Ariel Rawlings.

Shamsalkafaji.

Michael McCarthy.

And do you affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in your testimony before the subcommittee and an answer to all council member questions?

Awesome.

You may begin.

Hi everyone.

My name is Shamsalgafaji, and I'm a senior project manager with HPD's Affordable Neighborhood Cooperative Program, or ANCP.

First, I would like to thank the subcommittee on landmarks, public sightings, and resiliency and dispositions for your time today.

This morning I'll be speaking on 511 West 171st Street Cluster, which is a proposal to rehabilitate three buildings in Washington Heights under HPD's ANCP.

Next slide, please.

This project comprises of three buildings, 511 West 171st Street, 522 West 174th Street, and 501 West 174th Street.

The project sponsor is Lumley and Wolf Companies, the construction lender's low income investment fund or LIF.

There are 50 units total in these buildings, 36 of which are occupied or existing households, and 14 are vacant and will be first-time home buyers.

The sales prices for the existing residents will be $2,500 or $250 for qualifying residents who earn under 80% of the area median income or AMI.

The sales prices for the vacant units will be affordable to 80% AMI households.

The monthly maintenance is set per square foot so that the building income will cover at least 105% of the projected building expenses.

The expected closing date for this project is September 2026, and here you'll see a breakdown of the post-rehab unit sizes where there will be three one bedrooms, 14 two bedrooms, and 33 three bedrooms.

Next slide, please.

The purpose of this program is to gut renovate the tenant interim lease or till buildings and to enable the 36 existing households to become homeowners.

The structure of this program will be a collaboration between a sponsor, Lumley and Wolf, of whom we have Mike McCarthy today, partnering with HPD.

The sponsor will manage the building during construction and throughout the conversion process.

During construction, the nonprofit restoring communities HDFC will own the building to prevent any potential conflicts of interest with the sponsor.

Upon conversion, the building will be owned and managed by the residents of the buildings, including the existing residents and the new purchasers of the currently vacant residents or vacant units, excuse me.

The requirements for the buildings to convert to cooperatives are to have 80% of existing residents attend to at least eight co-op success trainings, which will be provided during the construction period.

80% of existing residents must also remain current on their rent payments, and lastly, 80% of the existing residents must choose to purchase their units at co-op conversion.

Any buildings that do not convert will become rent stabilized rental buildings post-rehab.

Next slide, please.

To speak on the affordability of these units, existing tenants will pay $250 if they are earning up to 80% of the area median income.

Residents that earn more than 80% of the area median income will pay $2,500 to purchase their converted units.

Existing residents will not obtain any personal mortgages for the purchase of their units.

For the 14 new purchasers of the currently vacant units, purchase prices will be set affordable to 80% of the area median income.

These prices are set so that the purchasers' personal mortgages plus monthly maintenance plus utilities will not exceed roughly one-third of their income to remain affordable.

The area median income for a family of three in 2026 is shown here on the slides.

Next slide, please.

The till rents that residents are currently paying do not produce enough income to maintain the buildings.

The monthly cost through ANCP will change through a rent restructuring process, ensuring that no tenant pays more than 30% of their income at that point of conversion.

The expenses required to maintain a building include building insurance, heat and hot water, electric and public areas, maintenance staff salaries, sewer, accountant, and legal extermination, minor repairs, just to name a few.

The shareholders will collectively decide how much they would like to increase the maintenance biannually, but there is a required 2% increase per year per the ANCP term sheet.

Next slide, please.

Any qualifying residents will receive Section 8 vouchers to ensure that they do not pay more than 30% of their total income on housing costs.

The voucher will subsidize the difference between the resident's share, which is 30%, and the maintenance fee.

Households that earn more than 40% AMI, the initial maintenance is set so that maintenance prices plus utilities do not exceed roughly one-third of their income.

There are some estimates below on the slide of what monthly maintenance may look like at conversion, but these are just estimates again.

Exact costs will be set closer to actual conversion date.

But just to ensure no one will pay more than 30% of their income.

You'll see on the slide an example of the total monthly payments for a household in ANCP with an income of $20,000.

The total maintenance for one bedroom is roughly $1,138 to cover 105% of building expenses.

The shareholder would only pay $500, which is 30% of their income, and the voucher would then subsidize the maintenance with $638.

Next slide, please.

Typical project costs are included in the rehabilitation work, are introducing new building systems, which include low carbon electrical and heating systems, new water and gas lines, and new electrification scopes through NICERTA.

Costs also go to the repair of roofs, the roof, windows, modernizing security, legalizing the unit layouts, and bringing the buildings up to code.

Introducing new improved accessibility features, including accessible showers, wheelchair accessibility within the units.

Also noting that all of the residents in these buildings have seen and most have signed off on their units layouts.

These costs and repairs are made to ensure that buildings are in the best condition to transfer ownership to the residents.

Lastly, residents are typically relocated during the construction period, which is approximately 24 to 30 months, which the project budget covers the difference between the current amount they pay, which is the till rents, and the relocation rents until conversion.

Project budget also covers every other cost related to moving, like boxes, movers, tape, storage, etc.

Next slide, please.

Typical financing for co-op projects is the major is majority paid for through a city capital loan, which will be provided in the amount of 500 to 700,000 per unit.

There will be zero debt payments and zero dollar interest payments for 40 years tied to the Article 11 property tax exemption, and the first loan payment will be due to the city after 40 years only if the co-op chooses to exit affordability.

If the co-op chooses to stay under the regulatory agreement, then there will be no loan payment due and zero dollar debt payments.

HBD's loan does not impact the maintenance fee amount because as discussed earlier, the maintenance fee amount has been set to cover the building expenses and to add an affordability metric.

The subsidized acquisition cost of $1 per building because the buildings are currently city owned.

Also brings down total affordable total development costs significantly.

This project is also receiving funding through New York State grant affordable housing corporation or AHC, which will not be repaid.

Sales proceeds from both the occupied units but primarily from the vacant units will help provide funds to help finance the project.

And lastly, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority or NICERTA, Clean Edison or Con Edison Clean Heat, and New York State Community Controlled Affordable Housing, which are all grants provided by the state, which are not repaid.

Next slide, please.

Residents will have the opportunity to build equity in this process.

Shown here on the slides is a chart that is the estimated equity a homeowner would earn from selling their two-bedroom unit at differing points of the conversion.

Selling after one year would earn them approximately $32,000, as 95% of the profit would go back to the cooperative, whereas selling after 10 years would earn them $152,000, where 20% of the profit will go back to the cooperative.

Ultimately, the goal of this shared equity system is to build wealth to balance wealth building for shareholders and their heirs with permanent affordability for the community.

Next slide, please.

For the development timeline for this project, the sponsor designation process has already occurred as previously mentioned.

Lemmley and Wolf has been designated.

We're currently in the pre-development phase.

We've had continuous tenant engagement, scope of work has been determined, budget and financing are currently in the works.

We have 94% tenant sign-off on layouts, and we plan to obtain 100% in the coming weeks, and we plan to have all tenants relocated by fall of 2026.

We're anticipating that construction will take between 24 and 30 months.

During that period, the deed of the buildings will be transferred from the city to restoring communities, the temporary owner of the buildings, then the construction loan will close and construction will begin as soon as the tenants are relocated.

Tenants will attend the previously mentioned co-op home ownership trainings, and then the sponsor will engage an attorney to create an offering plan, which is what allows us to convert to co-op at the end of construction.

After construction finishes, we anticipate it will take between 9 to 12 months to go through the marketing and conversion process so that the tenants can be moved back to the building as soon as it's ready.

Marketing and for the vacant units will begin.

The buildings will convert to co-op once those units are being marketed and have signed purchasers, and the deed will be transferred to the co-op, and then the construction loan will be paid off at that co-op conversion point by permanent financing.

Next slide, please.

And here I'll pass it off to Mike McCarthy of Lumley and Wolf to speak about their organization's experience.

Thank you.

Hi.

Starting in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx, and uh now we have a footprint throughout the throughout the city.

Uh this is our second uh ANCP project.

Uh, we're working on the third one with with Shams and her team.

Uh and we've also developed another uh other homeownership projects under the um open door uh program.

So we're very familiar with uh with HPD's homeownership projects, and we're very committed to homeownership opportunities for New Yorkers.

And you can go to the next slide for contact info, but that's all.

Well, thank you so much for the presentation.

Any of my colleagues have questions.

Okay.

Uh well, I want to say thank you, and the panel is excuse.

If there are any remote public participants who wish to testify and have not already done so, please press raise hand button now.

And if you are here with us in person, please see one of the sergeant of arms to first fill out a speaker card.

Guessing no one's here.

Um since there are no other members of the public who wish to testify regarding preconsider LU for the 50 for 511 West 171st Street Cluster Project.

The joint public hearing is now closed, and the items are laid over.

LU 92 for the landmarking of the Church of St.

Mary in my district on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, LU 93 for the landmarking of the Lithuanian Alliance in Councilmember Wilson's district in Chelsea's neighborhood of Manhattan.

Appearing today on this proposal are Stephen Thomas and Margaret Herman.

Those wishing to testify remotely must register online by visiting the council website at countsu.nyc.gov slash land use.

Panelists, please ensure that your microphones are on.

Council, would you please administer the affirmation?

Panelists, would you please raise your right hand and state your name for the record?

Margaret Herman.

Stephen Thompson.

And do you affirm to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth in your testimony before the subcommittee and an answer to all council member questions?

Yes.

Yes.

I guess before we begin, I know Councilmember Wilson would like to say a statement.

Svecky, they see.

My Lithuanian's a little rusty, but I'm told that means.

Greetings to all.

I'm proud to support the historic landmark designation of the Lithuanian Alliance building.

For over a hundred years, the Lithuania Alliance has used this building as a base to help fellow immigrants from Lithuania settle into life in the United States and to enrich the city with Lithuanian culture, thought, and heritage.

The work continues today as the alliance preserves and shares Lithuanian cultural heritage.

The building is a touchstone in the history of immigration to New York City and a model for the future as our city becomes more pluralistic and strives to be more equitable.

I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting this designation.

Svesky me cartou.

How's that?

Okay.

That means let's celebrate together.

Sounds great.

Very good.

Thank you.

All right.

Well, thank you, Councilmember Wellsid.

And we'll allow the panelists to begin.

Thank you.

Good morning, Chair Marte and Subcommittee members.

My name is Margaret Herman, Director of Research at the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Thank you for the opportunity to present our three recent individual landmark designations.

The Church of St.

Mary, the Lithuanian Alliance Building, and Public School 15 Annex.

All three of these designations are architecturally significant and culturally significant relating to the immigration history of New York City.

The designations fulfill LPC's goals of equity by helping to tell the story of all New Yorkers.

We were delighted to receive so much support for all three of these designations at the public hearings in March.

For St.

Mary's in particular, we were especially pleased about Chair Marte's testimony in support of the designation.

We received testimony with strong support from the owners of the Lithuanian Alliance and PS 15 Annex, as well as a variety of preservation advocacy groups, including the Landmarks Conservancy, Historic District's Council, the Lower East Side Preservation Initiative, the Borham Hill Association, and others, and many members of the public.

Next slide.

Starting with the Church of St.

Mary.

The Church of St.

Mary is the home of Manhattan's third oldest Catholic parish.

It was founded in 1826 to serve the rapidly growing Irish immigrant population of the Lower East Side, and today it remains an important center of Catholic immigrant life in the community.

The building was completed in 1833, making it the second oldest existing Catholic church building in Manhattan.

Originally adorned with a Greek revival facade, prolific Irish American architect of Catholic churches Patrick Charles Keely designed its current Romanesque revival facade and towers in 1864.

Next slide.

The church is located at 440 Grand Street between Clinton and Pitt Streets, and the landmark site is the tax lot.

Next slide, please.

Since the colonial period, Irish immigrants to New York faced anti-Catholic discrimination and violence, including a prohibition of Catholic priests that persisted beyond American independence.

The repeal of this law in 1784 cleared the way for the open practice of Catholicism in New York State with St.

Mary's established in 1826.

In 1832, the parish began construction of the first purpose-built Roman Catholic Church on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

The church was built with fieldstone side facades and a monumental Greek revival primary facade.

Next slide.

The parish thrived and in 1864 engaged Irish-born architect Patrick Charles Keely to expand the church and update its facade.

Over the course of his career, Keeley designed nearly 600 churches in the United States.

St.

Mary's is the first individual New York City landmark designed by Keeley.

Keely's facade design for St.

Mary's, dominated by double towers, is executed in red brick with handsome brownstone details.

The church is a striking example of Romanesque revival architecture using the rounded arches that define the style.

Next slide.

Uh the image on the right shows St.

Mary's looking from the rear along the now gone Ridge Street.

While the front facade was remade, the fieldstone side facades from the Greek Revival style original construction remain.

Next slide, please.

The blocks surrounding the church changed dramatically over the course of the mid-20th century as smaller tenements and mixed use structures gave way to high-rise residential buildings during the era of urban renewal.

In the 1960s, St.

Mary's partnered with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish the Grand Street Guild, an organization dedicated to building affordable housing in the neighborhood.

One of these buildings was built just to the east of St.

Mary's, resulting in the D mapping of Ridge Street and the creation of a pedestrian path and community space pictured at the right.

Next slide, please.

In its early history, the Church of St.

Mary was central to the lives of many of the earliest Catholics who came to New York from Ireland.

It continues to be an important community institution to more recent Catholic immigrants, including the many from Spanish speaking communities who make up the parish today.

Next slide.

The Church of St.

Mary embodies two centuries of the history and diversity of immigrants on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and it remains an important reminder of the neighborhood's early development.

Thank you.

Uh next slide.

Uh so now we'll move on to the Lithuanian Alliance building uh in Manhattan.

Next slide.

Located in the northern area of Chelsea, the Lithuanian Alliance building is an example of the neighborhood's handsome nineteenth century residential fabric and has important cultural significance due to the Lithuanian Alliance being headquartered in the building for more than a hundred years.

The Neo Greek style building was constructed between 1876 and 1877 and was purchased in 1910 by the Lithuanian Alliance, which still owns the building and operates there today.

Next slide.

The building is located on the north side of West 30th Street, just west of 8th Avenue, and the landmark site is the tax lot.

Next slide.

The Lithuanian Alliance building could be seen just under the red arrow on the photo at the right.

Developers Samuel J.

and Edward E.

Ashley bought the lot in 1867 and in 1876 filed plans for a four-family dwelling.

Next slide.

The Lithuanian Alliance was established in 1886, and the organization bought this building in 1910.

Fraternal alliances such as the Lithuanian Alliance were set up to help fellow immigrants weather the difficulties of life in the United States, offering material aid like insurance policies, health benefits, loans, and loans, as well as seeking to preserve and propagate Lithuanian cultural heritage.

Lithuanians have a long history in the United States with an influx of immigrants starting in the late 19th century.

By 1904, there were roughly 15,000 Lithuanians in New York and New Jersey.

Next slide.

In addition to its other activities, the Alliance also established the Lithuanian language paper Tavine.

Around the time the Alliance purchased 307 West 30th Street, the paper began operating out of the basement of the building and was published weekly.

Next slide.

The building was altered in 1976 as part of a modernization plan that involved painting the facade white and adding metal panels at the ground level.

But under the guidance of a preservation architect, the Lithuanian Alliance removed these panels in 2018 and restored the historic features, restoring the appearance of the building as it was first constructed.

Next slide.

The Lithuanian Alliance building exemplifies the important history of Lithuanian Americans in New York City.

The Lithuanian Alliance played an essential role in aiding immigrants, ranging from those recently arrived at Ellis Island to those with a longer tenure in the country.

And for over a century, the Lithuanian Alliance has been located at this building and it continues to be a hub of Lithuanian culture to this day.

Next slide.

And finally, I'll present Public School 15 Annex in Brooklyn.

Next slide.

The Public School 15 Annex represents a distinctive design by James Naughton, the prolific superintendent of public school buildings in Brooklyn in the last quarter of the 19th century.

From the 1920s to the 1940s, the building served as a headquarters of the influential Brooklyn Girls' Continuation School, a pioneering institution that expanded educational, economic, and social opportunities for young women.

Next slide.

The building is located on the southeast corner of Skirmahorn Street and 3rd Avenue, and the landmark site is the tax lot.

Next slide, please.

The architect James Naughton was an Irish immigrant who came to New York as a child in 1848.

He held various city positions until he became superintendent of schools for the Brooklyn Board of Education.

In this position, he constructed over 100 schools.

Next slide.

In the 1880s, the school became overcrowded, and in 1889 it was enlarged with the construction of this distinctively designed annexed building.

Naughton articulated the elevation of the school through varied materials and sculptural massing, emphasizing a central vertical element that lifts the composition upward.

Next slide.

The Brooklyn Girls' Continuation School was regarded as the forefront of democracy in the school system and was part of a larger continuation school program providing education for children above the age of 14 who until 1919 had no right to education and often went straight to work in dangerous, low-paying jobs.

The girls school specifically addressed challenges girls faced, including the expectation to care for the family and tend to the home.

Students learned practical skills such as dressmaking and household budgets, and were also given the opportunity to study bookkeeping, stenography, nursing, and other subjects that required technical training.

Next slide.

In the mid 1920s, the population of downtown Brooklyn surrounding the school was primarily immigrants from Europe, including Lithuania, Italy, Poland, Ireland, and the Netherlands, and this was reflected in the Girls' Continuation School's student and teacher populations.

Next slide.

With funding from the WPA, the school also became an evening vocational and English language school for adult men and women in the 1930s.

Next slide.

The Girls' Continuation School closed in 1942, and the building next became a Department of Education outpatient clinic for child psychology.

In the 1990s, it housed a specialized business high school continuing to teach young adults vocational skills.

And in 2007, it became home to the Khalil Gabrand International Academy.

Next slide.

With its distinctive architecture intact today, the public school 15 Annex is a place that has served multiple academic functions over its lifetime, providing education and independence for children, women, and immigrants, and the building continues to reflect its history as an important site of opportunity.

Thank you, and we're happy to answer questions on any of these designations.

Thank you for the presentation.

I also want to acknowledge that we've been joined by Councilmember Thomas Henry.

Do any of my colleagues have any questions?

No.

I want to say thank you for the presentation and all the work that you put into these three land potentially landmark uh sites.

So the pan was excused.

We have a few members of the public that I would like to testify of first.

I'm sorry, I'm not gonna pronounce this correctly.

Radville Meskavik.

Oh, you can take yeah.

Um, and then we have Pris Gakuska.

Oh, that's here.

Okay, and then we have uh Lama Nihalovich.

Awesome.

And then I'll make one more call for uh Radvale.

Radvale Realm.

Oh, they're coming.

Okay, great.

All right, we'll wait until everyone takes a seat.

So uh Jeff got some numbers.

Uh, yeah.

Uh just a reminder when before you speak, please press the button to have the microphone on.

We also have a time limit of two minutes that would be shown right here.

Um, and you may now begin.

Okay.

On behalf of the Lithuanian Alliance in New York, we extend our sincere gratitude for granting our building landmark status to New York City.

The designation recognizes far more than a physical structure.

It honors a vital cultural and community space that has long served as a second home for many.

For immigrants, dist for immigrants, distance from one's homeland often brings a deep sense of nostalgia.

Within the walls, our community has found a safe haven, a place where we preserve our heritage, foster creativity, and building meaning and build meaningful connections.

The LAA building is not only a hub for art and culture expressions, but also a space where traditions are sustained and shared with future generations.

The this achievement is also a testament to to the tireless dedication of countless volunteers and especially the leadership of this president, whose commitment has ensured the building's preservation and continued growth.

Their work inspires ongoing engagement, encouraging us to organize events, expand programming, and introduce Lithuanian culture to a broader New York community.

We look forward to building on this recognition by strengthening cultural ties, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring that this landmark continues to serve as a vibrant center for both Lithuanians and all New Yorkers for generations to come.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, members of the council of for being here.

And um, Guy Drosville Giedras Volgosgas, I'm from um Deputy Council General of Lithuania here in New York.

And on behalf on behalf of Consulate of Republic of Lithuania in New York, I would like to strongly support the application by the Lithuanian alliance to designate Lithuanian Alliance building as a New York City individual landmark.

The Lithuanian Alliance is the oldest continuously operating Lithuanian organization in the world.

It provides vital link with the United States at crucial historical junctures for Lithuania and remains a replaceable part of Lithuanian American history.

It sheltered first waves of Lithuanian immigrants in the late 19th century, promoted the cognition of newly established Lithuanian state in 1918, supported efforts to oppose Soviet occupation right until the 1990, and was a crucial pillar for the strengthening newly reestablished established Lithuania.

In the last couple of decades, the importance of alliance building grew beyond the roots in the Lithuanian American community.

Just as Lithuanian relations with the United States developed into a deep strategic alliance, the Lithuanian Alliance could building become a place from which our heritage issues to the city and the community.

Opening the arts space uh opening art space made alliance building accessible to all New Yorkers, and the arts team makes a consistent effort to involve local artists in today's programming.

Uh decision to designate alliance building as a New York City individual landmark would not just recognize architectural and cultural significance of the building, but would remain reaffirm New York's becoming welcoming, tolerant and multicultural character.

Thanks so much.

You may begin.

Dear Council members, thank you for having us here.

My testimony will be very short today.

Um today I'll represent the Lithuanian community.

I also work at the consulate and volunteer at Lithuanian Alliance Building.

And I'll be very short.

This is not a building for us, this is our second home, and would really appreciate if you could vote yes in our favor.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, and we appreciate you guys being here today.

Uh, this panel is now excused unless there's any questions, and I also want to acknowledge uh majority web uh council member Hanks.

Uh so you guys are good, thank you.
