One Hundred Units At 7120 New Utrecht Avenue Went to NYC Planning Commission
Today there was a hearing on Zoom by the NYC Planning Commission concerning 7120 New Utrecht Avenue.
Justin Brannan represents this area and he was awful about providing information to residents from the start in September 2022! (See here)
Here’s is what the current location looks like. It was a bank and then this Summer, an all girls school leased the building. (See here)
When people questioned what was going in that area on Facebook, Brannan did not reveal these plans.
David Lu, an attorney, spoke for residents in the area. He spoke about buildings being in darkness because of this building. He also mentioned that there is a rat problem in the area. The area has single family homes and this building is out of character with the neighborhood.

Jay, Brooklyn resident spoke about the other developments in the area (condos). Jay brought attention to the height of this building and how it far exceeds the one-family homes in the area. He also spoke about how Community Board 11 opposed the building.
Mike, another Brooklyn resident talked about the overcrowding of the schools in the area – from primary grades to high school. Mike also spoke about the outdated electric grid and problems with the sewer systems.
