Summary
This bill would require the Mayor or a designated agency to conduct a feasibility study, in cooperation with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), regarding the temporary use of vacant commercial space at NYCHA developments by businesses owned by public housing residents. The study would need to be completed by July 1, 2027, and examine factors including the availability of vacant commercial space, appropriate temporary occupancy periods, and potential liabilities for NYCHA and the City. The study would also need to include recommendations for implementing a program to use vacant NYCHA space for resident-owned businesses.
