership and the public during general meetings and public hearings is crucial to our success in generating public interest in civic engagement. The old Rescue 2 firehouse building at 1472 Bergen Street is an ideal location as the building is city-owned as is the land around it. Due to its use as a firehouse, it is equipped with office space for staff and the ground floor level could be repurposed into meeting space for the Board. This would allow us the opportunity to hold hybrid meetings to meet the demand of our membership.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. 25-0647: OMB conceptual approval for relocation was received on 12/16/2025.

1	Improve mobility options, including bike share and car share	We urge DOT to require all people who rent Citi Bikes to wear helmets. We also request that helmet sharing lockers be installed all Citi Bike stations to encourage riders to use them. Helmets are proven to protect bikers. Additionally, New York City law requires e-bike riders to use a helmet and Lyft is increasing the availability of pedel-assist ebikes. Let's keep riders safe by ensuring that they are able to rent helmets at the same time they rent a bike.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. Citi Bike riders are encouraged to wear helmets, but are not required to do so. NYC has provided over 300,000 free bicycle helmets to New Yorkers.

1	Upgrade Women's Bathrooms and Facilities	With the growing number of female firefighters, it is important to prioritize improvement of conditions in their work environment. Currently, women are still relying on converted closets to bathrooms meaning that there is no ventilation, growing mold, and a general feeling of dis-ease when using facilities. Additionally, many firehouses lack proper changing areas for women firefighters leading to direct personal safety. As a city, it is crucial that we address the subpar conditions for our non male firefighters.		This request has already been completed. FDNY is supportive of this request and has already completed capital work at dozens of firehouses to address female bathrooms and other spaces. Some buildings are constrained by what can be done based on the footprint/layout of the existing building. FDNY takes the safety of its members seriously.

1	Provide, expand, or enhance loan programs to rehabilitate multiple dwelling buildings	Many small scale landlords desire to maintain and upgrade their apartments and charge affordable rates but cannot make necessary repairs and upgrades without raising rents. Loan programs to help them with rehabilitation projects are necessary to ensure that these landlords and property owners do not have liens levied against their properties because of code enforcement violations. Furthermore, they allow landlords to keep units below market rate, and this must be a priority for the City. Current resource allocations by the agency have proven to be too scarce at this time, and we encourage additional resources.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. HPD's HomeFix Program, in partnership with the Center for NYC Neighborhoods (CNYCN) and their partners, Restored Homes Housing Development Fund Corporation, AAFE Community Development Fund (CDF), Neighborhood Housing Services of New York City (NHSNYC), and the Parodneck Foundation, provides a comprehensive place-based approach to addressing homeowner repair needs and other assistance.

1	Increase energy efficiency and environmental performance of NYCHA developments	We urge NYCHA to do a better job with their sustainability efforts for the housing developments in their portfolio. As the Brownsville power grid continues to struggle to support its service base, Con Ed has identified that NYCHA developments place most of the strain on the grid. We encourage the installation of solar panels to all NYCHA buildings and the use of energy efficient bulbs and appliances in all buildings. This in turn will aid tremendously in the effort to reduce strain on the power grid and also reduce the electricity bill owed to Con Edison.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	Further investigation of this request is needed. Contact the agency.
1	Other transit infrastructure requests	We are disappointed to hear that the agency does not support shelters and seating in every bus stop per last year's response to the request that every bus stop in District 8 be equipped with shelters and seats as well as countdown timers to alert riders when the next bus is coming. Riders should have the comfort of protection from the elements when waiting for the bus as well as real time knowledge of when the next bus is coming.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Make 77th Precinct ADA compliant	In the last year, CB8 has gotten several complaints that the 77th Precinct is not compliant with the American with Disabilities Act. Anyone visiting a precinct stationhouse should be able to do so easily, effortlessly, and safely. Making the 77th Precinct stationhouse ADA compliant will go a long way in ensuring protection, safety, and humane approaches for all.		This request has already been completed.

2	Dean Street Playground Lights	Install lamp posts around Dean Street Playground. Currently, there are no lights in Dean Street playground. The playground does not have an operating system and in the past relied upon stadium lights provided by DOT to illuminate the area. These lights are no longer used so the park is shrouded in darkness once the sun sets. Light posts placed strategically around the park will illuminate the playground without creating a nuisance situation for the park's residential neighbors like those that were caused when the stadium lights were used.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. We have $12.3 million of funding in place for improvements to Dean Playground, which will include the installation of new security lighting. We plan to host a community input meeting for the site design by the end of the fiscal year.	This request has already been funded.
2	Provide more housing for special needs households, such as the formerly homeless	Seniors, the disabled, and homeless singles not in need of supportive services are often left out of housing conversations and forced to compete for scant quantities of units. Existing affordable units need to be preserved and there is a greater need for incentives for property owners to keep rents low to reduce the growing numbers of rent burdened households. Housing across the city is being created at a fast pace, but not affordable for the majority of the city's residents, and vacant newly created units leads to unnecessary increased competition for less expensive rent-stabilized units.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. HPD will continue to fund and preserve housing that serves disabled and homeless populations.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This request has already been completed. Explanation: HPD will continue to fund and preserve housing that serves disabled and homeless populations.

We have contacted the agency multiple times over the years and continue to get the same response. We need the agency to understand that this is of utmost importance as the Franklin Avenue Shuttle line is in dire need of repainting. The four stops along the line, specifically the Park Place station in District 8, is in terrible repair with peeling paint and graffiti both interior of the station and exterior. We are requesting that this request be expedited as the shuttle is an integral connection for Brooklyn residents, and must be prioritized and maintained as other stations in the network.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

Additionally, users cite awkward features/obstacles leaving no room to skate comfortably. The following suggestions have been provided to improve the skate park: 1. Repave the ground to be exactly like that of the basketball court. 2. Open the center and leave free of features/obstacles for acceleration/deceleration and free skating on flat ground. 3. Line the perimeter of the skate park with the same height and style ledges as the basketball courts. 4. Use a strong cement or granite for all features, obstacles, and ledges to withstand skating and BMX pegs.	every year since FY2024	Agency supports and can accommodate. We have $3 million of funding in place for improvements to the skate park at Brower Park. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2026.	This request has already been funded.
1	Provide, expand, or enhance housing assistance for youth that are leaving foster care	Young adults aging out of the foster care system are not provided all of the tools they need to make it on their own. We encourage bringing back and revamping the "Supervised Independent Living Program (SILP)" which gave foster kids ages 17 to 21 an opportunity to get ahead. In addition, we encourage the agency to continue, maintain, and expand all current programs.	every year since FY2025	This request has already been completed. ACS currently contracts for 50 SILP slots offered by 4 agencies – HSSV, JBFCS, Rising Ground and Children’s Village. These programs came online in FY24. Since inception, ACS hosted many listening sessions to explain the SILP program to the foster care community, including case planners, agency leadership and Fair Future Coaches. There are currently 20 youth actively placed in the SILP program. Approximately 15 youth previously placed in a SILP transitioned from foster care. In addition to SILP. ACS’ Housing Unit works closely with foster care providers to leverage various housing options, such as New York City Housing Authority apartments, CityFHEPS voucher, supportive housing and market rate apartments for youth transitioning from foster care.

1	Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs	We urge the restoration of funds to the Brooklyn Public Library system. In addition, encourage an increased budget for library operations, hours, and services so that the library can continue being a trusted and safe community space that meets the diverse needs of New Yorkers.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports increased operational funding to equitably expand branch hours and branch programming.	This request has already been funded.
1	Support nonprofit cultural organizations	We encourage Cultural Affairs to assist our cultural institutions with advertisement opportunities across the city. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on the importance of the arts, culture, and diaspora history.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. The Program Services Unit of the Department of Cultural Affairs is charged with the administration of the Cultural Development Fund, an annual grant-making process for New York City's nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. Through the CDF process, the agency awards support for a vast array of programs provided by many of the City's largest cultural organizations as well as neighborhood-based groups that represent New York's extraordinary cultural breadth. CDF Applications are submitted online each year through the agency's website.	It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.
1	Clean catch basins	Climate change has brought much heavier storms, flooding, and even flash flooding to NYC. Recent storms have illustrated the dangers of clogged catch basins. Catch basin cleaning should be increased to eliminate and prevent debris build-up to maximize water drainage from streets during downpours and other rain events.	every year since FY2023	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
1	Increase transportation services capacity	The CB8 Seniors Committee members identified increased transportation options as a top senior issue for the district. They specifically cited already miniscule safe travel options that often become even more difficult to navigate due to infrequent bus service, Open Streets rerouting certain bus lines, and rising crime on public transportation. An increase in senior transportation, whether via para transit or taxi vouchers, or volunteer services to transport seniors to appointments or even grocery shopping, should be provided.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Expand street outreach	District office staff has experienced a deluge of complaints related to homeless encampments in hallways and stairwells of buildings as well as under scaffolding of moribund construction sites or private buildings that have not removed their years old scaffolding, and along certain isolated blocks within the manufacturing district of the western portion of the district. The sole provider of homeless street outreach for the borough of Brooklyn--Breaking Ground--is stretched too thin to successfully manage the growing load of homeless outreach requests. We advocate for an increase in Breaking Ground's budget to continue providing and also to expand, their valuable and much needed service., as well as the issuance of an RFP to find additional organizations that can perform street outreach.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Funding for street outreach has more than doubled in recent years.	Funding and/or headcount was recently added. OMB supports the agency's position as follows:
1	Create or promote programs to de-stigmatize mental health needs and encourage treatment	The stigma of admitting to having a mental illness is great, especially in immigrant and communities of color. This stigma prevents those suffering symptoms from seeking help and prevents family members from understanding the many ways they can help. Moreover, the last few years have certainly illustrated the need for mental health programs and greater understanding of the issues and the ways mental health issues can manifest and be expressed. Programs are needed to address the stigma because many more are willing to acknowledge their issues courtesy of the recent pandemic.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DOHMH looks forward to discussing further ways we can partner with communities to address mental health concerns	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
1	Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming	We advocate for the installation of a mid-block signalized crosswalk on Buffalo Avenue between Eastern Parkway and East New York Avenue. This extremely long block is a crucial crossing point for the bisected Lincoln Terrace Park, and a mid block crossing would facilitate safe passage between the areas of the park that are heaviest used, including the tennis courts and the comfort station on the other side.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. This is not a budget request. Please submit a request via the DOT website/311: https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01283	This is not a budget request.
1	Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement)	Existing resources are currently not sufficient to accommodate this request, and it is our understanding that funding constraints and budget cuts have further reduced funds available for this specific service. Our outdoor spaces are integral to our health and wellbeing. As such, we urge the city to allocate additional funds to the Parks Dept. to hire additional Park Enforcement Personnel (PEP officers) to enforce the rules of the park in an effort to make our parks and playgrounds safe and enjoyable for all.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for additional Parks Enforcement Patrol officers but do not have expense funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
1	Increase enforcement of alternate street parking cleaning rules	The last 12 months has seen a dramatic increase in street cleanliness complaints in District 8. We advocate for strengthened enforcement and the return of section supervisors to ensure that vehicles that do not move for the street sweeper are ticketed.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports and can accommodate. DSNY will try to accommodate this request using existing resources.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: DSNY will try to accommodate this request using existing resources.
1	Provide, expand, or enhance adolescent literacy programs and services	The invisible crisis facing NYC is that nearly two out of three children affected by systemic poverty cannot read at grade level. Children who can't transition from "learning to read to reading to learn" by third grade are 13 times more likely not to graduate on time from high school if they graduate at all. Sadly, the crisis does not end there as 64% of NYC middle school students read below their grade's reading level. These students face much worse outcomes in life like incarceration, gang activity, under employment, continued poverty, mental depression, and several other disorders that have the potential to lower their quality of life. Additional literacy programs and services to bring them up to level are necessary to allow them to thrive.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Presently, there are a variety of agency-funded programs in the district for this target population. Additional programs are contingent upon available funding and will be distributed through an RFP process. Organizations are encouraged to apply.

Additional programs are contingent upon available funding and will be distributed through an RFP process. Organizations are encouraged to apply.
1	Expand funding for fire prevention and life safety initiatives	Fire safety education needs to be improved to maximize reach. District 8 has had several fatal residential fires in calendar year 2024. If the residents in the buildings had been properly educated, we believe most of the fires could have been prevented. While fears around uncertified lithium ion batteries from e-bikes remain high and at the forefront of educational initiatives, additional PSAs need to be issued around lesser feared causes of fire. Some of these include "dressed" or fancy candles with incendiary inclusions; burning incense; keeping appliances such as air fryers and crock pots plugged in and on while unattended; not using grounded outlets for larger appliances; not maintaining smoke alarms, etc.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. FDNY will continue through its Community Affairs Unit (CAU) to bring more fire safety resources to the community. Consistent, targeted education helps residents understand risks, practice safe behaviors, and respond correctly during emergencies, especially in high-risk and underserved communities.

Consistent, targeted education helps residents understand risks, practice safe behaviors, and respond correctly during emergencies, especially in high-risk and underserved communities.
1	Employ more people in Eviction Prevention and Assistance unit	The affordability crisis is worsening in the city and District 8 residents are directly impacted by the increase in cases in Landlord/Tenant Court. As such, it is imperative that funding be increased to hire and train more workers for eviction assistance and for the Right to Counsel Program. Even if you qualify for the program, the representation rate is about 30%, which is too low for the need.		This request has already been completed. Supporting tenant protections is an administration priority. Eviction (Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants (MOPT) and Right to Counsel Program (Mayor's Public Engagement Unit (PEU)) are not within the jurisdiction of HPD's Office of Enforcement and Neighborhood Services' (ENS).

1	Provide, expand, or enhance adult protective services	We must keep in mind that our vulnerable populations are at risk for abuse from family members and home health aides seeking to take advantage of their frail emotional or physical states. They require considerable attention to maintain their safety and well-being, thus preventing them from being subjected to unnecessary hardship, pain, and mental aggravation in the form of fear. We encourage HRA to increase funding for these programs and enhance service provision.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. HRA continues to maintain funding for Adult Protective Services (APS) which provides services to physically and/or mentally impaired adults who are at risk for abuse or neglect.

Explanation: HRA continues to maintain funding for Adult Protective Services (APS) which provides services to physically and/or mentally impaired adults who are at risk for abuse or neglect.
1	Expand bus service frequency or hours of operation	A recent survey by CB8 indicates that while some residents are satisfied with subway service, all that ride buses with the District 8 corridor are disappointed with service. With issues ranging from bunching, long wait times, too many express/limited buses and not enough locals, and also the general slowness of buses along their route due to double parked cars and delivery trucks blocking the roadway, it is imperative that additional frequency be added to the B46 and B44 local buses, as well as general additional frequency for the B15, B45, B49, B47, B65, and B69, as these buses service numerous neighborhoods and transfer points.	every year since FY2023	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Hire additional crossing guards	Members of CB8 were disheartened to learn that budget cuts resulted in the loss of crucial school crossing guards and further disheartened by the agency's response that the item is not supported and cannot be accommodated. Furthering members' dissatisfaction are the high profile deaths of youths on their way to school hit by vehicles at intersections that did not have crossing guards. Every intersection by a school needs to be manned by a crossing guard to keep students safe.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed. After agency review, if approved, agency will accommodate this request within existing resources.
1	Increase budgets for Community Boards	Community Board budgets have not had a line increase in over 20 years. CB8 staff is minimal with only two people despite community needs growing. Funding is not available to hire additional staff or even pay for training in emerging industries (like AI and coding languages necessary to navigate Open Data and other city information gathering sites) to keep with the needs of residents. Equipment is becoming obsolete with no funding in site to replace and upgrade.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As of the FY 2027 Preliminary Budget, each Community Board’s budget is being maintained.	As of the FY 2027 Executive Budget, each Community Board's budget is being maintained.
1	Educational Campaigns for Commercial Waste Zones	Our small businesses need as much assistance as possible in opening and staying open. There is no easy route to finding out information, no singular place that can make navigating licensure or obtaining clarity easier. An example of the issues arising from the lack of clear information and instruction is navigating new commercial waste laws in the city. Consequently, we advocate for educational campaigns that can assist with preventing unnecessary fines and summonses. It would be helpful if SBS could create an information portal in one location for frequently asked questions.		Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS can accommodate this request with existing resources. We offer webinars and workshops, including the NYC BEST Bootcamp to educate business owners on ways to come into compliance. We are always eager to connect more businesses to our existing services. SBS also has a dedicated agency-wide outreach team and welcomes recommendations from the Community Board on where we should conduct targeted outreach and offer NYC BEST support. in the district by reaching out to us at intergov@sbs.nyc.gov. Business-owners can also call our hotline at 888-SBS-4NYC to learn more about and connect to our services. Businesses can also find information about navigating government regulations on the MyCity Business Site: https://nyc-business.nyc.gov/nycbusiness/	The Agency will accommodate this request within existing resources, but the community board should contact the Agency with additional information.
2	Provide, expand, or enhance funding to support higher education and/or workforce development opportunities for youth who are leaving foster care	Kids leaving foster care need assistance in order to be able to thrive and succeed in life. They need education support services, better access to grants, access to training and development programs to be able to earn a living and support themselves. We support the Fair Futures Coaching and advocate for increased funding for this and similar programs. We encourage expansion of the College Choice Program so that more students can benefit from the program.	every year since FY2025	This request has already been completed. We appreciate this question and agreed that these programs needed to be expanded due to the large take up by youth. This past year, we invested $1623 million in the youth safety and success initiative, for you youth in and transitioning out of foster care and services to help prevent justice involvement. This initiative expands 4 programs and creates one new one: Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,000 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic and career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program. (40 slots which equate to 80 youth via expansion of DYCD’s Advance and Earn Program & 232 stipends for eligible youth) • Girls JustUs: A highly-successful gender-responsive juvenile justice diversion program that currently operates in Brooklyn will now be expanded to Queens and the Bronx. (24 additional girls will be served via this expansion) • Assertive Community Engagement and Success (ACES): A program that provides evidence-based services to high-risk youth who have been involved with the justice system. The program provides social pathways away from gang and gun violence to young people between the ages of 16-24. This program beginning in FY 27, will now be expanded city wide and will allow over 400 more young people to take part each year.	This request has already been completed.

2	Greater funding for book and digital library purchases	Brooklyn Public Library and the greater library system across the city is a gem and cultural and recreational necessity. As such, it is crucial that the system receive additional funding to purchase additional books, increase the digital library, and other programming.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports increased operational funding to equitably expand branch hours and branch programming.	Restoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.
2	Funding for lead testing and remediation	Water service lines connect a building's plumbing to the City's water main in the street. Homeowners are responsible for their service line in its entirety. While water service lines made of lead have been banned since 1961 and the use of lead in household plumbing has been banned since 1987, some older homes (particularly 1-to-4-family homes) may still have lead pipes and fixtures. It is crucial that funding for lead testing and lead pipe remediation be made available to assist small property owners with keeping their homes safe and lead free.

Financial education for senior homeowners is crucial to protecting seniors, their homes, and their livelihoods.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
2	Provide more information and services related to STIs, HIV/AIDS, and family planning	Recent years has seen a spike in sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes simplex 2, and chlamydia. These diseases that can cause severe irreversible life altering complications if left untreated, can easily be prevented with condom usage. It is imperative that safe sex campaigns be re-ignited as it seems the fear of dying from HIV/AIDS is not as prevalent today as years past due to recent medical treatment breakthroughs.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. Efforts are underway to address the recent growing trend of rising STD rates that is happening across the United States and tracking accordingly in NYC.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
2	Pacific Street Bike Lane	Location: Pacific Street - Flatbush Avenue & Ralph Avenue Currently, a portion of Pacific Street has a bike lane (Ralph Avenue to Brooklyn Avenue). As calls for an east/west bike corridor on Atlantic Avenue--the only east/west truck route in District 8--grow louder, it is imperative that the bike lane on Pacific Street be extended to Flatbush Avenue to provide a safer corridor on which bikers can travel.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. We will investigate this request but don't have a response at this time.	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
2	Forestry services, including street tree maintenance	We encourage additional planting of new trees as well as better maintenance of existing trees. Contractors that plant new trees must be held accountable for tree care until the tree is able to thrive on its own. Furthermore, maintenance of existing trees includes more frequent pruning, de-weeding, enlarged tree pits, mulch, etc.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. As part of our new Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will be planting trees in every viable location across the city on a predictable 9-year cycle, prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Find out when we will be planting each neighborhood on the Parks website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/street-tree-planting. Parks and our contractors are responsible for all basic maintenance, including watering, weeding, and replacement, if necessary, for at least one year after the tree is planted. As they mature, city trees become eligible for a variety of other forestry services. While we cannot commit resources to weeding and mulching tree pits, we support volunteer tree care efforts. Use the NYC Tree Map, call 311, or visit the Parks website to submit a service request. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management program.	The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this.
2	Provide more on-street trash cans and recycling containers	Smart bins usage in Prospect Heights is very high and there is a need for additional bins. Usage rates are so high that bins are often full before late morning has reached on days when the bins are dumped. Additional bins will allow greater access for organics collections and participation. Furthermore, we encourage increased collection of smart bins district-wide as they are a popular choice for residents in buildings that have yet to opt into curbside organics collections.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. While there is not currently funding for additional smart compost collection bins, participation in organics collection is mandatory. Buildings do not have to opt-in to participate and every building must provide a means for residents to drop-off their organic material for weekly curbside collection. If your building is not providing this, please submit a complaint using 311.

2	Provide, expand, or enhance skills training and employment services for high school students at risk of dropping out	Early intervention is the key to saving the future of our youth. It is well documented that inner-city children have a higher risk for crime, dropping out of school and other educational deficits, gang involvement, drug use, and incarceration. We urge funding for activities that target at-risk youth. Funding for youth development and delinquency and prevention programs is necessary to serve our youth and quell the growing trend toward life-ruining activities.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DYCD funds the Summer Youth Employment Program; Work, Learn and Grow; Advance and Earn; and Learn and Earn workforce development programs for high school students.

2	Provide, expand, or enhance programs for housing inspections to correct code violations	We appreciate the agency's efforts to increase inspector headcount and increased civil penalties. However, the growing affordability crisis in New York City coupled with the increase in cases n landlord/tenant court illustrates the demand for additional enforcement officers. Aging housing stock in some areas has led to a growing number of residents living in unkept units with habitability violations. Because not everyone has the luxury of means to move to better housing options, HPD needs to ensure that consequences and repercussions for allowing units to fall into disrepair are great enough and harsh enough to encourage speedy and proper repair to units. Inspections are crucial for tenants in landlord/tenant court and the lack of timely inspections hampers tenants' cases and leads to eviction.	every year since FY2022	This request has already been completed. This is a priority for the administration and HPD and we will continue to work with key stakeholders to ensure poor housing conditions in NYC are properly enforced.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
2	Provide a new bus service or Select Bus Service	Re-instate the B 71 bus line. This line was an integral part of accessing the cultural icons of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Grand Army Plaza Library, and Prospect Park.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

2	Hire additional traffic enforcement agents	A recent survey by CB8 received an overwhelming show of resident support for increased enforcement for traffic scofflaws that double park, block bike lanes, and/or park in fire hydrants as well as vehicle owners that do not move their vehicle during alternate side parking. Residents also requested increased traffic enforcement for speeding motorists, e-bike/e-scooter operators and manual bicycle operators that ride on the sidewalk. All complainants requested a more visible presence of traffic enforcement agents to help ticket these violators and increase compliance.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount.	More information is needed from the agency before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.
3	Enhance programs for elder abuse victims	The 7 most common types of elder abuse include physical, neglect, emotional, financial, sexual, self-neglect, and abandonment. Any of these elder abuse types can be devastating to older people and their families. Too often, our elders are too prideful, ashamed, or afraid to speak up for themselves, leading them to suffer continued abuse at the hands of caregivers or even strangers. We encourage DFTA to increase outreach efforts and initiate public service announcements to inform seniors of their options and services should they ever come face to face with elder abuse. We also advocate for increased public awareness programs to help people identify the signs and signals of elder abuse.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
3	Other programs to address public health issues requests	We urge the City to make all multiple dwelling housing units smoke-free, and also increase awareness of the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke inhalation. Current City Council proposed legislation to monitor air quality in multiple dwelling buildings fail to account for the impacts on air quality that cigarette smoke has, and thus, legislation to eliminate smoking indoors in multiple dwellings will protect residents with smoking neighbors from having to move and/or face dangerous health issues if they cannot afford to move.	every year since FY2021	This request has already been completed. DOHMH agrees with the shared continued concerns around smoking/vaping and second-hand smoking and vaping. Further discussions would be needed to have with external parties on housing and the overall residential real estate industry.

Explanation: DOHMH agrees with the shared continued concerns around smoking/vaping and second-hand smoking and vaping. Further discussions would be needed to have with external parties on housing and the overall residential real estate industry.
3	Central Brooklyn Street Mobility and Parks Access	Perform traffic calming around Prospect Park to increase street mobility for other than personal automobiles and increase park access. This is performed by: -Completing the protected bicycle lane perimeter wrapping around Prospect Park by adding two-way protected bike lanes along the park's perimeter on Prospect Park Southwest and Ocean Avenue -Adding signalized crossings, mid-block crossings and pedestrian safety treatments at 10th Avenue along Prospect Park Southwest -Adding pedestrian safety treatments at 11th Avenue along Prospect Park Southwest -Redesigning Bartel-Pritchard Square to calm traffic and allow for safe cycle connections around the traffic circle and accessible pedestrian crossings through the circle. -Upgrading key paint-only bicycle connections to Prospect Park to become much safer barrier-protected bicycle lanes -A north/south connection to the Brooklyn Greenway, potentially on Vanderbilt, Underhill, Washington, Classon, or Franklin Avenues -Adding protected bike lanes to Prospect Park at key connections that currently lack any bicycle infrastructure, including: Coney Island Avenue -Extending Parkside Ave east of the southeast corner of the park and continuing onto Linden Boulevard Prospect Park West from Bartel Pritchard Square to the 20th Street Bike Boulevard -Creating additional pedestrian space at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park, including to specifically relieve crowding created at the Saturday greenmarket -Adding loading zones near the Lincoln Road entrance to Prospect Park so vehicles do not create hazards when loading in and out for commitments in the park	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. These are multiple requests. Going forward, please submit requests individually. DOT is working to improve bike and pedestrian connections around Prospect Park through several initiatives. The Parks Department is in the process of installing a protected bike lane project on Ocean Avenue. We have installed protected bike lanes along the Prospect Park West,Parkside Avenue,and Flatbush Avenue perimeters in previous projects.

Other locations mentioned can be taken under advisement for future investigation.
3	Improve trash removal and cleanliness	We urge the Parks Department to increase efforts to keep our parks and playgrounds litter free. While we understand that the Parks Department is suffering severe budget cuts, we encourage resources to be increased for this endeavor. Existing resources to accommodate this request are currently not sufficient. Too often, we get complaints about trash in neighborhood parks and playgrounds.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. We will accommodate the request to address litter in parks and playgrounds as best we can with our existing staff resources.	The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this.
3	Provide or expand community composting programs	Our community lacks robust education and outreach for organics collection and composting, which is critical for the success of municipal composting. Residents on the eastern end of District 8 lack a thorough understanding of organics collection and composting. We advocate for sustainability programs via additional community composting sites, food scraps drop off locations, more frequent collection as smart bins, and greater education/outreach about smart bins and composting.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
3	Gaming, Coding, AI	Youth without constructive activities tend to fall behind their peers in educational attainment and social quotient. It is imperative that additional programs be made available in those areas that youth are interested in today: gaming, coding, AI, music production, theater, music, arts, etc. More inclusive programming needs to be made available outside of simply focusing on STEM and sports.		This request has already been completed. DYCD has begun a three-year, 20,000 seat expansion of the COMPASS afterschool program.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: DYCD has begun a three-year, 20,000 seat expansion of the COMPASS afterschool program.
4	Continue Crime Prevention/Victim Assistance Program for Seniors	Seniors need to be protected as they are targeted at an accelerated pace by scammers, and are the group of people least likely to be able to weather financial losses. We need to ensure that seniors and the elderly as well as those lacking mental acuity are protected from scammers and receive necessary services to help them recover in the instances when they are victims of scam operations. Additionally, greater efforts need to be made to ensure that seniors have educational resources available to them in modalities that are wide ranging to accommodate their needs (inclusive of print, radio, television, and other types of campaigns).	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
4	Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations	The large number of development, renovation, and enlargement projects in the district and citywide have disrupted rodent burrows to the point where rodents are visible during daylight hours. Residents and CB8 staff and members overwhelmingly support DOHMH implementing a policy change mandating that developers bait more than just the perimeter of their projects and instead bait a wider berth, as well as the city enforcing harsh penalties on properties that do not perform abatement to allow the city the opportunity to focus on other health related issues and needs.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DOHMH looks forward to discussing partnership opportunities on rodent mitigation. As a reminder, every property in NYC, whether vacant or occupied has a designated owner or legally responsible party that must maintain the general upkeep and conditions of that property	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
4	Other park maintenance and safety requests	We are requesting that the tree and sidewalk program provide greater forestry services including root pruning and sidewalk leveling where street trees have caused displacement of sidewalk flags. Additionally, private contractors that do sidewalk repair work should have clear and explicit guidelines on how to repair and level sidewalks without splicing roots and damaging trees similar to the guidelines that DPR contractors use. The agency's free design consultation services should be mandatory instead of optional during the permitting process.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Our Trees & Sidewalks Program aims to preserve mature street trees while repairing sidewalk damage caused by tree root growth. Our contractors employ a number of repair techniques to avoid cutting or shaving of roots, including tree bed expansion, ramping, and curving. For property owners repairing their sidewalks independently, we provide written guidelines as well as free in-person design consultation services to private contractors if requested as part of the permitting process. In-person design consultations are not mandatory since many contractors do not require them and this would delay the permitting process due to staffing limitations. More information is available on our website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/services/forestry/trees-sidewalks-program. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be determined at this time.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
4	Increase enforcement of canine waste laws	We understand that DSNY has eliminated its signage unit several years ago. However, it is imperative that Pooper Scooper law be enforced. Additional Sanitation Police Officers are needed to issue summonses to dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs. District 8 streets have become waste minefields that are difficult to navigate as the number of dog owners increases--as well as the number of careless dog owners. Canine waste has the potential to create health hazards for humans and other dogs. Dog owners must be held responsible for, and incentivized to properly care for their pets.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
4	Coding, Gaming, AI	Youth without constructive activities tend to fall behind their peers in educational attainment and social quotient.

5	Enhance home care services	Home care is a health service provided in the patient's home to promote, maintain, or restore health or lessen the effects of illness and disability. Services may include nursing care, speech, physical and occupational therapies, home health aide services and personal care services. Medicaid ineligible seniors should not be forced to pay exorbitant out of pocket costs for assistance in day to day needs. We encourage increasing home care services for homebound seniors to include not only basic care and assistance, but also for interactive conversation and companionship as a form of holistic healing.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
5	Increase resources for youth crime prevention programs	There is certainty that kids without productive and stimulating activities will engage in illegal activities not out of malice, but rather out of boredom. The midnight basketball program implemented in the 1990s was effective in reducing youth crime by offering alternative activities and stimulation. We urge funding for sports programs like this and similar, as well as STEM programs and other activities (gaming, cooking, gardening, etc) that youth may be interested in engaging with, to promote their social well-being. Every community district needs to have a PAL (police athletic league) building and programming available for youth.	every year since FY2022	This request has already been completed. DYCD funds three community centers in the district in addition to 2 Saturday Night Lights sports programs and many COMPASS afterschool programs.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: DYCD funds three community centers in the district in addition to 2 Saturday Night Lights sports programs and many COMPASS afterschool programs.
6	Create programs for Senior Vitality and Active Engagement programs	As more and more seniors are seeking active lives and trying to be outside to avoid social isolation, it is imperative that we create more options for senior vitality and active movement programs.

8	AI training for older adults	As the digital divide continues to grow wider, greater impacts are seen as our seniors are being left further and further behind. As AI use grows, it is difficult to discern fact from fiction, and this can lead to the potential for unintended victimization of our seniors. Consequently, it is crucial that technology, AI training, and coding programming be added to all Older Adult Centers so our seniors can stop viewing AI and technology as an alien concept.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYC Aging will need additional funding for this.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Create a new, or renovate or upgrade an existing public library	The Crown Heights branch of the Brooklyn Public Library has MAJOR CAPITAL needs. It has a $200,000 need for safety and security enhancements. The library is a community space that has not received adequate funding to address its ongoing needs which total over $6M dollars. If funding for repairs and upgrades continue to be delayed, future repairs will be added cost to taxpayers. Additionally, fixing delayed repairs has caused the library to be closed for extended periods of time.

The department carries out a range of recurring inspections, along with investigative and administrative reviews, to identify and address substandard work, prevent misconduct, and resolve complaints efficiently. QA inspectors perform visual inspections of a random sample of closed Corrective Maintenance WO (“CM WOs”) tickets during their ongoing rotation of development visits throughout the year. The inspections are performed on CM WOs that were completed by maintenance and skilled trades workers within the past 15 days of QCC’s visit to the development to ensure that recent repairs were completed up to industry standards. Unsatisfactory work result in the automatic creation of follow up work orders for the development in Maximo. In Q2 - 2025, QCC began to utilize the QA Dashboard to optimize selection of NYCHA locations and crafts to focus on for QCC follow-up. The dashboard is functioning as intended, and the Quality Assurance Unit is working with the Federal Monitor to continue improving the dashboard through small modifications, as needed, such as the ability to search corrective maintenance work tickets using specific date ranges versus just a month as originally designed. Residents who have concerns about specific conditions in their apartments or public areas that were supposed to be addressed can submit a complaint form through the NYCHA website (see link below, under "Submit a Concern"). Upon receiving the complaint, the Quality & Cost Control (QCC) Department will conduct a follow-up inspection. There will be no retaliation or disciplinary action taken against anyone who reports an issue, concern, or violation in good faith.

4	Other expense budget request for DPR	Increase funding for additional personnel to conduct rat abatement. With increased garbage and litter there has been an increase in the amount of rat sightings in our parks.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for additional maintenance staff to address rodent abatement but do not have expense funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
4	Other garbage collection and recycling requests	Allocate additional manpower to address "work left out" in the district. Garbage that is not collected attract litter, dumping and rodents.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding for additional collection is not available at this time. Please submit any missed collection issues to 311 so that Sanitation may address them as soon as possible.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
5	Other cleaning requests	Allocate funding for dedicated 12AM - 8AM broom Our community has commercial and manufacturing areas that have overnight street cleaning regulations. The dedicated broom would provide cleaning services on a daily basis and could provide additional cleaning service to the commercial corridors.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
6	Increase enforcement of dirty sidewalk/dirty area/failure to clean area laws	Funding for additional enforcement agents. Litter is an ongoing complaint received by Community Board 11. To keep litter from entering our waterways and surrounding beaches, enforcement of existing litter laws need to be enforced.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
7	Expand opportunities for electronic waste collection and disposal	Expand E-Waste curbside collection to prevent illegal dumping and the safe disposal of electronics.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
8	Vending Enforcement Headcount	Currently the unit is staffed with 40 sanitation police officers citywide. Additional manpower is needed to address the unlicensed general vendors and mobile food vendors.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	Roadway maintenance (resurfacing, trench restoration, etc.)	We request an increase in funding for annual street repaving. Not enough of our broken streets are repaired. This damages passing vehicles and underground infrastructure and is a safety hazard for pedestrians.	since FY2023	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Please provide specific locations for us to look into further.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Explanation: Please provide specific locations for us to look into further.
1	New equipment for maintenance	We are requesting a dedicated mini packer specifically for servicing Ocean Parkway. This would be a new vehicle for the job. Ocean Parkway Malls is often neglected and rarely maintained, despite being a nearly 5-mile-long bike and pedestrian path running through a high-density area with many taller-than-usual buildings. It serves as a popular park for elderly residents, dog walkers, joggers, and cyclists,likely the most frequented bike path in the area. However, this space is in poor condition, with litter, overgrowth, cracked pavement, and general neglect. After successfully advocating for the installation of waste baskets, we have discovered that a malfunctioning mini packer is causing frequent trash overflow. After successfully advocating for the installation of waste baskets, it was discovered that a malfunctioning mini packer is causing frequent trash overflow. Our residents deserve better maintenance of this important public space. While Ocean Parkway may be an unconventional park, it is critical to the quality of life for thousands of residents. This is a basic city service, and our community should be able to rely on the regular city budget to maintain it properly.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for a new mini packer vehicle to help maintain the Ocean Parkway Malls but we do not have funding available. We have a City-mandated limit on the number of vehicles in our agency fleet.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
1	Improve accessibility of transit infrastructure, by providing elevators, escalators, etc.	Due to the large number of young children, senior citizens, parents with strollers, and individuals with mobility challenges (including those using walkers or wheelchairs), many residents struggle to access train platforms. There is an urgent need to install elevators at the D and F lines. While some stations got or are slated to get accessibility improvements, the 18th and McDonald Avenue stations are key transfer points to several bus lines and remain inaccessible. Additionally, the 50th and 55th Street stations on New Utrecht Avenue on the D line, which is the closest subway stop to Maimonides Medical Center,a major trauma center and one of New York State's busiest birth centers,also requires accessibility upgrades. We urge NYCTA to prioritize these stations for accessibility improvements. These requests have been made for some time, and despite announcements of increased accessibility at other stations, these particular locations remain underserved. Governor Hochul's recent statements on expanding accessible stations are encouraging, but adding these critical locations to the list would greatly alleviate the accessibility challenges faced by our residents. These concerns have been shared with all relevant government agencies advocating for the necessary improvements.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
2	Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming	Location: Ocean Parkway - Avenue K & Avenue K We request a pedestrian crossing for the Ave. K & Ocean Parkway intersection. As of now there is no pedestrian crossing for 2/5th of a mile, from Ave. J to Ave. L. It is a matter of public safety to install a traffic light that allows pedestrians to cross safely. A traffic light will slow traffic on this stretch where cars routinely speed up because there are no traffic calming measures in place. There has been an increase in midnight drag racing, donuts, and speeding. A traffic light and crosswalk would go a long way to solving this problem. This item was recommended for further study last year, we request the same.	since FY2021	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. This intersection study is underway and we will share results as soon we have them.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively Explanation: This intersection study is underway and we will share results as soon we have them.
2	Reconstruct or upgrade a park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	COL. MARCUS PARK - A comfort station is urgently needed in the playground area. Currently, many children and adults must cross East 5th Street to reach the restrooms on the other side of the park. This is a busy, heavily trafficked street, and requiring park-goers to cross it to use the restroom creates unnecessary risks. A restroom located within the playground area, especially for the children using the park, is essential for their comfort and safety.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. We disagree that there is a need for an additional restroom at Colonel David Marcus Playground.	This request is not recommended for funding.
3	Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming	There is a large school near 13th Ave and 36th St. that necessitates crossing 36th St. for most students. And although the area has been dedicated a school zone, there is no traffic calming devices for the entire stretch of 36th St. from Church Ave. (past Clara, Tehama, and Louisa Street) all the way until 12th Ave. Another school is coming to this area, which will make it even more important to have the area safe. We need a crosswalk at 36th St. and 13th Ave., with some mechanism to have cars stop for pedestrians to cross.	since FY2023	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. 13th Avenue and 36th Street has been approved for an all-way stop sign. For Martense Lane between 12th Avenue and Church Avenue, we have submitted a request to look at this. Please follow up with our office regarding it. Please note that neither of these requests are budget requests.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively Explanation: 13th Avenue and 36th Street has been approved for an all-way stop sign. For Martense Lane between 12th Avenue and Church Avenue, we have submitted a request to look at this. Please follow up with our office regarding it. Please note that neither of these requests are budget requests.
3	Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	Location: Fort Hamilton Parkway Rappaport Park (at 53rd Street & Fort Hamilton Parkway) is the last remaining roller hockey rink in Brooklyn and is in urgent need of renovation. The hockey rink, fencing, and seating have not been renovated in at least 30 years. Additionally, the playground at Rappaport Park needs a complete reconstruction, redesign and upgrade. This includes play equipment, safety surface, bollard spray shower, drainage, pavement, benches, drinking fountains, landscaping, drinking fountains, and landscaping, reconstruction basketball and handball courts. The Parks Department has recognized this as one of the top capital project needs for our district.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for improvements to the roller hockey rink and play equipment at Rappaport Playground but do not have capital funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
4	Reconstruct streets	Location: 37th street - 14th Ave & 14th Ave 37th Street between 14th and 15th Avenues is in urgent need of reconstruction. Community Board 12 has requested funding for this project in multiple years (FY 2018 212201807C, FY 2022 212202204C, FY 2023 212202305C). However, we were informed that it does not qualify for standard street repaving due to unique features of this street, such as the lack of curb cuts. This section is plagued by potholes, sinkholes, cracked pavement, and lack of sidewalks which pose a danger to both drivers and pedestrians. The untreated potholes and depressions lead to frequent flooding with every rainstorm. The Department of Transportation (DOT) recommended funding for this request last year, and we continue to stress that this infrastructure upgrade is essential.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request but funding cannot be determined at this time. DOT has an unfunded capital project to reconstruct the roadway of 37th Street and install standard curbs and sidewalk.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: The agency supports this request but funding cannot be determined at this time. DOT has an unfunded capital project to reconstruct the roadway of 37th Street and install standard curbs and sidewalk.
1	Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs	We are requesting more funding for Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) branches to improve and expand the programs they offer. Right now, each branch has a basic set of programs, but with extra funding, they can provide more. This could include things like Creative Aging art classes for older adults, kids' events with paid performers, author talks for schools, and workshops like podcasting that need special equipment. Each branch decides which programs and supplies they need based on their community's interests. Some branches already get extra funding from local elected officials to help with these kinds of programs. More funding will allow BPL branches to better serve our communities with more programs and better resources for everyone.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports increased operational funding to equitably expand programming.	Restoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.
1	Study land use and zoning to better match current use or future neighborhood needs	One of the major issues plaguing the district is the lack of affordable housing. To that end, we request some long overdue studies of commercial areas in our district, specifically the commercial strip spanning 60th street, for the purposes of being rezoned for residential development with a major focus on affordable housing.	since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. DCP is committed to increasing housing capacity, including affordable housing, in Community District 12. M1 and C8 zones in CD 12 are currently under review by DCP as required per recent City Council Legislation 1012. The Department would be happy to meet with CB 12 and other local stakeholders to better understand their ideas and future vision for these areas. DCP will reach out to CB 12 in January and follow up to gather more information.	The agency requires additional information from the community board regarding this request
1	Inspect storm sewer on specific street segment and service, repair or replace as needed	The areas around 18th Avenue and 60th Street, as well as the length of 13th Avenue, are particularly hard-hit by heavy rains, with many videos circulating on social media showing the extent of the flooding. These are high-traffic areas, and the flooding makes it difficult for both residents and city buses to navigate through knee-deep water. It's clear that these areas may require not only regular catch basin cleaning but also infrastructure upgrades, as the problem has been worsening over time.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
1	Funding for a new senior center program	The senior centers in our district are in urgent need of funding to support essential programming for older adults. As the senior population evolves, centers have worked to modernize their offerings to meet the needs of a younger generation of seniors (ages 65-75) who are recently retired or have lost their jobs due to COVID-19. These seniors, many of whom are second-generation children of Holocaust survivors, require stimulating programs, counseling, and specialized services to enhance their lives. Additionally, our kosher residents rely on kosher centers, which are currently severely underfunded, and extra funding is needed to cover the increased cost of kosher food. The shifting demographics of the senior population also call for adjustments, for example, there is an increasing number of Polish-speaking seniors, requiring translation services. While we were informed last year that further study is needed, we request that this study be conducted as soon as possible to ensure that our senior centers can adapt to these changing needs.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need additional funding to meet this request.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations	Our district faces a persistent mosquito problem from spring through fall, with swarms throughout the streets. We urgently need increased mosquito spraying to address this issue. Small pools of standing water throughout the area serve as breeding grounds, making regular spraying essential to keep the mosquito population at manageable levels. Rats also contribute to property damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and other building materials. The surge in the rat population, combined with the ongoing mosquito issue, creates a public health concern that requires urgent attention. Effective pest control strategies, including enhanced waste management and targeted rodent control measures, are essential to mitigate the impact of both pests on the community. We are getting a major increase of calls related to skunks in many areas of the district. Currently, DOH only deals with rats. We are requesting that DOH's responsibilities be expanded to include removal of larger rodents like skunks and possums.	since FY2023	This request has already been completed. DOHMH is happy to discuss further on ways to partner for information dissemination on our existing outreach for mosquito treatment activities. As a reminder, there is no set schedule for mosquito spraying. Skunks and possums are protected native wildlife under NY State law and property owners must hire licensed wildlife trappers to remove and relocate.	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
1	Other traffic improvement requests	There are simply not enough HIQA inspectors to make an impact. HIQA's mission is to "increase the level of safety for both pedestrian and vehicle travel" and to "expedite the flow of traffic around construction zones." However, permit stipulations are frequently ignored, resulting in significant disruptions. Sometimes our district comes to a complete standstill because violators feel they have a right to close any street anytime they want. To address this issue, it is essential to increase the number of HIQA inspectors to ensure better enforcement and compliance. Often, DOT inspectors are not dispatched quickly enough to be effective, with many arriving only after construction is completed. More inspectors, and therefore faster response times, would be highly beneficial. Additionally, we request that a dedicated inspector be permanently assigned to the CB12 area and work in close coordination with the Community Board, which is often the first to identify permit violations. This request was denied last year, but the problem persists and requires a solution.	since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. We do not assign HIQA inspectors to specific community boards.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: We do not assign HIQA inspectors to specific community boards.
1	Provide better park maintenance	Ocean Parkway is a highly trafficked Special District that must not be allowed to deteriorate. Some of our elected officials have designated monies for the upgrade and beautification of the Malls. Maintenance must be ongoing to make sure the upgrades and beautification remain intact. In order to maintain this arena in a sanitary and groomed condition, a crew should be assigned to maintain this thoroughfare and prevent homeless people from sleeping on the benches. An additional crew cab truck is requested to transport them the length and breadth of this roadway. The Malls and trees must receive regular attention. Last year the response to this ask was that a larger expense budget would be required, the conditions have deteriorated since. For some, this is the only accessible green space	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for a new mini packer to service the Ocean Parkway Malls but do not have funding available. We have a City-mandated limit on the number of vehicles in our agency fleet.	The agency agrees with this request, but the funding decision follows a different budget process (i.e., RFP, local level decision)
1	Increase enforcement of illegal dumping laws	There has been an increase in dumping. A few hotspots require consistent attention. Increasing enforcement is an essential deterrent. A $4,000 violation as an actual probability, instead of a mythological possibility, may deter would-be violators. The dumping breeds unsanitary conditions and rodents. Since then DSNY has implemented a camera program to catch offenders, we request funding to place a few more cameras in strategic locations to help alleviate this problem. We need enforcement to work closely with the Super and CB12 to best place cameras.	since FY2024	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	Other expense budget request for DYCD	Our Community-Based Organizations rely heavily on DYCD funding to sustain their essential programs, which are a critical lifeline for our residents. Several programs, in particular, require increased funding to meet growing demand. These include food pantry services, crisis intervention programs, and general social services. Additionally, our CBOs offer valuable digital literacy programs that are currently underfunded. Enhancing digital literacy is key to improving access to information, which in turn can positively impact many aspects of daily life. Increased support for these programs would have a far-reaching effect on the well-being and empowerment of our community.	since FY2022	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Presently, there are a variety of agency-funded programs in the district for this target population. Additional programs are contingent upon available funding and will be distributed through an RFP process. Organizations are encouraged to apply.	Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: Presently, there are a variety of agency-funded programs in the district for this target population. Additional programs are contingent upon available funding and will be distributed through an RFP process. Organizations are encouraged to apply.
1	Other expense budget request for HRA	In previous years, we have requested the establishment of an HRA service center in our district. While we understand that funding for this request may not be feasible, we are now asking that HRA provide resources and personnel at our office, including a specialized scanning machine for clients to upload documents. ACCESS HRA is a valuable tool for those with internet and smartphone access, but for many residents of CB 12, who lack these resources, it becomes a significant barrier. These individuals are left with no choice but to travel to distant job centers, which is both inconvenient and burdensome. Since we are a city agency with the capacity to provide these services, HRA should be able to support our community by offering these essential resources locally. We have the space and capability to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. HRA encourages those who can use the ACCESS HRA website to take advantage of all it has to offer (including benefit application submissions and case management). Community-Based Organizations also provide help with completing applications and screening applicants for eligibility to the various programs. Some locations can also help with submitting documents to DSS electronically.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.
1	Hire additional traffic enforcement agents	Our district is in urgent need of Traffic Control Agents who can be assigned to address areas of concern throughout the community. Specific locations of high concern include 18th Avenue from 45th Street to Ocean Parkway, 15th Avenue from 42nd Street to 45th Street, 14th Avenue from 49th Street to 42nd Street, 13th Avenue from 39th Street to 54th Street, Avenues I and J from McDonald Avenue to Coney Island Avenue, and Fort Hamilton Parkway from 36th Street to 46th Street. These are some of the most congested areas, though other locations may require attention based on seasonal traffic fluctuations and other variables. Traffic congestion and excessive horn honking are particularly problematic during the AM and PM rush hours.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Each Patrol Borough enforces traffic laws as needed as a result of traffic conditions and community complaints.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Other community board facilities and staff requests	community Boards are in desperate need of a base-line budget increase. Current community boards' budgets leave little room for competitive salaries, making recruitment and retention of professional staff difficult. As a recent NYC Council hearing, many Boards testified that they only have one or two employees, some of them only working part time. This makes our function of service delivery very difficult. We have charter mandated requirements without the ability to hire the qualified staff needed to meet the requirements. The cost of goods and services has also increased, which further erodes our meager budgets.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As of the FY 2027 Preliminary Budget, each Community Board’s budget is being maintained.	As of the FY 2027 Executive Budget, each Community Board's budget is being maintained.
1	Other workforce development requests	A large number of residents in our district do not have college degrees, and many also face language barriers. Investing in targeted vocational training, along with NYOD English language classes, is a priority that could help raise the low incomes many families are currently experiencing. Our residents are intelligent and capable, and they would benefit from training focused on high-paying, in-demand skills, as well as improving their English proficiency. Currently, there are no Work Force 1 (WF1) centers nearby to serve our district, so providing funding to fill this gap would be a valuable investment. We are requesting that Work Force 1 collaborate with our local CBO, the Boro Park Jewish Community Council, and our local public libraries to provide these vital services to our community.	since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS can do targeted outreach to promote training opportunities in partnership with the Workforce1 Centers near the district: Industrial and Transportation Center Brooklyn (Brooklyn Army Terminal 140 58th Street, Building). We can also deploy our Mobile Outreach Unit and partner with any local organizations interested in welcoming us to their communities to connect New Yorkers to our services. We encourage community boards and organization interested in inviting us to reach us at intergov@sbs.nyc.gov.	The Agency will accommodate this request within existing resources, but the community board should contact the Agency with additional information.
2	Clean catch basins	Regular cleaning of catch basins is crucial. Recent storms have highlighted that the current reactive approach to cleaning is ineffective. Every time it rains, we experience consistent flooding throughout the district, and the flooding often disrupts daily life for days. Catch basins should be cleaned every year rather than once every three years, before issues are reported. Catch basins should be cleaned annually rather than once every three years, and the cleaning should be done proactively before issues are reported. The city's infrastructure is severely lacking in its ability to manage rainfall, as demonstrated by the severe impacts recent storms have had. One straightforward way to ease the strain on our already inadequate storm water system is to ensure that the drains are clear and unobstructed.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
2	Other senior center program requests	Our community-based organizations are requesting an increase in funding for the SOS (Supporting Our Seniors) Initiative due to the growing number of younger seniors in the community. This initiative is specifically designed to assist seniors with navigating the process of applying for programs they are newly eligible for, such as Medicare, SSI, Social Security benefits, and other need-based programs like Medicaid and SNAP, which they may qualify for due to a reduction in income. Additionally, there is a pressing need for funding to support social events and activities that help seniors stay connected, engaged, and active within the community. This funding is crucial to ensure our seniors continue to receive the support and opportunities they need to thrive.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need additional funding to meet this request.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
2	Other traffic improvement requests	Location: 60th Street and 13th Ave We request DOT upgrade street signs and markings as needed. Specifically, the traffic light on 60th St and 13th Ave. Drivers on 13th Ave heading south must turn left or right when they get to the 60th St intersection because 13th Ave. becomes a ONE-WAY street. Multiple vehicles go the wrong way southbound from 60th St to 59th St. Drivers need easily visible direction ON the traffic light; either a sign indicating only turns are allowed or lights with arrows turning right or left. The problem persists and can be fixed with a sign directed to the drivers who drive the wrong way. We asked the Boro Commissioner, per the response when this request was denied, to no avail. Community Board 12 wonders how many injuries or death are required for DOT to recognize the necessity of this.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As mentioned previously, we have inspected this intersection and determined that no further signage is needed.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: As mentioned previously, we have inspected this intersection and determined that no further signage is needed.
2	Forestry services, including street tree maintenance	While PARKS follows a multi-year pruning cycle, many trees fall into disrepair long before that time frame. The number of incidents involving falling trees or branches has been increasing in our district, due to delays in the treatment and removal of diseased or dying trees. Recent storms have underscored the serious damage caused by falling trees, not only to personal and public property but also to downed power lines. These outages are both disruptive and costly. It should not be the burden of NYC residents to pay out-of-pocket for tree trimming. Our community is forced to make an unfair choice: either allow the trees to damage their property and disrupt their surroundings or spend money they may not have,and likely won't recoup,on trimming overgrown, invasive trees. This is further complicated by a permitting process that is often confusing and difficult to navigate. We are requesting additional resources to ensure a safer, more proactive approach to tree maintenance, with a specific focus on monitoring tree health and preventing falls during severe weather. Additionally, the current timeline for replacing trees is far too long. We request more resources to expedite this process. It is the city's responsibility to maintain its trees in a way that ensures the safety of its residents, preventing the risk of falling branches and other hazards.	since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. We agree with the need for more funding and resources to increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, for conditions that can be reached from the ground, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information. As part of our new Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will be planting trees in every viable location across the city on a predictable 9-year cycle, prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Find out when we will be planting each neighborhood on the Parks website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/street-tree-planting..	The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this.
2	Provide more frequent garbage or recycling pick-up for schools and institutions	Public schools have daily trash collection. Private schools that serve ~100k children 3 meals daily year-round have twice weekly pickups. We request funding for sanitation employees to service daily trash collection for ALL schoolchildren in CB12. Enrollment in private schools outnumbers public school enrollment here. Daily school trach pickups must be implemented to remedy the quality of life and public health concerns of decaying foods. The FY22 (212202001E) response was that this is not a budget request, yet DSNY continues to deny this service claiming a lack of funding. Last year, FY23 (212202301E), this was not recommended for funding. We respectfully request reconsideration.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY is not currently funded for additional pickup for private schools.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: DSNY is not currently funded for additional pickup for private schools.
2	Other NYPD programs requests	We request resources to remove vehicles that are parked on residential streets. We need increased use of, or a dedicated, NYPD tow truck to remove offending vehicles. Parking is scarce in our district, and illegally parked vehicles make it more so. Laws are ineffective if not enforced. These vehicles create unsafe conditions when large trucks park on dark, quiet streets. Large groups hanging out and lewd behavior are hidden by trucks on quiet streets, which creates a perfect scenario for people with bad intentions. Our residents deserve to park at night and walk at night without fear. We've been told to bring this to the attention of the precinct. We have, repeatedly. We ask for a top-down approach to resolve this issue.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Each Patrol Borough enforces traffic laws as needed as a result of traffic conditions and community complaints.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice
3	Conduct traffic or parking studies	Location: 18th Avenue - 45th Street & 45th Street Traffic is very congested along 18th Ave., specifically from 45th Street to Ocean Parkway and especially during morning hours. 18th Ave., an already major thoroughfare, intersects with McDonald Ave. where the F line subway station is. This creates both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. We are requesting a thorough engineering study to determine the feasibility of certain measures to alleviate the strain. For instance, the possibility of adding an additional lane with interchangeable directions depending on the time of day (as is done at various locations in other cities) or adding turning lanes.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. This corridor has not been identified as being in need of a redesign.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: This corridor has not been identified as being in need of a redesign.
3	Forestry services, including street tree maintenance	PARKS advised that the funds to repair sidewalks damaged by trees was increased. However, this increased funding has not yet resulted in actual repairs. We request PARKS repair the sidewalks damaged by trees as they said they would. Some of these areas are extremely dangerous for pedestrians and have been waiting for repairs for an exceptionally long time.	since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. Due to limited resources, the Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be accommodated with current staffing levels. If you are a homeowner with time-sensitive needs for sidewalk repair, or you own a non-Tax Class 1 property that is not eligible for Parks’ Trees & Sidewalks Program, repairing the sidewalk through an independent contractor is often the quickest solution. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. If you wish to file a claim against the City of New York for the cost of repairs you performed to your sidewalk because of damage that you believe was caused by a City tree, you may do so by filing a claim with the New York City Comptroller’s Office within 90 days of performing the repair.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
3	Other garbage collection and recycling requests	We are requesting the return of a permanent cleaning officer to the district. Currently BK12 does not have a dedicated cleaning officer. Such an officer would go a long way to remedy the chronic littering in high litter areas.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
3	Hire additional staff to address specific crimes (e.g. drug, gang-related, vice, etc.)	We are requesting an increase in officers to focus specifically on enforcement of mopeds, electric bikes, and electric assist bicycles on sidewalks and bike paths. With the explosion of moped share companies and other electric capable bikes comes the risk of pedestrian injury. These riders should be on the streets- but it is impossible to walk 3 blocks on city sidewalks without needing to dodge such vehicles. Another problem is the danger to cyclists on the Ocean Parkway bike lane. Bike lanes are meant for cyclists, e-bikes included, not mopeds. In this climate of transportation alternatives advocacy it is incumbent upon us to make the existing bike lanes safe. But, cyclists getting hit by mopeds is a too frequent situation.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
4	Conduct traffic or parking studies	13th Avenue is the commercial heart of CB12, attracting shoppers from all over due to its unique ethnic vibe. On any given day, over 10,000 people pass through this bustling shopping strip. With parking at a premium, it can take up to an hour to travel the 23 blocks. The avenue hasn't seen any major redesign in over 21 years, and it's in urgent need of a comprehensive engineering study to identify solutions for the severe traffic and parking congestion, particularly during rush hours. We are requesting such a study to explore potential improvements, such as adding a reversible lane based on time of day, creating dedicated turning lanes, or possibly restricting parking at certain times to improve traffic flow. While we were informed that more data is needed before any decision can be made, we have yet to receive the necessary information to proceed.	since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. This is not a budget request. This corridor has not been identified as being in need of a redesign.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: This is not a budget request. This corridor has not been identified as being in need of a redesign.
4	Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement)	We are requesting funding for additional Parks personnel to secure and lock all parks in our district after dusk like Gravesend Park due to many incidents happening at nighttime. Elected officials have invested significant funds to upgrade our parks into state-of-the-art facilities that provide safe, enjoyable outdoor spaces for children. However, the absence of proper security has led to undesirable activity in these parks, which discourages young people from engaging in positive, recreational activities. It is unfortunate that these substantial investments are at risk of being undermined due to security issues.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for additional maintenance staff to secure parks after hours but do not have expense funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
4	Other cleaning requests	We are asking to increase the number of brooms from five to six to be able to complete the broom routes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and increase the Wednesday broom route from three to four. DSNY has claimed in the past that there are no available resources to accommodate this request.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding for additional brooms and additional routes is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
5	Conduct traffic or parking studies	Location: Avenue J - McDonald Avenue & McDonald Avenue A complete traffic study on Avenue J from McDonald Avenue to Coney Island Avenue is needed as well, especially at the intersection of Avenue J and Bay Parkway where there is a constant bottleneck.

OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: This location is not identified as a location requiring safety enhancements.
6	Provide more frequent garbage or recycling pick-up	We are also requesting the reinstatement of the mechanical sweeper on the midnight shift (12:00 AM to 8:00 AM), six days a week. Our district consistently receives low ratings on the cleanliness scorecard, and restoring this service would greatly help improve this situation. DSNY continues to state that no resources are available for this service.	since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
7	Conduct traffic or parking studies	There are many private and public schools along Fourteenth Avenue that transport children to and from school by buses.

1	Need a new Multi-Use Recreational Senior Center	With the growing senior population in the district, we urgently need additional senior centers. Because public land in the area is limited, a multi-use facility should be constructed to serve as a multicultural, intergenerational recreational center on City-owned property. One potential site is the City-owned land at the West 23rd Street Pumping Station, which could be developed into this much-needed facility. Another viable location is the Abe Stark Skating Rink site, which will require relocation and renovation due to upcoming housing developments.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need another funding to meet this need.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.

This past year, we invested $163 million in the youth safety and success initiative, for you youth in and transitioning out of foster care and services to help prevent justice involvement. Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,000 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic and career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program. (40 slots which equate to 80 youth via expansion of DYCD’s Advance and Earn Program & 232 stipends for eligible youth)	For more information, please contact the agency.

2	Air Quality Study for our community board	We need to address air quality issues in Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Gravesend and Sea Gate. The community historically suffers from a high incidence of respiratory illness affecting the neighborhood population, thought to have been initially caused or worsened by the infiltration of mold and poor air quality resulting from the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Some people did not properly eliminate molds from their buildings. People who are sensitive to molds have become sick and we need to test the air quality at these locations. With better technology, air monitors can isolate the problem. The current DEC study does not include the west end of Coney Island, and Brighton Beach area. We need a separate study to address our issue. An epidemiological study of the area's respiratory illnesses, including an in-depth examination of the neighborhood's air quality and other contributing factors, is requested to enable us to effectively advocate for strategies that would improve the quality of the health of our neighbors and our environment.	every year since FY2023	This request has already been completed.

5	Increase resources for youth crime prevention programs	We need to increase resources for youth crime prevention programs such as the Explorers Program and Saturday Night Lights. Also, we would like to set up a Drone Soccer league for our youth. We realized that not all youth are athletic and should have other options instead of sports. We need to offer the youth more positive activities and not fear law enforcement officers.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Process	Please note that the following needs are in the order of the District Needs Statement narrative. Health and Human Services are first; followed by Youth, Education and Children's Services; Public Safety and Emergency Response; Core Infrastructure, City Services and Resiliency; Housing, Land Use and Economic Development; Transportation; Parks and then Other. DCP's process requires CBs to list community needs in a misleading priority order. It has been stated in the District Needs Statement that we believe that needs are intertwined within and across agencies and do not believe it serves a purpose to have needs for parks to face off against needs for libraries (for example). What all agencies need at this time is an increase in their respective and collective capacity and ability to coordinate better within and with other sister city agencies. That's priority one across the board.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed. This request was addressed this year. Following extensive consultation with community board partners, the prioritization of community board budget requests was updated in the district needs submission platform for the FY2027 submission cycle to categorize requests by agency, rather than requiring discrete lists of rank-ordered requests across all agencies. DCP is appreciative of Brooklyn CB 14 and others who similarly voiced interest in moving away from the prior priority system.	This request has already been completed.

1	Evaluate a public location or property for green infrastructure, e.g. rain gardens, stormwater greenstreets, green playgrounds	There are several locations in the district that flood chronically in rainstorms. These locations have all been brought to DEP's attention. It is difficult to identify what and where speficially capaital projects are needed. They were apparently needed in the several locations where DEP had to make emergency repairs. We ask DEP to respond to the requests pending and ADVISE as to where upgrades and repairs are needed. During City of Yes for housing public hearing testimony, several community members and their council representatives decried flooding issues throughout the city. What does it say about DEPs capacity and coordination abilities that this was such a widespread concern and that it had to be expressed at a zoning hearing? Where is the DEP platform proactively upgrading infrastructure before we get to emergency repairs? There have been five recent emergency sewer repair jobs in the district just in the past months. These emergencies take months to fix and rely on other agencies and utilities for timely coordination. Furthermore, since they are "emergency" projects there is no Community Liaison assigned to keep the neighbors apprised. If this isn't indicative of the need for proactive maintenance, what is? DEP must provide solutions because property, businesses and public areas should not have to withstand chronic flooding. What capital projects would help in these various locations: bioswales, catch basins, permeable surface additions, holding tanks?	every year since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	New public parks	CD14 is about the lowest ranking community board citywide for access to public green space. There are few locations to devleop parks but they should be explored. A CB14 Fund for the City of New York Planning Fellow, made recommendations in 2017, some of which are no longer viable. The agency response to this is to ask local elected officials, which raises the overalll concern about agency capacity and coordination. DPR should have a capital budget capacity that is adequate to meet capital needs based on objective community assessments rather than the vagaries of overlapping, term-limited political borders.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request to acquire and develop new parkland within Community Board 14 but do not have capital funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.

1	More affordable housing for low and extremely low income households	In HPD's own Mayor's Management Report, it was stated in the capital budget section that, "HPD must work to restore lost affordable housing capacity." Affordable housing is dropping as a share of housing in CD 14. Low and extremely low-income housing is always the smallest percentage of new developments, and they tend to be smaller units such as studios and 1 bedroom, making low-income housing for families nearly nonexistent. There are also pressing needs for senior housing and supportive housing in the community. HPD reported a $9.25 billion 5-year capital fund but no additional capital was budgeted at the time due to headcount constraints prohibiting projects from moving forward. This must be remedied to ensure that the $250 million infrastructure funds to support housing and training technology, new supportive housing builds, capital preservation, and In Rem capital projects can be funded to meet community needs. In CB14 there are 800 housing code violations for every 1000 units. HPD must improve capacity and coordinate within and with other agencies to meet this urgent need.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units. While HPD is breaking affordable housing production records, there is more work to be done. HPD will continue to maximize the use of subsidy and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to projects in our development pipeline throughout the Five Boroughs, including those serving Very Low Income (VLI) and Extremely Low Income (ELI) populations.	This item is not eligible for capital funding.
1	Repair or upgrade subway stations or other transit infrastructure	Location: Church Ave and E 18 St Church Avenue is the most heavily utilized station in the district and is in disrepair. A public private partnership is in place to install an elevator to make the station ADA compliant. Other upgrades and additional security cameras must accompany this project, especially given that this will be more heavily utilized by vulnerable community members.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Renovate or upgrade existing precinct houses	While NYPD continues the search for an appropriate location for a new precinct house, the current precinct house floods and leaks and does not have adequate lockers, storage, parking, nor is it handicap accessible. We have hesitated to prioritize capital dollars for a precinct house that should be replaced but as conditions worsen, there's a more urgent concern. There should not be a need for volunteer community assistance to maintain a precinct house. Work orders should be addressed quickly but at this point, many work orders are putting band aids on hemorrhages. NYPD should offer to buyout and help relocate Adapt Community Network in order to build on the block. In addition, the vacant lot on the block should be explored as a potential parking facility for the 70th Precinct.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYPD’s capital plan doesn’t include funding for a replacement precinct stationhouse. New funding to cover all associated costs are needed before this project can move forward.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Provide a new or expand an existing elementary school	DOE still acknowledges CD 14 as a district in need of seats. When last measured at full capacity, PS 139 was at 121% of utilization; PS 127was 125%; PS 249 was at 128%, PS 193 at 111%; PS 315 was at 118% and the PS 152 Annex was at 146%. Since annexes are built to address overcrowding, an overcrowded annex boldly underscores the need for additional elementary school seats in the northern end of the District. The elementary schools listed above are all north of Avenue L. DOE and SCA need to provide a new needs assessment based on population changes and class size mandates. SCA no longer has the capacity to show up to CB Committee meetings to engage with community members and provide updates on ongoing capital projects or discuss building needs. Therefore it is difficult to provide specifics here.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.

2	Cortelyou Branch expansion	Consider a building rehabilitation and expansion of the Cortelyou Road branch to increase space and opportunities to expand programming. The fact that this branch is a one-story building with a deep set back, suggests that there is developable space. In fact, CB14 notes this location in a HPD request suggesting a coordinated exploration of this site for both a library rehab and co-located housing (the Brooklyn Heights library is an example of such mixed use development).	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports this request; however, the Library does not have the resources to expand space at Cortelyou Library.	It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.
2	Roadway maintenance (resurfacing, trench restoration, etc.)	Six years ago, DOT identified $60 million for trench repair but none of it was allocated to CD14, despite worsening conditions. We have been told that this funding was never applied to a repair and there is no funding for trench restoration. There must be an increase in the budget for road and street infrastructure repair. Seven locations have been submitted to DOT. 564 East 29th Street; 1781 Ocean Avenue/SE corner of Avenue M; 715 Ocean Parkway Service Road; Waldorf Court between East 17 and Dead End; Hillel Place and Kenilworth Place intersection; 464-476 East 16th Street; and East 16th Street between Avenue H and the dead end. DOT addresses these complaints by filling in the depressions with asphalt. Bus pads at the East 18th and Church Avenue station are in disrepair. Delineators are constantly strewn in streets, intersections and sidewalks. The constant need for repair should raise questions about efficiency. Can't DOT do better?	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Funding is not available. for this. Additionally, DOT is not planning on funding new projects solely based on trench restorations. We will be working on initiating state of good repair street reconstruction projects that include trench restorations.

2	Other capital budget request for DPR	The Lakeshore project is a multi-million-dollar green infrastructure project that would create marshland, utilize storm water for the benefit of the park and mitigate damaging flood conditions that affect homes, businesses, and other city assets such as the Parade Ground, the SRG Precinct, bus stops and more. It is a project that would increase access to the parks for mobility limited individuals. Funding this project addresses several capacity and coordination goals. Last year the agency responded that this project is funded. That is not so. This is at least a $20 million project and in FY 25, $5million was allocated to the second phase. This project must be fully funded, supported and expedited.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. We have $20 million of funding in place for the Lakeshore Restoration Project and expect phase 1 of construction to be completed in 2028. For more information, please visit: https://www.prospectpark.org/learn-more/what-we-do/advancing-the-park/capital-projects-tracker/ We support the request for additional funding for further phases of restoration.	This request is partially funded.
2	Low income, supportive and senior housing	The need for senior housing, supportive housing and increasing low and extremely low income housing will likely see greater pressures depending on how City of Yes for housing passes. There are few mandates to create housing that generates less process and is dependent on support programs, such as vouchers. CB14 has lost housing at 30% AMI as a share of housing overall. There are very few public lots in CB14 but HPD must work creatively to identify potential sites for 100% affordable developments. There is one municipal parking lot, a DOE building on Avenue M and Ocean Avenue and our libraries are one and two story buildings. These sites should be explored and HPD should be able to explain the reasons if they are not feasible for truly affordable housing projects.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD is happy to partner with other agencies that have public land to consider development projects to advance affordable housing. Our ability to consider these projects hinges on our partner agencies' willingness and capacity to transfer these sites for redevelopment. HPD advises CB14 to engage with the agencies that own the properties mentioned in this budget request on their future plans for the site. Through Executive Order 43 of 2024 (Prioritizing Housing Production and Accelerating the Production of Housing on City Sites) the City convened a task force to review all land under City ownership and evaluate for potential housing production. This work will continue through Executive Order 4 of 2026 (Leveraging City-Owned Land to Accelerate Housing, "LIFT") which will review City and other publicly-owned sites to assess and develop strategies for housing generation.

2	Improve accessibility of transit infrastructure, by providing elevators, escalators, etc.	The 18th Avenue Stop on the Culver Line is on the same block as the United Cerebral Palsey complex. This stop was recently upgraded. It's unfortunate that accessibility was not one of the improvements.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

2	Capital investments in Towing capacity	Every day there is a community request to have a vehicle towed. There are also trucks and trailers-some attached, some not. When they have plates or a later model and/or luxury vehicles and can only be towed by NYPD, it can take several weeks and more. PD notes that there is a shortage of large tow vehicles. Last year they asked CBs to request a new tow pound and then responded that they did not support the request. We strongly urge capital expenditures to increase the number of large tow vehicles and identify an additional tow pound as needed.	every year since FY2024	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Additional NYPD resources for this project are unavailable at this time due to funding constraints. However, the program will continue to operate within current funding levels.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice
3	Other transportation infrastructure requests	Ensure that sidewalks, curbs, street and bus pads are maintained at all bus stops. The bus stop at Church Avenue and East 18th street, which is a heavily utilized connection to the Brighton Line at the Church Avenue station is hazardous in both directions. The sidewalks require repair, the curbs are dilapidated and the streets have waving and pot holes. DOT installed an express lane on this stop and should have ensured bus pad, sidewalk and street maintenance along each stop during that project.	every year since FY2025	This request has already been completed. This location was resurfaced in Summer 2025. Please let us know if there are further issues.	Sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. For curb repair, please submit specific locations to the Borough Commissioner for review. For Pedestrian Ramps, the Adopted Budget includes a Citywide allocation. Specific locations are determined by DOT.
3	Reconstruct or upgrade a park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	The Hot Spot Tot Lot on Campus Road is the only DPR asset that has not had a capital upgrade in over a decade. DPR should have greater control of capital purse strings to maintain parks and playgrounds in communities according to conditions and time between upgrades rather than relying on elected officials for capital funds. Usually those making the allocations will be term limited before the ribbon cutting. Please don't reply, "ask your elected officials." At least provide the scope estimate and support for this request.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request to improve Hot Spot Tot Lot but do not have capital funding available. Please contact the Brooklyn Parks Commissioner's Office to discuss cost estimates for improvements to the playground.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
3	Renovate or upgrade existing precinct houses	The time is now. The history of efforts to relocate this aging facility goes back three decades. In 2006, DCAS began property acquisition at 1326 Ocean Avenue and NYPD set aside $30 million for the property, and OMB stated its commitment to identify additional funding. Construction was set to begin in 2013. It did not and the site was lost to a market rate housing development. A $1 million scoping study to asses the feasibility of building a new precinct house on site acknowledges the locational challenges that the current site presents. OMB approved a site search to no avail. Relocating the precinct house remains a priority. NYPD must shift pressure on OMB into high gear for the sake of the MOS at the precinct level. No more shrugging as they pass the buck. Take responsibility.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Additional NYPD resources for this project are unavailable at this time due to funding constraints. However, the program will continue to operate within current funding levels.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice
CS	Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	Location: Bedford Avenue - Church Avenue The Flatbush African Burial Ground will be constructed as a memorial through the Department of Parks and Recreation. We understand that capital funding is in place. This is a continued support request assuming capital is adequate as told. CB14 highly prioritizes funding that is adequate to fully realize a vision of this important, sacred and historic site that is informed by community engagement with priority on the descendent community. We will also support expense funded to maintain and program if/as appropriate.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. We have $4 million of funding in place for improvements to the Flatbush African Burial Ground and the design for the space. We hosted a community input meeting to inform the design in 2023 and Council Member Joseph hosted several subsequent public input meetings through 2024. The design has been approved by the Public Design Commission and we expect construction to begin in 2027. For more information, please visit: https://www.nycgovparks.org/planning-and-building/capital-project-tracker/project/10496	This request has already been funded.
CS	Develop the Shirley Chisholm Welcome Center at Prospect Park	A monument to community and national shero Shriley Chisholm is to be installed at the Ocean Avenue-Parkside entrance to Prospect Park. A full welcome center, with historic and memorial installation and a comfort station has been envisioned as well. This project should be funded. DPR should have its own capital budget to support such community investments. Instead, we anticipate the reply that the community should seek funding from Council. This is a DPR request but there should be a mechanism to choose DPR and DCLA since it is also cultural in nature.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports and can accommodate. We have $6.75 million of funding in place for the construction of the new Shirley Chisholm Pavilion and $1 million of funding in place for a new Shirley Chisholm monument to be installed at the Parkside and Ocean Avenue entrance to Prospect Park. We expect construction of the pavilion to be completed in 2028 and erection of the monument to be completed in 2026.

1	Other foster care and child welfare requests	When asked by survey to rank public safety priorities, 85% of respondents ranked support for cure violence groups, number one. ACS's Division of Youth and Family Justice and the efforts to support violence disrupters programs and organizations is a high priority from a youth service and a public safety perspective. There are several programs that ACS has introduced or grown in recent years. CD14 organizations have applied to the RFP for Family Enrichment Program. We hope they will be awarded. As for foster care and casework, the agency has made positive strides in reducing caseloads and fostered youth is at an all-time low.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. Thank you for your interest in our work. We are in the final stages of expanding from 3 to 30 Family Enrichment Centers. This past year, we invested $1623 million in the youth safety and success initiative, for you youth in and transitioning out of foster care and services to help prevent justice involvement. This initiative expands 4 programs and creates one new one: Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,000 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic and career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program. (40 slots which equate to 80 youth via expansion of DYCD’s Advance and Earn Program & 232 stipends for eligible youth) • Girls JustUs: A highly-successful gender-responsive juvenile justice diversion program that currently operates in Brooklyn will now be expanded to Queens and the Bronx. (24 additional girls will be served via this expansion) • Assertive Community Engagement and Success (ACES): A program that provides evidence-based services to high-risk youth who have been involved with the justice system. The program provides social pathways away from gang and gun violence to young people between the ages of 16-24. This program beginning in FY 27, will now be expanded city wide and will allow over 400 more young people to take part each year.	For more information, please contact the agency.
1	Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs	The Community Board supports the continuation and expansion of programs that are so valuable in connecting our community members to literacy and culture. From small children, to teens, adults and older adults, the breadth of library programming is impressive and invaluable. We are grateful that branch managers and program directors are so active with the board and always willing to share and update us regarding new programs and services.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports increased operational funding to equitably expand branch hours, programming, resources, and collections.	Restoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.
1	Process	Please note that the following needs are in the order of the District Needs Statement narrative. Health and Human Services are first; followed by Youth, Education and Children's Services; Public Safety and Emergency Response; Core Infrastructure, City Services and Resiliency; Housing, Land Use and Economic Development; Transportation; Parks and then Other. DCP's process requires CBs to list community needs in a misleading priority order. It has been stated in the District Needs Statement that we believe that needs are intertwined within and across agencies and do not believe it serves a purpose to have needs for parks to face off against needs for libraries (for example). What all agencies need at this time is an increase in their respective and collective capacity and ability to coordinate better within and with other sister city agencies. That's priority one across the board.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed. This request was addressed this year. Following extensive consultation with community board partners, the prioritization of community board budget requests was updated in the district needs submission platform for the FY2027 submission cycle to categorize requests by agency, rather than requiring discrete lists of rank-ordered requests across all agencies. DCP is appreciative of Brooklyn CB 14 and others who similarly voiced interest in moving away from the prior priority system.	This request has already been completed.

1	Other expense budget request for DCA	DCWP is the licensing and main enforcement agency for the sale of tobacco and e-cigarettes. The pace of inspections is slow, and the enforcement mechanisms is inadequate. More stores sell these items without a license than with one. Report of sales to minors and sales of flavored vapes are prevalent. A significant investment must be made in adding and training inspectors. At the state level, OCM is stepping into cannabis enforcement. The Sheriff's office has had impact on some enforcement. NYPD has been marginalized but remains involved where possible. This is an inefficient and ineffective approach.	every year since FY2024	This request has already been completed. Agency supports but cannot accommodate.	The agency has not submitted a proposal to increase funding for this project. Therefore, OMB does not take any position.
1	Clean catch basins	There are several locations in the district that flood chronically that have all been brought to DEP's attention. It seems that the issues can only be resolved with capital investments and that is the second highest request on CB14 capital list. In the meantime, catch basin cleaning and maintenance, courtesy flushes, rain barrels, backflow valve education, and other short term mitigation strategies are needed.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
1	Increase staffing for homebound adult programs	Case management, home care, legal services, and transportation services are generally intertwined. There is no way to prioritize the needs of one senior citizen over those of another and it would be folly to provide transportation over home care for a senior who is need of both. The funding of these services must be designed with the approach that support services are inextricable.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Need another funding to meet this need.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	Improve safety at homeless shelters	The men's shelter that opened in CD14 in 2023 has created a number of community concerns. Security, including perimeter patrols are not addressing the complaint that individuals are entering private property, defecating in the street, engaging in substance use. Interactions between shelter residents and residents of the adjacent supportive housing facility have not been positive for the clients or the community. The Community Advisory Board has not reassured residents. The impacts of this shelter are far worse than anticipated and funding to ensure adequate support, programing and safety is urgently needed. There is now another men's shelter in the district and the contract is held by a Staten Island organization with no track record running such a shelter. There was only a four day notification and no word on when the shelter will be at full census. There is reasonable concern that the clients within are not being well-served. There is very little reason to be confident that the city is awarding performance and merit-based contracts. Homelessness has been a crises for a long time. The shelter system seems to be in a crises of its own. The women's shelter in the district has not held a CAB meeting in over a year. This is supposed to be a contracted obligation.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. This request requires further investigation. Contact the agency Office of Intergovernmental Affairs to provide specific details so that we can look into these matters. We are happy to help facilitate reestablishing a CAB.	Further investigation of this request is needed. Contact the agency.
1	Address illegal conversions and uses of buildings	There is need for more DOB action on illegal conversions in what would be single family homes and in multifamily buildings. Enforcement on illegal curb cuts and parking pads would move the city toward carbon neutrality. Rather than using the tools we have, there is a new zoning text amendment. Short term rentals are not enforced. Some air bnbs have been reported in the already scarce affordable units in the district.	every year since FY2025	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. Airbnb is under the jurisdiction Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement.	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification.

1	Create or promote programs to de-stigmatize mental health needs and encourage treatment	Nearly one in 25 New Yorkers has experienced mental illness. About 280,000 have major disorders such as schizophrenia. Forty percent of those in city shelters and 53% of those in city jails experience mental illness. From March to December of 2020, more than 17,000 calls were made for mental health assistance. This was 85 times more than the same period in 2019. The city must continue to expand mobile crises teams, and intensive mobile teams as well as HOMESTAT outreach to unsheltered homeless individuals experiencing mental illness. A Support and Connection Center should be provided in Brooklyn.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DOHMH defers to the Mayor's Office of Operations and Department of Social Services on HomeStat. We are happy to continue the dialogue on mobile crisis engagement as well as support and connections center	The request does not seem to be applicable to the Responsible Agency. OMB cannot make a determination at this time.	Mayor's Office of Operations
1	Other expense budget request for DOT	New York City must recognize ownership of the Plaza. The clearest solution we see is for Newkirk Plaza to become a formal participant in the DOT's Pedestrian Plaza Program. The City's inability to determine jurisdiction over Newkirk Plaza has left several chronic issues unresolved, including a serious rodent infestation, sanitation maintenance concerns, disrepair of the brick plaza surface, and growing street homelessness challenges. The New York City Police Department, the Department of Sanitation, the Department of Buildings, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, have all been called upon to deal with myriad issues on the Plaza. Many community stakeholders, including business owners, civic and community-based organizations, and local government entities, continue to struggle	every year since FY2024	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. DOT is continuing to engage the MTA on this and will share updates as we have them.	Sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. For curb repair, please submit specific locations to the Borough Commissioner for review. For Pedestrian Ramps, the Adopted Budget includes a Citywide allocation. Specific locations are determined by DOT.
1	Forestry services, including street tree maintenance	Flatbush and Midwood boast 11,237 street trees, including 121 different species according to DPR's census. Argyle Road is considered the "leafiest" in Brooklyn. A more robust pruning cycle is still necessary. Requests for emergency pruning and fallen branches are increasing in the District. Fallen limbs, branches and entire trees too often were reported for pruning but not addressed. Paying claims instead of service is poor policy. DPR needs a better funded and more robust contracting practice in addition to an increase in the budget to bring the work in house.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. Funding for our block pruning program was restored to pre-COVID levels, and our 7-year pruning cycle matches industry standards. Any individual trees that need attention for public safety reasons should be reported by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. We agree with the need to increase staff and capacity to address our existing backlog of tree work. NYC Parks has made strides to increase its in-house tree work capacity through the Climber & Pruner Training Program, an in-house training program that connects current entry-level Parks employees with the training to become Climber & Pruners. With this program, Parks expects to add 15-20 new Climber & Pruners to the workforce every 15 months to help mitigate recruitment and hiring challenges.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources. OMB supports the agency's position.
1	Other cleaning requests	Please restore MLP in the baseline budget. There are 5 overlapping council members in CD14. Those overlaps vary in size and the council members vary in their willingness to give council member allocations back to city agencies, and that's understandable. These funds are supposed to supplement, not supplant agency responsibility. There are 1200 road segments in CD 14. Given the number of dead ends, overpasses, and road bridges, cleaning is a persistent need. The evisceration of MLP was ill advised. Asking council members to refund DSNY with Clean NYC or reso funds does not ensure equal distribution of services across the district and is financially inefficient. Baseline services should come from the baseline budget. Restore full funding for MLP so the district can be cleaned efficiently and equitably.	every year since FY2022	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY is not currently funded for additional MLP trucks.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	Provide, expand, or enhance the Summer Youth Employment Program	According to our Youth Conference attendees survey, the biggest draw for the 500 youth who attended out annual conference was jobs. It is imperative that DYCD jobs programs be expanded and dependably funded. Additional focus on building capacity at the CBO level to expand programming into underserved communities is imperative. Cure violence programs depend on significant alternatives. DYCD is poised to support new models of curing violence and expanding opportunities for future leaders. All DYCD programs should include a component on fraud prevention and financial literacy.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. Each summer, NYC supports 100,000 youth jobs through the Summer Youth Employment Program. The required curriculum includes financial literacy.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: Each summer, NYC supports 100,000 youth jobs through the Summer Youth Employment Program. The required curriculum includes financial literacy.
1	Provide more firefighters or EMS workers	Fund adequate new firefighter, Marshall, EMS and inspector hires. Given the pace of development and the density that is adding to our community, it is imperative that we ensure that staffing remain optimal and that the addition of a 5th firefight on the truck is expanded to firehouses serving our community. The number of firefighters fully trained for all inspections should be at 100%.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate.

1	Provide more housing for extremely low and low income households	Ensuring that there is affordable housing for CD14's community members at lower strata of the AMI, for seniors and those in need of supportive housing rely on HPD fully implementing Housing Our Neighbors and all components of the Housing Blueprint plan including fighting tenant harassment. These programs seem to be falling short. Our community is left vulnerable to HPD's inability to increase agency headcount and thus capacity. Interagency coordination should be put into place such that DOB will not issue permits in buildings with HPD violations unless needed to address those very violations.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. HPD's total headcount has increased by by 3.7% from December 2020 to December 2024. While certain divisions were impacted due to staffing shortrages at the start of the pandemic, we are continuing to provide services to all New Yorkers and have worked hard to increase our headcount. We continue to protect tenants through our Code Enforcement and Housing Litigation teams; and have had record breaking years in affordable housing construction/preservation. We would be open to further discussions and recommendations (as well specific cases) where DOB coordination can be further improved.	Funding and/or headcount was recently added. OMB supports the agency's position as follows:
1	Provide, expand, or enhance rental assistance programs/vouchers for permanent housing	Community District 14 ranks high in the percentage of severely rent burdened households, which is to say that they pay 50% or more of their monthly income on housing. Overall, 29% of households are severely rent burdened. This is down from a recent high of 35%. For low-income households, 44% are severely rent burdened. The share of units available at 30% AMI has decreased again. When we say that we need affordable housing, not just housing, this is the basis. The District ranks 3rd in Brooklyn and is in the top 10 citywide in the percent of renter households that are severely overcrowded. These are pressures that lend themselves to homelessness and continued expansion of prevention programs is warranted. Emergency rental assistance, one-shot deals, FEPS, CityFEPs, and the HOMEBASE program must be fully funded and the capacity of HRA to provide outreach and technical assistance must be increased. Greater coordination between programs such as WeCare to address housing vulnerabilities related to mental health needs and further support for those transition into permanent housing are needed as well.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. The administration has moved a record number of people out of shelter and has preserved affordable units for tens of thousands of New Yorkers.	More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.

1	Hire additional crossing guards	Additional crossing guards is an ever increasing request. New schools have opened, new developments are in the pipeline. The Community Board defers to the Police Precinct to assign additional crossing guards to new locations. It is our understanding that these positions are difficult to fill. Therefore, we request that the city demonstrates that it cares about student safety by either increasing pay to meet the labor pool or by posting NYPD or Traffic officers to augment the crossing guard labor pool as it stands. Funding should also cover substitute crossing guards so that intersections are not without this important safety measure when a crossing guard is out for any period of time. In the past NYPD would fill a vacant position with a police officer until the crossing guard returned or the spot was filled. This practice should be reinstituted.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice
1	Provide more community board staff	Every year we manage hundreds of service delivery requests, a youth conference, a nonprofit roundtable. We've added a lunch and learn series, and a YLC. Increasing responsibilities have been assigned and hiring staff and specialists, such as planners, policy analysts, IT assistance, would help to introduce more initiatives and develop longer range projects. As the most local city agency, we give voice to the individuals who make up our communities. To support serving communities equitably, it is imperative that the city fund and provide language access services at the CB level.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Provide commercial lease support for business owners	Supporting venues that generate social capital and drive economic development is key to post pandemic recovery. Kings Theater was an EDC project that is owned and managed by a private entity and is a for profit enterprise. The city then enacted several policy decisions in the area that undermined the original multi-million-dollar investment in the theater as an economic driver.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

Need another funding to meet this need.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
2	Expand street outreach	Over the years, we have been told by the Department of Homeless Services that it takes an average of 250 encounters with unsheltered individuals to convince them to accept services. This suggests that services offered are not in line with the needs of those living unsheltered. More robust teams with specialized services including those to address addictions, and mental health issues must augment street outreach. Innovative approaches such as the SHAP program must be expanded in Brooklyn. This program recruits volunteers, many of whom are formally "street homeless" persons and thus, more often trusted messengers for street outreach and their success rate is outstanding. In their second year, of 454 encounters, they placed 226 individuals. The increased capacity afforded to Breaking Ground last year should be coordinated with innovative outreach strategies that are already out there! For those on the street, mobile hygiene and health services should be expanded both for the immediate needs of unsheltered people and for the investment in building trust these services promote.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DHS collaborates closely with other City Agencies, local community-based organizations (CBOs), and our non-profit contracted providers to develop innovative strategies and strengthen effective existing services. While identifying and expanding best practices is a key goal, it is equally essential to recognize the importance of building trust with unsheltered clients. Given the potential traumas they may have experienced, establishing these relationships often requires considerable time and patience.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: DHS collaborates closely with other City Agencies, local community-based organizations (CBOs), and our non-profit contracted providers to develop innovative strategies and strengthen effective existing services.

Given the potential traumas they may have experienced, establishing these relationships often requires considerable time and patience.
2	Assign additional building inspectors (including expanding training programs)	DOB is operating with a 15% deficit in human resources. Many of these unfulfilled positions are inspectors. With the continued growing rate of new construction in the district, this is an urgent priority. Too many complaints are closed out due to lack of access while unpermitted work continues to the point of completion. Better timing of inspections, additional attempts and more detailed follow ups would assist in the ability to enforcement myriad violations.	every year since FY2021	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively. The department continues to hire and train new staff with existing budget. Note, if complaints are closed due to lack of access, it means an inspector visited the site and access was not granted. There are several reasons access was not granted - no one present to grant access to the premises or property owner refuses to grant access either way the Inspector leaves a notice for property owner to call for an inspection. DOB Inspectors makes three attempts to inspect prior to closing out a complaint.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources.
2	Create or promote programs to de-stigmatize substance misuse and encourage treatment	Street outreach teams, NYPD, and human services organizations report that many people who appear to be unsheltered often have homes but congregate where they can access and use substances. There are few programs available to them unless they are in fact homeless or choose to seek care. This is a woeful and dangerous approach, or lack thereof. Community Mobile and Intesive Mobile teams should be expanded in Brooklyn.	every year since FY2024	This request has already been completed. Many City agencies offer helpful intervention services to both those that are housed or unhoused. Similar to other services, an individual must be willing to be engaged accept services from a mobile outreach team.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This request has already been completed. Explanation: Many City agencies offer helpful intervention services to both those that are housed or unhoused. Similar to other services, an individual must be willing to be engaged accept services from a mobile outreach team.
2	Address traffic congestion	The need to address freight mobility, including trucking, waterways, light rail and last mile trucking concerns are increasingly urgent. A review of truck routes is a task that DOT has started and stopped over the years. In CD 14 Caton Avenue to Linden Blvd is a truck route. Just south of Caton is Church Avenue - also a truck route. Traffic is gridlocked on Caton nearly endlessly in both directions. There is an express bus lane has been added to Church Avenue, eliminating truck delivery windows. These conditions have pushed more traffic onto sidestreets. The proliferation of 53' trucks on our streets is dangerous testement to the city's inability to coordinate interagency issues. We have turned to DOT, NYPD, and NYS DOT for relief, to no avail.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. This is not a budget request. Please reach out to our office to discuss further.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: This is not a budget request. Please reach out to our office to discuss further.
2	Plant new street trees	There is a lack of enforcement when it comes to developers and planting requirements. Elected officials have used reso funds to plant trees where it was a developers responsibility. Where planting is the city's responsibility it should be properly funded and then adequately pruned.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports and can accommodate. Under the NYC Zoning Resolution (Article II, Chapter 6), one street tree, pre-existing or newly planted, shall be provided for every 25 feet of street frontage of the zoning lot for all new developments or major alterations. Where Parks determines that such tree planting would be infeasible, trees may be planted at an off-site location provided by Parks. Planting requirements can be met via a payment to Parks’ Tree Fund or via a planting permit. Note that zoning plantings are separate from and in addition to replacement or restitution obligations, all of which are the obligation of the developer.	The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this.
2	Increase enforcement of street vending	The addition of vendor enforcement has not been adequately resourced. There are not enough San Police and they don't cover specific areas. There is not a transparent reporting system in place. The problem has only exacerbated since shifting enforcement to DSNY. This is a failed policy and while it's in these budget priorities, it might not be a good idea to continue funding a failed policy. This one needs a paradigm shift that is balanced with fair permitting for vendors. That would take interagency coordination. As of now, we have chronic locations that are expanding and ironically creating litter and other sanitation issues.	every year since FY2025	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY is not currently funded for additional Sanitation Police Officers or Enforcement Agents.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: DSNY is not currently funded for additional Sanitation Police Officers or Enforcement Agents.
2	Lifeguard training and management	The City should transfer the responsibility for lifeguard training and management from the Dept of Parks and Recreation to FDNY. These jobs are life safety initiatives and could provide a pathway to career emergency services. This is a proposal that was studied by IBO and is supported by some councilmembers. In addition, FDNY personnel should be able to "moonlight" as lifeguards. This was a practice in the past that the city paused for budgetary reasons. Fund the payroll to ensure public safety at city beaches.	every year since FY2026	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. FDNY works closely with its public safety partners including NYPD and Parks to provide dedicated emergency response coverage at beaches during the beach season.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: FDNY works closely with its public safety partners including NYPD and Parks to provide dedicated emergency response coverage at beaches during the beach season.
2	Provide, expand, or enhance programs for housing inspections to correct code violations	CD14 has one of the highest serious housing code violations per 1000 units of housing in the city and it is getting worse. HPD must be granted enforcement authority that makes a difference. Inspector training and technology, fully implementing Housing Our Neighbors and all components of the Housing Blueprint plan and fighting tenant harassment are all programs that seem to be falling short. Our community is left vulnerable to HPD's inability to increase agency capacity. Interagency coordination should be put into place such that DOB will not issue permits in buildings with HPD violations unless needed to address those very violations.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. This is a priority for the administration and HPD and we will continue to work with key stakeholders to ensure poor housing conditions in NYC are properly enforced. The issue of DOB permits being denied based on HPD violations is already covered by legislation in some cases.	Funding and/or headcount was recently added. OMB supports the agency's position as follows:
2	Newkirk Plaza	It took years to convince DOT to accept Newkirk Plaza into the pedestrian plaza program. It took another year for DOT lawyers and MTA lawyers to compose an agreement. It has now taken another year for MTA to conduct the necessary engineering study prior to implementing the agreement. It's a slap in the face of the community that the MTA is simultaneously trying to engage in support of the IBX plan. Additionally, MTA would not let a local CBO improve the Newkirk Plaza station house with a mural because they claimed that station houses have to be identifiable as such. However, the station house is filthy and covered in graffiti - why would this be considered more identifiable. If MTA is not taking care of the assets currently in our community, why would they expect the community to welcome the new assets that come along with the IBX? They should expect a great deal of skepticism if not anger and dismay.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.

2	Other expense request	DCP and OMB - improve DNS and budget process.	every year since FY2025	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. As of the FY 2027 Preliminary Budget, each Community Board’s budget is being maintained.	As of the FY 2027 Executive Budget, each Community Board's budget is being maintained.
3	Other programs to address public health issues requests	Public health programs that address health disparities with an urgent focus on maternal health are of the highest priorities. Ongoing infection disease concerns, barriers to vaccines whether they be knowledge and understanding based, cultural practices based, language access, etc. must be thoughtfully addressed. Access to quality housing, healthy food choices and outdoor space all contribute systemically to health outcomes and thus cannot be considered singularly, let alone in competition with one another.	every year since FY2024	This request has already been completed. DOHMH looks forward to discussing further ways we can partner with communities to address public health concerns including providing resources and materials for dissemination	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
3	Community Tree Pruning	While DPR struggles to build enough capacity to address tree pruning needs, there should be an effort to better coordinate the Community Tree Pruners program. Reportedly, residents who would like to become qualified to become tree pruners, cannot get into the program. If DPR doesn't have the capacity to accept help expanding capacity, that's a real problem!	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Trees New York (not NYC Parks) runs the Citizen Pruner program. Those interested must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website (https://treesny.org/) or email info@treesny.org for more information.	Please contact the relevant Agency/Covered Organization after the release of the Adopted Budget for further details concerning this request.
3	Provide or expand NYC organics collection program	Reinstate community compost sites to complement once-a-week curbside collection.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed. Funding for community composters was added in FY26.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: Funding for community composters was added in FY26.
4	Animal and pest control requests including reducing rat and mosquito populations	Rodent complaints have risen throughout the city, While DOHMH continues to increase the number of inspections performed annually, these efforts are outpaced by conditions contributing to rodent infestations. DOT's Open Streets for restaurant policy, DOB's abatement rules for construction sites should have better storage and collection policies. DSNY should be better equipped to address illegal drop offs and dumping. A better public education plan so that people understand the downside of feeding feral cats and birds is needed.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed. DOHMH is happy to discuss ways to partner on reducing rodent populations, including hosting Rat Academies for property owners and proper garbage disposal	Further investigation is required. Contact the agency.
4	Targeted enforcement	The drop down menu on this report platform lists 10 "increase enforcement" options. This board is loathe to ask for more enforcement when DSNY demonstrates an inability to aim violations at the actual offender. DSNY is failing to enforce vendor rules but then penalizes brick and morter businesses by serving violations for the litter that vendors left behind. DSNY has not restored MLP and then issues violations to homeowners who are victims of illegal drop offs. DSNY went on a ticket writing blitz and wrote tickets for early set out at 7:30 on Fridays in a Jewish Orthodox community. We don't want more enforcment, we want appropriately targeted enforcement. An increase in cameras at locations where chronic drop offs occur, is a good place to start. An increase in stakeouts, would be helpful. The ability to open bags and increase according to addressed contents within, might help as well. These approaches seem more likely to mitigate the behavior of offenders in a manner that is more targeted than gimmicky "hall of shame" photos that only show us where but not who.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports and can accommodate. DSNY will try to accommodate this request using existing resources.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: DSNY will try to accommodate this request using existing resources.
5	Commercial containers	DSNY should not expect BIDs to pay for containers. BIDs were created to supplement, not supplant city services. If DSNY is going to mandate containers, they should be provided in the same way corner baskets were provided. Please don't pass this responsibility off to elected officials either. This is DSNY's program and should be in DSNY's baseline budget.	every year since FY2026	This request has already been completed. BIDs were provided funding to purchase containers as a part of the FY26 budget.	This request has already been completed. Explanation: BIDs were provided funding to purchase containers as a part of the FY26 budget.
1	Gravesend Library	$3 million needed for a new roof Approximately $9.5 million for heating & cooling, fire safety, building management, systems, interior renovations, safety and security enhancements.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Brooklyn Public Library supports this request and has identified these capital improvements as an unfunded need.	It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.
1	Reconstruct or upgrade a park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)	Location: Oriental Boulevard - Ocean Avenue & Mackenzie Street Manhattan Beach Park's Baseball Field need $6 Million to reconstruct natural turf baseball field on Oriental Blvd., including all new fencing, horticulture, seating areas, spray mister, backstop, fix drainage issues, and provide filter for water bottles.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	FDNY GATOR VEHICLES	Community Board 15 is a shorefront community, we have Manhattan Beach, Gerritsen Beach and Bungalow areas along Sheepshead Bay. We believe that providing gators to the firehouses in southern Brooklyn that service these areas would be a most helpful and welcome tool. The current cost is approximately $50,000 a piece.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. FDNY will seek to accommodate within existing resources, although this will depend on availability of funding and overall agency prioritization. The Community Board should continue work with their relevant elected officials to allocate Council/BP capital funding at Budget Adoption.

1	61st Precinct New Cars	The 61st Precinct, operates 24/7, 7 days a week and because of the wear and tear on these vehicles and the constant need for servicing, we would like to see new cars purchased for the precinct. We want to make sure their fleet is at a sufficient amount, so that lower priority calls are answered in a timely manner.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The NYPD is working with the Mayor's Office of Management and Budget in order to secure additional funds to maintain lifecycle replacement of its current fleet. Supplemental funding would be needed if there was a desire to increase this count even further.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources.
2	Kings Highway Library	$4 million for new heating and cooling systems. Approximately $9.5 million for multiple building systems and infrastructure repairs.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

2	Argus Cameras for NYPD	Argus Cameras would be advantages for areas where the police cannot patrol 24/7. These cameras would aid the department in solving crimes quicker,		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Argus cameras are funded via allocations from elected officials for use within their districts. Specific location recommendations should be provided to the local precinct commander for submission to the Information Technology Bureau once funding is allocated. The NYPD will attempt to accommodate specific location requests whenever funding is provided, but reserves the right to place cameras as appropriate due to current crime trends and operational needs.

We support the request for repairs to the perimeter sidewalks at Holocaust Memorial Park but do not have capital funding available.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
5	Add NYPD parking facilities	Currently, Brooklyn has only one police Tow Pound in Northern Brooklyn and it's often at full capacity. This is a growing problem for our community. Additional car lifts (stackers) at the existing Tow Pound would increase holding capacity and permit more vehicles to be stored as an immediate interim measure. The current pound being located across the borough results in long travel times. It limits the turnaround time resulting in diminished productivity per work shift for Row Tow operators serving Southern Brooklyn. Ideally, we would like the short-term addition of car lifts at the existing Tow Pound until a new pound can be sited and constructed in Southern Brooklyn to expedite Row Tow operations enhancing their capacity and increasing their productivity.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The NYPD is working with the Mayor's Office of Management and Budget in order to secure additional towing facilities.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice

1	Improve traffic and pedestrian safety, including traffic calming	The waiting list to install an approved speed hump is excessive. With the hiring of additional crews to perform this necessary task we can expedite the installation time and reduce crashes and speeding violations.	every year since FY2020	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. There are multiple questions in this request. Studies and installation of different elements depends on the nature of the spcific location and other factors.

1	Forestry services, including street tree maintenance	Brooklyn Community Board 15 receives numerous complaints about trees not being pruned, maintained or planted in a timely fashion. More money needs to be allocated to provide better forestry services to our community. New trees should be planted within two-three planting cycles; waiting 4 or 5 years is a ridiculously long time. Tree pruning can take 7-10 years, allowing overgrown and dead branches to become a public safety hazard. We need to expedite this process. Adequately funding this division with additional trained staff and equipment would streamline this vital function.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. While our forestry contract funding has been restored to pre-pandemic levels, we agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work. NYC Parks has made strides to increase its in-house tree work capacity through the Climber & Pruner Training Program, an in-house training program that connects current entry-level Parks employees with the training to become Climber & Pruners. With this program, Parks expects to add 15-20 new Climber & Pruners to the workforce every 15 months to help mitigate recruitment and hiring challenges.	The agency has stated that they will try to accommodate this request with existing resources. OMB supports this.
1	Other garbage collection and recycling requests	Our community district is inundated with calls about derelict vehicles being abandoned on our streets. We support the expansion of the Derelict Vehicle Unit which requires additional manpower to decrease response times, improve response rates and enhance productivity for removing these vehicles.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. DSNY appreciates the support and will continue these operations as frequently as possible using existing resources if additional funding is not available.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	Hire additional uniformed officers	Staffing levels are low. We are losing seasoned officers to retirement and promotions. We are seeking funding to entice people into police service. We need more money for recruitment and perhaps financial incentives or better starting salaries.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYPD police officers' salaries are determined by collective bargaining agreements established between the City and police unions.	The agency will try to accommodate this issue within existing resources.
1	Other commercial district revitalization requests	We have a large number of small commercial corridors in our district (i.e.; Avenue U, Sheepshead Bay Road, Avenue P, Gravesend Neck Road and Avenue X) with rents sky-rocketing to ludicrous heights. These storefronts either turnover rapidly, or sit vacant warehoused without attracting new businesses or new investment in the community. Empty storefronts don't entice consumers. They reduce foot traffic to the corridors. Things have gone from bad to worse. The City needs to offer indepedent small business owners more incentives and assistance in creating businesses, or offer property owners some incentives to attract and retain businesses. Outrageous rents are keeping many of our small commercial areas bleak and depressed.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports and can accommodate. SBS has made investments in commercial corridors in the district through a variety of grants. SBS has supported local commercial revitalization through the Kings Highway BID, which received Small BID Grants this Fiscal Year and in FY24 and a Commercial District Lighting grant in FY24. This Fiscal Year, SBS also provided the Brooklyn Alliance, who previously deployed select interventions along the commercial corridors in the district through an Avenue NYC grant SBS provided, a Merchant Organizing grant to support commercial districts and merchant organizing in the community. SBS will continue to promote grant programs when available and encourage the community boards to share information about our grant programs with local non-profits. While commercial rents are set by private commercial property-owners and the city does not have an ability to regulate commercial rents, SBS is proud to deliver up to 40 hours of pro-bono Commercial Lease Assistance Program. This service provides businesses legal representation as they negotiate commercial leases and rents with landlords either at the point of signing a new lease, renewing a lease, or supporting pre-litigation issues.

2	Investigate and address water quality complaints at an address or on specific street segments	In both Sheepshead Bay and Gerritsen Creek we are asking for periodic maintenance to remove floatables. This preventable pollution source (CSO outfalls) are a health and environmental hazard, as well as making these popular locations undesirable and unsightly for the community and its visitors to fully enjoy. We need a better plan to address these outfalls.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency does not support and cannot accommodate Explanation: PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.
2	Address traffic congestion	Location: Sheepshead Bay Road - Emmons Avenue & East 14th Street We need to take another look at Sheepshead Bay Road and develop a plan that will alleviate the heavy flow of traffic compounded by illegally parked cars and trucks. The area suffers from extreme congestion and mobility challenges. NYC Transit buses can barely navigate the tightness of Sheepshead Bay Road. Our commercial area doesn't flow correctly.	every year since FY2021	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. This request requires further study.	The Administration is currently reviewing this practice
2	Other street trees and forestry services requests	We have many defective sidewalk flags causing serious trip hazards in our community district in need of repair due to City trees uprooting them. Current funding levels is inadequate. We are requesting additional funding to address this growing sidewalk hazard.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. Due to limited resources, the Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be accommodated with current staffing levels.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
2	Other cleaning requests	Location: Emmons Avenue - Ocean Avenue & Knapp Street Additional Manual Litter Patrols (MLP) is needed to keep up with the demands of our district.

2	Hire additional traffic enforcement agents	All of our commercial corridors are severely congested. Additional traffic enforcement is needed along Coney Island Avenue (between Avenue P and Avenue Z), on Avenue U (between McDonald Avenue and Nostrand Avenue), on Sheepshead Bay Road (between East 14th Street and Emmons Avenue) and on Kings Highway (between McDonald Avenue and Ocean Avenue).	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

3	Provide more frequent garbage or recycling pick-up	Location: Avenue U - Coney Is Avenue & Bedford Avenue Our litter baskets throughout our commercial corridors are overflowing with household waste and illegal dumping creating health hazards and eyesores throughout the area. More frequent basket pickup should be properly funded. Including but not limited to Avenue U (between Coney Island Avenue and Nostrand Avenue), Kings Highway (between Ocean Parkway and Ocean Avenue) and Sheepshead Bay Road (between East 14h Street and Emmons Avenue).	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
3	Hire additional crossing guards	All of the schools in our community district would benefit from additional crossing guards. With the severe traffic around many of our schools particularly at dismissal times, crossing guards provide an essential service to ensure the safety of our students and community members as they navigate these congested and often chaotic public spaces. Currently, when a crossing guard is out sick, a uniformed officer is pulled away to take their place, taking an officer away from other critical policing work. Having additional crossing guards available would provide enhanced coverage at schools without having to draw from our uniformed forces when replacements are needed.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Based on the latest budget, the NYPD has a specific budgeted headcount. The agency is working on filling vacancies in order to get to that headcount.	OMB supports the agency's position as indicated. Additionally, please note that School Safety Agents are not capital eligible and must be funded with expense.
4	Enhance park safety through more security staff (police or parks enforcement)	Manhattan Beach Park is a remote location in a quiet residential area often trespassed upon after hours by young people who can be mischievous. We have had fires, illegal fireworks, loud music and noise complaints about the park late at night and would like to see more regular patrols of this area to discourage these behaviors.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We support the request for additional Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) officers to help enforce park rules at Manhattan Beach Park but do not have expense funding available. As PEP shifts do not continue later into the night, please request assistance from NYPD for late night enforcement.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
4	Increase enforcement of dirty sidewalk/dirty area/failure to clean area laws	Location: Avenue U - Ocean Parkway & Bedford Avenue We need more officers along Avenue U to enforce these commercial businesses to keep the areas in front of their businesses clean. Overgrown tree pits, illegal dumping, excessive litter and filthy sidewalks exist perpetually along this corridor.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
4	Larger Uniform & Equipment Allowances	Police Officers are given a yearly stipend to purchase uniforms and personal equipment which falls short of their actual needs. Flashlights, handcuffs, gloves and boots, aside from their uniforms can cost more than what they are allotted. The city should be properly supplementing their work equipment needs.		The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification. More specific information is needed for this request.	OMB supports the agency's position as indicated. Additionally, please note that School Safety Agents are not capital eligible and must be funded with expense.
5	Increase enforcement of dirty sidewalk/dirty area/failure to clean area laws	Location: Sheepshead Bay Road - East 14th Street & Emmons Avenue Sheepshead Bay Road, a once thriving retail corridor, has become a neighborhood eyesore and a blight on the community. Very few merchants sufficiently maintain their storefront frontages. We receive numerous complaints from people who live, work and visit the area.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. DSNY will try to accommodate using existing resources. Funding for additional headcount, however, is not available at this time.	OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports and can accommodate Explanation: DSNY will try to accommodate using existing resources. Funding for additional headcount, however, is not available at this time.
5	Smart Phones For Traffic Agents	We believe it would be beneficial to provide traffic enforcement agents with smart phones to access and finalize 311 assignments in real time. Traffic agents currently call the precinct to finalize jobs, which can sometimes cause improper reporting and does negatively impact response times.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Additional NYPD resources for this project are unavailable at this time due to funding constraints. However, the program will continue to operate within current funding levels.	More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.
6	Avenue P corridor garbage pickup	Location: Avenue P - McDonald Avenue & Ocean Avenue Avenue P from McDonald Avenue to Ocean Avenue is always unkempt and in need of more Sanitation services.

6	Other NYPD programs requests	Currently, Explorers must pay a fee of $24 a year to participate in this worthwhile Police program. Ideally, we would like to see that fee paid for or waived by the City of New York to encourage greater participation in the program. We would like to also see the expense of their uniforms covered. We would like to see PAL and other youth programs offered by the NYPD fully funded to get our children off the streets and into safe, learning and nurturing environments. They are our future. We need to get them on the right path.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

More information is needed from the community board before making a funding decision. The community board should contact the agency.
7	Increase enforcement of illegal dumping laws	Location: East 16th Street - Avenue R & Avenue Z Our underpasses which are dimly lit attract chronic illegal dumpers. If cameras could be placed at these locations to catch dumpers in the act, we would deter this illegal activity from occurring. East 16th Street (between Avenues R and Z), contains tires, furniture, e-waste, construction materials and household trash strewn about regularly by illegal dumpers. More effective enforcement strategies are needed.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

9	Increase enforcement of illegal posting laws	Our community is inundated with illegal advertising on all street hardware and public structures.

NYC Parks' Trees & Sidewalks Program can help repair severe sidewalk damage caused by tree root growth in front of one-, two-, or three-family properties that are owner-occupied and used exclusively for residential purposes (NYC Tax Class 1). Funding for this program is limited, and repairs are made based on a rating system that includes the severity of damage, amount of pedestrian traffic, and the size and condition of the tree. If you are a homeowner with time-sensitive needs for sidewalk repair, or you own a non-Tax Class 1 property that is not eligible for Parks’ Trees & Sidewalks Program, repairing the sidewalk through an independent contractor is often the quickest solution. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. If you wish to file a claim against the City of New York for the cost of repairs you performed to your sidewalk because of damage that you believe was caused by a City tree, you may do so by filing a claim with the New York City Comptroller’s Office within 90 days of performing the repair. Due to limited resources, the Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of this program, but additional funding cannot be accommodated with current staffing levels.

Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, for conditions that can be reached from the ground, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information. We agree with the need for more funding and resources to increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work, but that funding cannot be determined at this time.

4	Nuclear Medicine	$2.2M for the PET for Nuclear Medicine NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst has incredibly busy volume and demand for our x-ray and radiation oncology services. In 2024, we provided over 91,518 x rays and over 194,000 diagnostic tests, 5% higher than the previous year. Elmhurst currently lacks PET scan technology and we now have to transfer patients to our sister hospital, NYC Health + Hospitals/Queens, in order to receive this critical care. PET/CT scans provide advanced imagery that serves as an effective way to help discover a variety of conditions, including cancer, heart disease and brain disorders. With PET/CT scans, our healthcare providers can make more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans, leading to better outcomes. PET/CT scans are also less invasive and more comfortable for patients. We expect to do 500 procedures in year 1 after acquiring the equipment and ramp up to additional capacity of 1,000 patients a year in year 2.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Breaking Ground - Vehicles	Breaking Ground is doing a great job operating via 4 outreach teams in Queens round the clock, 365 days a year, regardless of the weather conditions. They are also providing case management services to clients, including transport to medical and housing appointments. However, one of their biggest needs is more vehicles. Although they have a fleet, the vehicles' lifespan is shorter than average, and they need more vehicles to continue providing this essential service. It is recommended that funding be allocated to increase the number of vehicles to support their operations.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support but can address the need alternatively.

1	Early Childhood Services	Our community along with a steadily growing population of newcomers faces an urgent need for affordable or free early childhood education programs, particularly 3K and Pre-K. Ensuring that every child begins their educational journey on the right path is essential for building a strong and equitable foundation for the future. Education remains one of the most effective tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Providing access to early learning opportunities plays a critical role in leveling the playing field for children from families with limited financial means. Research consistently shows that children who participate in 3K and Pre-K programs develop stronger cognitive, social, and emotional coping skills; vital abilities that prepare them for lifelong learning and academic success. Beyond academics, these programs nurture curiosity, confidence, and independence, equipping children with the emotional and practical tools needed to thrive as they enter grade school and beyond. Establishing affordable or free early childhood education options within our district would help close the socio-economic gap, promote equity, and empower families by giving our youngest residents the opportunities they deserve. In doing so, we invest not only in individual potential but also in the long-term strength and prosperity of our entire community.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Youth Community Center	There is an urgent need to establish a Youth Community Center in our district, as our young people are the true foundation and future of this thriving community. Such a center would provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging space where youth can connect with one another, develop leadership skills, receive emotional support, and participate in meaningful activities that promote personal growth. Research indicates that many young people in our community are struggling with mental health challenges, often caused by social isolation or a lack of structured community engagement. With many parents working long hours and unable to spend sufficient time with their children, the absence of emotional and social support has become a growing concern. A dedicated youth community center would serve as a second home welcoming environment where young individuals can meet peers, share experiences, and access mentorship and guidance. It would also provide valuable opportunities such as career development workshops, job fairs, volunteering programs, leadership training, and academic support to help them advance personally and professionally. By investing in a youth community center, we invest in the well-being, confidence, and success of our next generation , ensuring that they have the tools, encouragement, and community connection they need to thrive and contribute positively to society.

1	New Hospital / Medical Facility	Elmhurst Hospital is a lvl. 1 trauma center funded by the city, located in the heart of Queens serving a vast number of patients from the borough, and has seen several upgrades and expansions in recent years, with more to come. Being the only city-funded lvl. 1 trauma center within the immediate reach of our communities, it shoulders a significant trauma burden for a sizeable portion of Queens. While neighboring hospitals are either community-level, private or lvl. 2 trauma centers, H+H/Elmhurst faces the challenge of handling a large number of patients with critical injuries. The former St. John's Hospital, which has been closed for close to 20 years, leaves Elmhurst as the only hospital for the residents of S.

1	Housing for Extremely Low and Low Income Households	Community Board 4 has seen a very steady influx of new residents in the last few years and will only continue to grow at a steady pace. The lack of affordable housing (both extremely low, low, and medium income) specifically in the Elmhurst area is encouraging "shacking up" in which large families are living out of single rooms and illegally converted basements. Requesting (1) an acknowledgement that the current MIH program is inadequate and requires drastic revision to address local housing needs and (2) in absence of MIH revision, affordable housing with an MIH option 3 be required for our district. As new residential buildings are built, we request that any accompany zoning changes require the mapping of MIH Option 3 (units at or less than 40% AMI; $1,458/monthly for a two-bedroom). The median annual household income for families in Elmhurst/Corona is $70,252, meaning that for rented units to be truly affordable they must be offered at a rate of $1,756 per month (up to 30% of monthly household income) to prevent rent burden. MIH Option 1 (60% AMI; 3-person family, $2,187/monthly for a two-bedroom) and Option 2 (80% AMI; 3-person family, $2,916/monthly for a two-bedroom) do not provide genuinely affordable housing options for 43.2% of Elmhurst/Corona residents who earn well below the median household income of $70,252. As of 2023, approximately 14.9% of residents earned a household income between $40,001 to $60,000, 17.5% earned between $20,001 to $40,000, and 10.8% earned up to $20,000 annually. As a result of inadequate affordable housing options that fail to directly serve our most economically insecure residents, 62% of the total resident population are "rent burdened" (more than 30% of household income spent on rent) and 31.1% of residents are "severely rent burdened" (more than 50% of household income spent on rent). HPD must mobilize their available tools to support the construction of affordable housing, which is housing at 40% AMI for the district.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units. While HPD is breaking affordable housing production records, there is more work to be done. HPD will continue to maximize the use of subsidy and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to projects in our development pipeline throughout the Five Boroughs, including those serving Very Low Income (VLI) and Extremely Low Income (ELI) populations. HPD will continue to fund the construction of supportive housing from the development pipeline to maximize available resources.	This is not a budget request.
1	Subway Elevators/Accessibility Improvements	1- NYCT's success in making all its buses wheelchair accessible is a huge victory and cannot be sufficiently praised. But obviously, the subway stations many of these buses serve need to be accessible, too. All the subway stations in QCB4 are very heavily used. We urge that they continue to receive high priority in the allocation of new contracts for elevator installation. We appreciate and continue to support the now in-construction elevator on the (M) & (R) line at Woodhaven Blvd. We call for new elevators as soon as can be managed at 103rd St (7 train), Grand Av & Elmhurst Av (M) & (R), and 90th St, 82nd St & 111th St (7). 2-We are also concerned about crowding on the Flushing-bound (7) platforms during the evening rush. We have suggested an additional platform-to-sidewalk (NOT -to-mezzanine!) staircase at 103rd, 90th, and 82nd St Stations, and were supportive of the NYCT suggestion of adding a foot or two to the depth of these platforms. Unfortunately, neither of these suggestions was included in the recent station renovations. At a minimum, when the service patterns return to normal, NYCT's Operations Planning people should do some detailed observations on these platforms during the evening rush, paying especial attention to conditions when trains arrive in close succession. We are not professionals, but we think the situation is seriously problematic.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. PLEASE CONTACT THE AGENCY DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION.

1	New Precinct Facility	Community Board 4 is a historically undercounted, and essentially overcrowded district that is overseen by a single precinct. With high crime corridors such as 57th Avenue, Junction Boulevard, and Roosevelt Avenue officers from the 110 Precinct are often spread thin. Recent initiatives such as the Q -Team and NCO Initiatives are a welcome addition, but are not a solution as crime along these commercial corridors continues to escalate. A community -based police initiative simply will not suffice. Additionally, with just over 200 personnel, the 110 Precinct has jurisdiction over Flushing Meadows Corona Park (FMCP), Queens Boulevard (two major shopping malls), and the high crime corridor of Roosevelt Avenue adding an extra area to the standard footprint that should fall within the precinct's assigned coverage area. It is worth referencing that a study of recent and future crime trends be considered as was recently done at CB7 which resulted in a new facility within the Board's confines.		Agency supports but cannot accommodate. New precincts are based on evaluation of crime, call volume and other operational metrics. Any determination for the need for a new stationhouse would require new funding to cover all associated costs.	Further study by the agency of this request is needed.
1	New Library - S. Corona	Location: Corona Avenue - 108th Street & 108th Street The population of Community Board 4Q is growing daily. Although the Elmhurst Library was recently rebuilt, both this branch and the Lefrak City Library will continue to be heavily utilized. The Lefrak Library has suffered extensive flooding damage as a result hurricanes and rain, and has been out of service with no viable date for a reopening. For this reason, a new reference library in the vicinity of 108th Street and Corona Avenue will help service the south east portion of CB4Q which is currently lacking library services all the while servicing patrons from the Lefrak area who used the Lefrak library as their primary branch	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate.

1	High School Expansion	While there are five public high schools within our community board, the need for new or expanded facilities remains pressing. Overcrowding at the elementary and middle school levels has resulted in many students having to travel outside the community to access quality high school education. Establishing a new high school and strengthening existing resources would more effectively meet the diverse educational needs of our growing population in our community.

2	Queens Blvd Reconstruction and Greening	Location: Queens Boulevard - 74th St & Horace Harding Expressway The long planned, long delayed, phased capital reconstruction of Queens Blvd should move forward as soon as feasible. The boulevard continues to deteriorate, and the ongoing patchwork repairs are clearly not the optimum approach. CB4 is especially concerned that the challenging environment on the medians, particularly on the long section of Queens Blvd built over the subway structure, be thoroughly considered in designing the new plantings planned for the medians. Landscape architects or the Parks Dept's Horticulture and Forestry divisions (or all the above) should be thoroughly involved in choosing the trees and plantings along the medians.

2	Newtown Playground MPPA	Newtown Playground recently underwent a partial upgrade, and has since seen substantial use, and improved visitation since its opening. A key element of the park is to maintain the reparation of the comfort station. The main concern however is that the MPPA should be upgraded to meet current standards and retrofitted with flooding mitigation measures as it was heavily damaged during this last hurricane season. The park (formerly the Old Newtown Cemetery) should have a monument to memorialize its internments and past similar to the Olde Town of Flushing Burial Ground memorial erected in 2021.	every year since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

All units must be rented at levels below roughly $1,650/month , the rent band where the NYC Housing and Vacancy Survey shows vacancy below 1% , because that is the only band that actually not only relieves overcrowding, illegal basement living, and rent burdens above 50% of income for current CD4 residents, it actually increases the vacancy rate of the district and the city.		Agency supports and can accommodate. HPD finances and supports different types of projects. Many projects are 100% affordable, and a portion of those units are ELI/VLI. Some projects contain a majority of ELI/VLI units. While HPD is breaking affordable housing production records, there is more work to be done. HPD will continue to maximize the use of subsidy and Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to projects in our development pipeline throughout the Five Boroughs, including those serving Very Low Income (VLI) and Extremely Low Income (ELI) populations. HPD will continue to fund the construction of supportive housing from the development pipeline to maximize available resources.

2	Renovate Subway Stations in CB4	The MTA is currently renovating 3 stations on the (7) train in CB4. We express continuing support for this project. We request that consideration be given to a similar project covering Grand Ave and Elmhurst Ave on the (M) & (R) line. We also regret that 90th St on the (7) was not included in the Roosevelt Ave contract. We would request that the renovation of 90th St be included in a future contract, and that consideration be given to widening (deepening) the Flushing-bound platform or installing a platform-to-sidewalk exit stair to address the crowding problem during the evening rush.

2	110 Precinct Parking Facility	For years, CB4Q has requested dedicated parking for the 110 Precinct vehicles. Officers park their personal vehicles on local streets, monopolizing on-street parking and inconveniencing residents. If renovated, the precinct may have potential for underground parking via underpinning. We are also seeking the possibility of off site parking, and will work with local stakeholders and elected officials in identifying and acquiring property as necessary.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYPD’s budget doesn’t contain sufficient funding for parking lot upgrades to accommodate this request.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
2	Provide technology upgrade	Students across our district continue to face a growing need for essential and advanced technology upgrades; including interactive whiteboards, laptops, tablets, and scientific calculators to strengthen both classrooms learning and at-home skill development. Many of our existing schools still lack sufficient access to these modern tools, creating disparities in educational opportunities and limiting student engagement in those resources. By investing in compatible, up-to-date, and user-friendly technology, we can enhance digital literacy, promote innovative teaching methods, and ensure that every student; regardless of school or background has equitable access to the tools needed for success in today's learning environment. Upgrading these resources will not only improve academic performance and participation but also better prepare our students for higher education, careers, and a rapidly evolving digital world.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

3	Junction Blvd Reconstruction	Location: Junction Blvd. - Roosevelt Ave & Horace Harding Expwy - Junction Blvd. & 57th Ave. A complete reconstruction of the very heavily utilized corridor of Junction Blvd from Roosevelt Ave to the Horace Harding Expressway should be looked into. Curb cuts, traffic mitigation plans, street resurfacing, bus pads, and curb replacements are all sorely needed to meet current and future demand. Junction Blvd is also a candidate for traffic signals that give a small head-start to buses when the light changes.

With the dramatic growth seen within CB4 our constituency is in need of extensive services that would help them to preserve their quality of life. Funding is being requested for expansion of these programs. Additionally, seeking conversations / explanations with HPD on how this request is being accommodated, and on any progress that has been made.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate.

3	Reopen Elmhurst and Corona LIRR Stations	Location: LIRR Port Washington Line - Broadway & National St First, we do, of course, understand that this is in fact an LIRR request, not NYCT. However, NYCT is our only means to direct this budget request to the people who assemble the MTA capital plan. Thank you for your understanding and your assistance on this. The Elmhurst station on the LIRR Port Washington line was closed in 1985 as a cost-savings during a slow economic period; the Corona Station was closed in 1964 for similar reasons. These were short-sighted decisions, essentially pessimistic about the future of New York City and Queens. We believe that closing these stations was--and remains--a disservice to the people of our communities. The subways serving our neighborhoods are heavily used and overcrowded, and for the most part provide only local service. We have seen and admired the MTA's far-sighted, visionary decision to use existing Rights-of-Way to provide additional service to the public by establishing new stations in the East Bronx and here in Queens along the new IBX route. The former Corona and Elmhurst Stations are another example of an existing resource not being taken advantage of. Queens CBs 3 and 4 represent a nearby customer base of well over 300,000 people. The population density around both stations has only grown over the years since these stations were closed, as have the transportation needs of our community, 60% of whose households do not own a car. As the potential customer base for the LIRR has grown, the MTA's institution of the CityTicket program for LIRR has made it even easier for NYC residents to avail themselves of LIRR service, which would cut travel times to midtown by well over 50% from both stations. We urge the MTA to expedite the design and engineering project (previously funded) for the Elmhurst Station and to include as soon as possible in its capital plan construction funding for Elmhurst Station and engineering and design funds for Corona.

Requesting that surveillance cameras be funded .	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Argus cameras are funded via allocations from elected officials for use within their districts. Specific location recommendations should be provided to the local precinct commander for submission to the Information Technology Bureau once funding is allocated. The NYPD will attempt to accommodate specific location requests whenever funding is provided, but reserves the right to place cameras as appropriate due to current crime trends and operational needs.

3	New Youth Center	A youth facility in the heart of the district would be a huge help to our young residents and their families. Children in our town are in dire need of educational programs, homework help, extracurricular activities, counseling, and mentoring, all of which such a center might offer.

4	Rehabilitation of Distressed Buildings for Housing	Provide capital funding for HPD and NYCHA to acquire, rehabilitate, and transfer distressed, warehoused, or chronically under-maintained residential buildings in Queens Community District 4 (Elmhurst/Corona) into permanently affordable, non-speculative housing. This includes NYCHA-supported limited-equity cooperatives for low-incomes, Community Land Trust stewardship, and Habitat for Humanity-style sweat equity housing programs, where qualified local residents contribute labor toward rehab and in return secure long-term, permanently affordable homes. This keeps current residents in place, prevents speculative flipping and warehousing, and converts unsafe or idle buildings into safe, legal, permanently affordable housing that matches neighborhood incomes. Note: Queens CB4 median income is 70k contrasted to Manhattan CB8 median income of 152K the term "low Income district" is in comparison to other districts whom income are twice and sometimes triple of Queens CB4.

5	Bus Shelters Needed	New needs have appeared following the redesign of the Queens bus system this summer. These are already clear: There are often long lines at the new Q47 stop on the s/w corner of Broadway and 75th St. and at the Q-53SBS stop on the s/e corner of the same intersection. We request the installation of bus shelters there, and, if possible, at least one additional 3-person bench at each. We also request a new shelter at the w/b Q60 stop at Reeder St and Queens Blvd. Other stops that need shelters include on the Q58 & Q23: 108th St and the Horace Harding Expwy northbound; 108 & Otis both stops; on Q58: Corona Ave & 102 both ways. The 4 corners of the intersection of Broadway, Grand Ave, and Queens Blvd all have bus stops on them, but only two have shelters. Shelters or, at a minimum, benches, should be provided. The bus system redesign changes have left several bus shelters in place at discontinued stops. The e/b Q32/33 shelter at Roosevelt Ave & 76th St and the w/b Q58 shelter at Corona Ave & 104th St are developing homeless encampment problems. They might be relocated to meet one of our needs for new shelters. We are compiling a list of other discontinued shelters for discussion with DOT. We do understand that there will be a review of the changes in the spring of 2026, and we would not want to relocate shelters from bus stops that are now discontinued but may be re-instated then.

5	Manuel de Dios Triangle	Named after Cuban-born journalist Manuel de Dios Unanue, the former editor of El Diario killed for his critical reporting on drug cartels in the neighborhood, this triangle hosts an array of community activities. It has become a location for activism, health outreach, and HIV prevention education. However, the placement of the elevated park at the center of the triangle represents poor urban planning, as it reduces the space where community members can meet.

CS	Small Business Incubators / Kitchens	As businesses begin to reopen in the wake of COVID19, consideration should be put into small businesses that are the backbone of our local economy. Studies show that immigrants have a higher rate of business ownership than non-immigrants, with roughly one out of ten immigrant workers owning a business. While our community has made significant progress supporting street vendors (through community based organizations and local elected officials supporting positive legislation), we still lack a clear pipeline for street vendors to open a small business. Our community would benefit from funding allowing us to establish a small business incubator that provides mentorship, training, and education specifically regarding post epidemic safety protocols.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. The Department of Small Business Services provides access to financial assistance for small businesses through their NYC funds finder program. Through NYC's recently released Green Economy Action Plan, NYC has made commitments to investing in New Yorkers and small businesses by developing training opportunities, workforce career centers, expanding industry partnerships, establishing grant and loan opportunities and more.

1	Programming for Core Program Areas	Requesting support ACS core program areas, focusing on the services that address family needs upstream.		This request has already been completed. ACS agrees with supporting upstream services for families and we continue to do so: ACS continues to invest in and expand Family Enrichment Centers (FECs) a ground-breaking primary-prevention approach that leverages family and community strengths to increase stability, promote well-being, and build the “protective factors,” such as social connectivity, that help families weather hard times and reduce the risk of future child welfare involvement. FECs are trusted, community-driven hubs designed to support families before a crisis occurs, offering culturally responsive resources, peer support, concrete goods, and pathways to opportunity. For the Family Enrichment Centers (FECs), we started with just three centers back in FY17/FY18, and over the years have expanded to a network of 30. The final FEC is expected to open in FY26. ACS also has a unit focused on child safety and injury prevention—working with communities to educate them on how to keep children safe related to safe sleep, poison prevention and more. ACS also has a marketing campaign to educate the public on child safety.	This request has already been completed.

1	Support Non Profit Cultural Organizations	We are fortunate to share experiences with people of many nations. Immigrants from Asia and Latin America have made Elmhurst the most diverse part of Queens. Following World War II, Elmhurst became one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods as immigrants arrived from new areas. By the 1980s, there were people from 112 nations residing in the district. Meanwhile, Corona in the 1950s was predominately Italian and African American which began to change in the late 1990s, when immigrants from Latin America arrived. To support the past and ever growing history of our changing neighborhoods, CB4 is requesting funding to help support our cultural organizations tasked with documenting, preserving, and promoting awareness of the past and future development and growth of our iconic community.	every year since FY2021	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Smoke Free Education Campaigns	With the recent legalization of cannabis, and massive proliferation of smoke shops, marijuana and nicotine based products have become far more accessible to our youth. Smoke shops offering freebies and incentives of free marijuana and the like are putting products into children's hands that they would not otherwise have access to. Addiction and dependency is being instilled in our children's minds far too early in their lives. Furthermore studies are beginning to materialize that show increased cases of autism, and dementia since the legalization since legalization. Public Education on the dangers of vaping, marijuana use, and tobacco products must be far more prominent at a much earlier age as these products are often geared towards youth.

1	Park Enforcement Police	There is a district wide need to increase the number of Park Enforcement Police (PEP) officers to better address public safety and quality-of-life concerns within our parks. Currently, many issues that arise in park areas such as unauthorized activities, vandalism, and safety complaints fall to our local precinct which is already stretched thin by community-wide responsibilities. By expanding the presence of PEP officers, who are specifically trained to handle park-related matters, we can ensure more consistent enforcement of park rules, faster response times to incidents, and a stronger sense of safety for parkgoers. This would also allow local precinct officers to focus more effectively on broader public safety priorities, creating a more balanced and efficient approach to community issues.

The agency supports this request, but funding is not available at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
1	After School Programs K-5	After-school and Saturday activities for students in grades K thru 5 are in great need. Engaging programs that combine fun experiences with educational activities are very helpful to children at this developmental phase and help lay a solid foundation for learning throughout their entire lives. Along with improving academic performance, these programs promote critical Social Emotional Learning (SEL) abilities including empathy, self-awareness, and teamwork. Children gain mental toughness and improve their social skills through organized after-school programs, preparing them for future academic and personal success. These programs also offer a safe and stimulating environment for children outside of regular school hours, which is extremely helpful for working parents who have limited availability.	every year since FY2020	This request has already been completed.

1	Funding For Graffiti Cleanups	The district continues to see a spike in graffiti. Community groups in conjunction with several City agencies are doing their best to keep up via cleaning events and initiatives, but funding is still needed to expand on programs geared towards graffiti removal. Better yet funding can and should be allocated to programs geared towards replacing graffiti with murals designed by local community artists. Precincts in particular are often burdened with responsibility of obtaining funding and paint supplies on their own. Requesting that a funding stream be given directly to precincts.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Portable Housing Choice Vouchers	HRA has advised funds have been allocated to prevent homelessness and other services. Requesting "Portable" Housing Choice Vouchers for the homeless families in our district in the hotel shelter which allows shelter residents to move anywhere in the country, and the city pays the rent depending on the family income. Most of the families living in the shelter are working families that earn the 40% AMI for the area, and like most people with extremely low incomes, there are a few, if any rents that allow for a family-size apartment. A Portable Housing Voucher for a working family for one year at 30% of the family's monthly income would be far less in a location where the rents are far cheaper.	every year since FY2025	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification.

1	Additional Crossing Guards and Program Expansion	With the recent shortage in crossing guards, and growth in student population district-wide, more crossing guards are vital to meet current and future needs. While the NYPD is actively hiring, crossing guards are often underpaid, and under appreciated. Additional duties would perhaps justify an increase in pay and resources.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. NYPD total staffing levels depend on decisions made in the Preliminary and Executive budget process. Allocation of uniformed personnel is scheduled by the NYPD only after graduation of Police classes from the Academy.

2	Signage - District Wide	Community signage in public spaces, such as "Welcome to" neighborhood signs, plays an important role in fostering a sense of identity, pride, and belonging among residents. These signs help define the character of a community, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. They can also serve practical purposes by marking boundaries, guiding traffic, and promoting local landmarks and/ or events.		Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

2	111 Street Study	Location: 111th Street - 44 Avenue & 44 Avenue This section of 111th Street has been a topic of discussion for close to 3 decades, but has not undergone any infrastructural improvement. Agency response dictates that this is an unsupported project despite constant street flooding, injuries, and dangers associated with this issue. The adjacent school (PS28), and the newly implemented STEM school located at the Hall of Science will see thousands of students crossing these dangerous intersections. While we understand that a capital sewer project isn't necessarily possible due to fiscal constraints, a study to evaluate this corridor for green infrastructure is sorely needed.	every year since FY2024	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

2	Traffic Study - E bikes	We see that the National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) has issued several excellent recommendations regarding safety improvements for e-bikes, and e-scooters. One of these (NTSB SR2201) involves local governments implementing a program to establish annual trip counts and miles traveled by e-bikes and e-scooters with the FHA estimating crash, serious injury, and fatality rates. If DOT is already considering this in response to the NTSB recommendation, CB4 would happily volunteer to serve as a pilot area; we believe that this date for CB4 would be useful to all agencies working to make these new, alternative modes of transportation safer.	every year since FY2026	Agency supports and can accommodate.

2	Funding For Street Tree Repairs	Homeowners affected by tree roots lifting sidewalks should not have to wait years before repairs are completed. Although funding has increased in the past, an additional increase in FY 2027 is requested to help complete the existing backlog of requests.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Due to limited resources, we are only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Trees & Sidewalks Program, but additional funding cannot be determined at this time. If you are a homeowner with time-sensitive needs for sidewalk repair, or you own a non-Tax Class 1 property that is not eligible for Parks’ Trees & Sidewalks Program, repairing the sidewalk through an independent contractor is often the quickest solution. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. If you wish to file a claim against the City of New York for the cost of repairs you performed to your sidewalk because of damage that you believe was caused by a City tree, you may do so by filing a claim with the New York City Comptroller’s Office within 90 days of performing the repair.	The agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
2	Commercial Sidewalk Enforcement	Several areas of our district are seeing a substantial amount of garbage pile up on commercial corridors such as Queens Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, Junction Boulevard, Broadway, 57th Avenue and Van Loon St., and National Street near Corona Plaza and 57th Ave. These areas are infamously known for excessive littering by vendors, but enforcement is scarce. More over with the ACE Program in effect at several of these locations, enforcement should be more stringent on locations who have no reason to not maintain their sidewalks including adjacent tree pits. Frequently there has been illegal dumping of discarded construction materials along many of these corridors.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

2	Delivery of Emergency Food Services	Local Law Int 2057 - 2020 is a Local Law that requires relevant city agencies to develop a plan ensuring that students have access to school meals during emergency situations. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it was clear that food insecurity within our communities is very much an issue. Many of our households depended very highly on food pantries to sustain them. Our students however were/ and still need daily meals as they would normally receive during normal school hours. Funding should be allocated not only to address these issues during emergencies, but throughout the year as food insecurity is not temporary. This area is a costal flooding hazard and this community is in need of such protocols development.	every year since FY2022	The agency does not understand the request as written and requires more clarification.

2	Small Business Owner Technology Training	Newly opened small businesses will need to re-evaluate how to conduct business while adhering to new public health measures. For many of them, converting to digital advertising and shipping will be anything but avoidable. Many of the small businesses in our district have been in existence for decades and before the pandemic, were able to survive under the old model, However due to a variety in language barriers and technological competencies, many business owners may need training to learn new marketing techniques in how to continue operating through a second wave and post pandemic.	every year since FY2022	Agency supports and can accommodate.

3	Green Infrastructure Staffing and Program Expansion	Requesting more staffing for the maintenance of our rain gardens. This is imperative because Queens has the most rain gardens in NYC with a large backlog of pending repairs. DEP currently deploys 7 staffers per day to clean catch basins in Queens. This is insufficient to meet the basic needs of our rain gardens. Left unrepaired and without maintenance, these gardens will exasperate the flooding issues instead of alleviating. As one of the recognized methods in the CloudBurst program to cope with overland flooding rain gardens need to be maintained in order to be effective hence the need for increased personnel.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

Funding is needed to shorten this cycle, and to restore pruner and climber positions to the DPR. A shorter year pruning cycle will produce stronger, healthier, and better looking trees. A strong maintenance program is needed to care for existing and future trees.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate. Funding for our block pruning program was restored to pre-COVID levels, and our 7-year pruning cycle matches industry standards. Any individual trees that need attention for public safety reasons should be reported by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. We agree with the need to increase staff and capacity to address our existing backlog of tree work, but that funding cannot be determined at this time. NYC Parks has made strides to increase its in-house tree work capacity through the Climber & Pruner Training Program, an in-house training program that connects current entry-level Parks employees with the training to become Climber & Pruners. With this program, Parks expects to add 15-20 new Climber & Pruners to the workforce every 15 months to help mitigate recruitment and hiring challenges.	This request is not recommended for funding.
3	Increase Enforcement For Illegal Postings	Location: Roosevelt Ave - 72nd St & 72nd St There has been a rise in illegal postings on street lights, utility poles, walls, parking meters, and construction fences. Many of these posts advertise illegal dwellings and illegal activities. This is particularly bad on Roosevelt Avenue between 72nd St and 114th St. We believe enforcement and patrolling of these sites by DSNY Enforcement to stop the individuals who post these signs is the solution. We want to emphasize this need and specific culprits because many local businesses and home owners are trying their best to clean these but need our support.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate.

2	Other street trees and forestry services requests (Street Tree Plantings/Stump Removals)	PROVIDE NEW STREET TREE PLANTINGS AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR STUMP REMOVALS, PLANTING OF REPLACEMENT TREES, AND STREET TREE REMOVALS The tornado that devastated portions of the CB5Q area on 9/16/2010 resulted in the loss of several hundred trees completely, and has necessitated removal of dead trees, along with street tree stumps. Funding is needed to replace uprooted trees, for the removal and replacement of dead trees, for the removal of street tree stumps and for emergency pruning of dangerous street tree conditions. Hurricane Irene uprooted numerous additional trees. Consideration for new plantings should include: Grand Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, Fresh Pond Road and Wyckoff Avenue. CB5Q has, for decades, pushed for new street tree plantings, with much success. Street trees reduce air pollution and beautify city streets. Asthma and other respiratory problems are a great concern.	every year since FY2020	Agency supports and can accommodate. As part of our new Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will be planting trees in every viable location across the city on a predictable 9-year cycle, prioritizing the most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods first. Find out when we will be planting each neighborhood on the Parks website: https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/street-tree-planting. As part of our Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, dead trees and stumps will be removed and replaced with new trees where feasible. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. Forestry contract funding has been restored to pre-COVID levels.

1	Assign additional building inspectors (including expanding training programs)	HIRE INSPECTORS AND PLAN EXAMINERS, IN SUFFICIENT NUMBERS, TO COPE WITH ILLEGAL USES OF PROPERTY AND QUESTIONABLE CONSTRUCTION A separate afternoon/evening and weekend inspection team of 10 inspectors for Queens is critical because inspectors very often can't gain access in the daytime during the work-week. Communities throughout Queens have been plagued with illegal apartments posing dangerous conditions, school overcrowding and more pressure on limited City services. Construction inspectors and plan examiners in adequate numbers are needed to curtail contractors building homes larger than the zoning permits.

QCB13 receives a large number of calls with concern about damaged trees and overhanging tree branches. The contract for tree pruning needs to be increased before there is excessive property damage or personal injury.	every year since FY2022	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Parks’ block pruning program provides neighborhood-based, proactive tree maintenance by addressing a portion of the street trees in each CB every year. Parks inspects, then prunes all city-owned street trees above 4"" in diameter on a routine 7-year cycle, which is an industry standard. The goals of block pruning are to reduce damage caused during storms, avoid blocking traffic signals, remove dead branches, improve tree health and structure, and encourage growth away from built infrastructure. If there are individual trees in need of pruning for public safety in between this cycle, we encourage anyone to submit a service request by locating the tree on the NYC Tree Map (and clicking on the “report a problem” tab), calling 311, or using our online tree service request system. Our inspectors will visit the tree and determine the appropriate action in accordance with our Tree Risk Management Program. If you think that any City tree requires work outside of these Parks maintenance programs, you can hire a qualified arborist to perform work on the tree. Anyone performing work on or within 50 feet of a City tree must obtain a Tree Work Permit from Parks before beginning work. Alternatively, Trees New York offers a course for anyone interested in becoming a Citizen Pruner. Citizen Pruners can remove dead, damaged, and diseased limbs, crossing branches, and limbs obstructing traffic signs, storefront signage, and windows. To legally prune street trees yourself, you must complete and pass Trees New York’s Citizen Pruner Course. Visit their website or email info@treesny.org for more information. We agree with the need for more funding and resources to increase the capacity of our Forestry Division and reduce the existing backlog of tree work, but that funding cannot be determined at this time.

1	Sewer & Drainage Map	The first step in initiating any sewer project is to amend the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) drainage map. The following areas must be included: Kreischer Street, Androvette Street, Storer Avenue, Carlin Avenue, Winant Place, and several streets south of Hylan Boulevard between Chelsea Street and Sprague Avenue. The South Shore continues to experience worsening flooding due to insufficient stormwater management. Variations of existing stormwater practices , such as the Bluebelt program , have proven to be effective and cost-saving solutions. The utilization of existing ponds, natural streams, and wetlands must be incorporated into future designs. This area includes a mix of residential and thriving business properties, making proper stormwater planning essential to protect homes, support commerce, and reduce chronic flooding.	every year since FY2020	Agency does not support and cannot accommodate.

1	Arthur Kill Widening Phase III	Location: Arthur Kill Road - West Service Road & Main Street HWR1140C -Fund the reconstruction and widening of Arthur Kill Road between West Service Road (WSE) and Main Street (Phase III). This project was previously removed following the FY23 OMB response that it could not be funded, but current conditions now make it more critical than ever. Ongoing, large-scale commercial and industrial development along Arthur Kill Road has dramatically increased traffic congestion, raised safety concerns, and accelerated roadway deterioration. This corridor serves as a key connector for manufacturing zones in Rossville, Charleston, and Richmond Valley, supporting both local commerce and regional freight movement. With the unprecedented volume of new construction and expanded commercial activity, the existing roadway infrastructure is no longer sufficient. Reconstructing and widening Arthur Kill Road is essential to maintaining safe traffic flow, supporting continued economic growth, and ensuring the area remains functional for residents, workers, and businesses.	since FY2023	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Provide a new NYPD facility, such as a new precinct house or sub-precinct	The 123rd Precinct is over 100 years old and no longer meets the operational or community needs of Staten Island's South Shore. Since its construction, the population within its boundaries has quadrupled, yet the facility has never been expanded. The building is severely overcrowded, with no adequate parking, workspace, or areas for officer wellness. These conditions contribute to high turnover and hinder effective policing. A modern precinct is essential to support public safety and strengthen community trust. The closed Outerbridge Park & Ride site offers an ideal location for a new facility. The City should pursue an agreement with NYS DOT to repurpose this property, providing officers and the public with a safe, functional, and welcoming space that reflects the needs of today's growing community.	every year since FY2022	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. Due to ongoing budget cuts, the NYPD has had significant limitations in its ability to execute capital projects. While this request has been reviewed, current funding for this project is unavailable at this time.	Due to fiscal constraints, the availability of funds is uncertain.
2	Other capital budget request for DEP	A pump station is urgently needed in the Charleston/Richmond Valley area because of the existing topography and the required minimum sewer grades.

1	Allocate funds for outreach services to homebound older adults and for programs that allow the elderly to age in place	The South Shore's growing senior population would greatly benefit from expanded programs and services that allow older adults to remain independent and engaged in their communities. Increased funding for senior centers is essential to support aging residents through meal and nutrition programs, health and wellness initiatives, counseling, and social and recreational activities. Programs that help older adults age safely in place , while staying connected to family, neighbors, and community life , are critical to maintaining quality of life and reducing isolation among Staten Island's seniors.	every year since FY2021	Agency supports but cannot accommodate.

1	Street Tree Maintenance	Despite repeated requests, funding for Street Tree Maintenance Programs remains insufficient, and conditions worsen each year. A proactive, real-time strategy is needed for storm-related downed tree removal, stump removal, and sidewalk repairs caused by root damage. Current maintenance practices are reactive and inadequate, creating hazardous conditions for residents and exposing the City to costly liability claims. Establishing a condition-based maintenance program would improve safety, reduce long-term costs, and ensure a more resilient urban environment.	since FY2022	Agency supports but cannot accommodate. We agree that additional funding would increase the capacity of our Forestry Division. Parks' forestry maintenance is both proactive (through our neighborhood-based block pruning program) and reactive (through responding to storms and service requests and taking appropriate action according to our Tree Risk Management approach). Through our Neighborhood Tree Planting approach, we will also be removing dead trees and stumps and replacing them with new trees where feasible. Due to limited resources, our Trees & Sidewalks Program is only able to repair the most severely damaged sites across all five boroughs.
