Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
Uh, dealing with issues of, of staffing, uh, training, so it really depends on the agency.
Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
Uh, HPD have, have their looking of the delivery of the lottery system.
Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
So each agency really speaks to, um, their core issues and then looks forward about how they're going to be doing those services.
Laura StylezHOST
Okay.
7 MINS LATER
Laura StylezHOST
Correct.
Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
And so we have Block by Block, which talks about an ambitious plan to build housing, also the preservation of housing.
Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
And to your question, in the racial equity plan, we have agencies like HPD, Department of Buildings, that talk about how we look at both the creation and the preservation of housing in a way that is equitable, that looks at issues of home ownership and what the access there looks like for communities of color.
Afua Atta-MensahGUEST
So this is also part of this, this larger plan of understanding it's no one button that we're gonna push.
Mark LevineGUEST
Well, we, we, we have a severe housing shortage in New York City.
Mark LevineGUEST
The housing department just put out an analysis estimating a 700,000 unit shortfall, and the goal would be to build that out in the next 10 years.
Mark LevineGUEST
It is very, gonna be very difficult.
Mark LevineGUEST
It is possible if we really push the envelope on this.
Chris RattiHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mark LevineGUEST
And the, the process for getting approval adds so much to the cost and timeline, and the number of agencies you have to deal with and the delays.
Mark LevineGUEST
Uh, and we have affordable housing projects where they've got the property and the zoning is set, and they've got the developer, and then they have to get approval from the housing department, HPD, for, uh, to get their loan documents and term sheets and all that.
Mark LevineGUEST
And that can add another year easy.
Steve UyeharaHOST
What you'll learn and how to sign up coming up.
Grace LeeHOST
Yeah, and a first for HPD.
Grace LeeHOST
Why this arrest right here marked a new way of doing things for police on Oahu.
Grace LeeHOST
But first.
Seth GlasserHOST
'Cause you're basically handcuffed, and you're not a slumlord.
Seth GlasserHOST
You wanna do the right thing, and then the city basically puts you in a position where you can't escape this characteristic because they're just gonna go raid the buildings and put DOB and HPD on you, and all of a sudden you got 100 violations on the building.
Seth GlasserHOST
And now because you're littered with violations, now you're categorized as a slumlord, so you're a bad person.
Paul CarassoneGUEST
Right.
Jude BernardGUEST
Like, um, there's a lot of rules and regulations, um, that the city, the city pretty much comes down and tells you what you can do, what you can't do.
Jude BernardGUEST
Um, the HPD Hous- the, the, um, Housing Preservation Department tells you all the things you can and can't do with your SRO.
Jude BernardGUEST
Um, it initially, the, the SRO program was initially a program for, for like the, the, um, the dudes who came back from war.
Rashad BilalHOST
Okay.
Janae PierreHOST
Mm-hmm.
Brad GreenburgGUEST
What I'll say about data when you look at it this way is some of that might be, um, what Darlene alluded to earlier, where the tenants who live in smaller properties are afraid to call HPD, a- afraid to call 311 and have an inspector come out because they're living in an illegal unit, so you'll have fewer violations.
Brad GreenburgGUEST
Um, some of the explanation for some of the eviction filing differences could be because you have informal evictions or other ways of getting tenants out in those units, and you can't file for a formal eviction.
Brad GreenburgGUEST
So the data's always a little imperfect.
