Top issues during term (20)(Development)
Bourne and Kenney Apartments (Pennrose)
Unresolved, this boundary question could delay the acquisition closing and stall the renovation timeline.
Tenant rights at Varick-Peterson Homes
1 Lafayette Project PILOT Agreement
The developer says the PILOT would net the city about $7 million more over 30 years than the vacant lot pays now, in exchange for roughly $5 million in forgone potential tax revenue.
Two Washington Street waterfront development
The developer reportedly seeks a PILOT only on the commercial portion; housing would pay full taxes.
Fairness and transparency in city property sales
The delayed sale is $105,000 to the city; the broader trust cost isn't quantifiable.
Property sale dispute at 30 Benkard Avenue
The city would forgo sale proceeds and tax-roll placement if the deal collapses.
Kearney Realty PILOT and development agreements
PILOT agreement affects property tax revenue from the redevelopment parcels; specifics not detailed in the session.
City Club property disposition
Dutch Reformed Church stabilization
Stabilization could cost tens of millions; a grant match line remains in the budget.
Sale of 252 Liberty Street
The sale would bring $180,000 into city coffers and return the parcel to private ownership.
75 Wisner Avenue property sale extension
The change affects proceeds and timing from the sale of city-owned property; dollar figures were not stated in the agenda.
Sale of 60 Hasbrouck Street
$50,000 in revenue to the city from the sale.
1 Lafayette PILOT for affordable housing
The PILOT means the developer pays reduced taxes for a period; the exact figure wasn't stated.
Broadway Deed Restriction Releases
17 Johnston Street Redevelopment Agreement
Land Bank affordable housing and homeownership
$14.5 million invested to date; $387,000 spent this year acquiring twelve city properties now that $1 transfers are barred by law.
Urban renewal reparations and accountability
Restrictive Covenant Releases (Lutheran Street and City Terrace)
Affordable housing conditions — Kenny Apartments and Varicks
Slumlord enforcement and tenant protections
