@NYCCouncil just approved the City’s first ELURP application for 351 Powers Avenue in the Bronx, helping fast-track 84 affordable homes, including 30 homes for formerly homeless New Yorkers.
What once could’ve taken up to 7 months was completed in just 90 days.

As we learn more from emergency response efforts, my thoughts are with the victims of this horrible tragedy — including construction workers and tenants, including children — their loved ones, and the entire community affected by this building collapse.
I’m incredibly grateful for the quick and heroic actions of the workers on site and our first responders to help New Yorkers survive. Our administration is working tirelessly to continue rescue efforts and provide services to anybody who has been displaced.
As we conduct a comprehensive investigation, we will be doing everything in our power to hold everybody responsible for this disaster firmly accountable.

First responders are on the scene of a building collapse on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, where they are working quickly to secure the location and assist New Yorkers.
Flatbush Avenue is closed from Clarendon Road to Bedford Avenue – please avoid the area so rescue crews can work. We will be sharing what we learn as soon as we can confirm it.
As emergency operations continue, please join me in holding our neighbors and the members of this community in our hearts.

I joined @fdny and emergency crews at the scene of today's tragic building collapse on Flatbush Avenue. Two of our neighbors have lost their lives, and at least 17 others have been injured, including one firefighter.
My heart is with the families and loved ones mourning those we have lost. I am also wishing a full and speedy recovery to everyone who was injured.
This has been a whole-of-government response. I want to thank the first responders who arrived in under a minute and have spent hours working in dangerous and highly technical conditions to rescue New Yorkers. Their courage and dedication are extraordinary.
@nycemergencymgt and the @redcross have opened a reception center for impacted and displaced residents at the Flatbush YMCA, located at 1401 Flatbush Avenue.
If you are unable to reach someone you believe may have been affected by the collapse, please call 311. If you are outside New York City, call 212-639-9675.
Flatbush Avenue remains closed between Clarendon Road and Bedford Avenue. Please avoid the area so emergency crews can continue their work.
This remains an active operation, with hundreds of rescue workers on site. Information is changing by the minute. We will share additional updates as details are confirmed.

Rescue workers have spent the night searching the site of yesterday’s building collapse, working under extremely dangerous conditions to find and save anyone who may still be trapped.
I am heartbroken that eight New Yorkers have now lost their lives and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters.
There are no words for a loss of this magnitude. My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we have lost, those who are injured and everyone grieving today.
Rescue operations are ongoing. Please stay clear of the area and keep those affected, and our first responders risking their lives in these efforts, in your thoughts.
If you are unable to reach someone you believe may have been affected by the collapse, please call 311. If you are outside New York City, call 212-639-9675
Today, Commissioner Dina Levy joined @NYCMayor , Council Member @SandyforCouncil, tenants + advocates as COPA was signed into law. 🏠
The new law gives qualified community-based organizations a first chance to purchase certain at-risk buildings and preserve affordable housing.
NYC Housing retweeted
Today, the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA) was signed into law.
As landlords and corporations put profits over people, we need alternative models. Housing owned by tenants and communities is the path forward.
This was a long time coming—no thanks to the last mayor.

I’m thankful to everyone from @NYCCLI, @NewEconomyNYC, @NYCHousing that believed in the promise of this landmark legislation. COPA will preserve affordable housing and can help tenants escape the cycle of disrepair, speculation, and displacement. This is our win!
