From the June issue: New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development expects to save $3.7 million from federal grants just two months after its commissioner, Maria Torres-Springer, warned that the Trump administration and Congress could eliminate that funding, Politico reported. HPD has created a provision that allows contractors on its watch list for illegal behavior and shoddy workmanship to apply for a conditional removal. Residential loft tenants around the city could lose their homes if they miss a June 15 application deadline to legalize their apartments under the state’s Loft Law. Community leaders in Hell’s Kitchen were surprised to learn that the city may reserve 10 percent of a two-site, 267-unit affordable development for the homeless, DNAinfo reported. Community Board 4 members say that violates a commitment the city made to set aside units for moderate- and middle-income residents following the 2009 rezoning of the West Side rail yards.
