Developer Coordinator Pilot Program Launches in Brooklyn
The recent and numerous changes in regulations and policy has certainly led to project delays and left many Developers scratching their heads.
Fortunately, the Mayor’s office has launched a pilot program – in Brooklyn only – designed to provide a forum to resolve policy and conflicts among the City agencies that cause delays. The program recently launched, and is led by a Development Coordinator who will interview applicants and try to resolve conflicts between agencies.
The following example has been provided:
An architect could seek assistance from the Development Coordinator because a project site contains a fire hydrant, tree, sidewalk vault, and utility pole which make it impossible to comply with builder’s pavement plan requirements. Or, a developer could seek assistance for a waterfront development where multiple agencies have offered conflicting interpretations of regulations. In each instance, the developer, contractor or other licensed professional is “stuck” and needs interagency coordination to get a resolution.
To submit your project for consideration, complete the questionnaire found here.
