Plans Filed for Seven Story Homeless Shelter – 4th Avenue & 66th Street in Bay Ridge – SRO
NYC Records are the best source for information. Today ‘s information about the homeless shelter in Bay Ridge is from the Department of Buildings Now website. (See it here)
Search by the property’s address: 6530 – 4th Avenue.
When were politicians and Community Board 10 informed?
On November 29th the plans for the homeless shelter were published on NYC’s website even though the Community Board hasn’t heard the proposal or voted.
The Rockefeller Christmas Street is 80 feet tall. This SRO is almost as big at 72 feet tall.
The Department of Buildings shows that this property was accepted to the Development Hub after a consultation meeting held on May 9th (more than 6 months ago!)
NYC Acris shows that the mortgage was tax exempt in April 2023.
The layout of the homeless shelter is there – cafeteria in the Sub Cellar 1.
The Floors 1-7 are for Congregate Living – Homeless Shelter.
Leaders in Bay Ridge would have shared these plans with the community if they represented the community.
The documents refer to this building as a SRO. A Bay Ridge resident wrote that this was a shelter for homeless veterans and their families…..No this is a SRO – Single Resident Occupancy.
There is no mention of Veterans on any of the documents.
The building qualified for incentives. (More info about this incentive)
Could the placement of a homeless shelter in a community in Brooklyn be this far along without someone approving it?
Anyone telling you that this building is not being build until 2025, doesn’t know what is going on in our community.
There are already complaints about this property:
For the Admin on the Bay Ridge Talk Facebook Page: there is no one “to confirm” this with because Councilman Brannan said he was only aware of this project two weeks ago and Senator Gounardes is silent as usual. NYC’s records = primary source!
