Open Space

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION (DPR)

In Progress

Tappen Park's Village Hall building is a historic landmark that was built in 1889 and first
operated as the home of the Village of Edgewater's municipal and civic activities. Now vacant
and in a state of disrepair, the building most recently housed municipal offices and a health
clinic. The City commits $5.7 million to repair the building's roof and transfer jurisdiction of the
structure to NYC Parks. Once repair work is complete, NYC Parks intends to activate the building
with a concession, programming space and public restrooms.

Design start FY 2020; construction two years after design completion

The Village Hall roof reconstruction project was completed in May 2025. RFEI responses for a creative use of the space are currently being reviewed and will inform a potential future RFP for a concession.

OENS responds to 311 calls, Housing Court requests, and building referrals by community groups and elected officials by sending inspectors to see if building conditions violate the City's Housing Maintenance Code. As part of HPD's focus on East Harlem, and in response to recommendations from the community, OENS prioritized "block sweeps" throughout the neighborhood. Through this initiative, HPD identified buildings and blocks with maintenance or other housing-related issues. HPD will continue monitoring the properties surveyed during this initiative, and will continue accepting building referrals from the community for additional surveying.

In June 2017, HPD released updated ELLA and Mix and Match programs to allow for deeper affordability and greater flexibility in affordability levels that buildings can serve. Because rents in Downtown Far Rockaway do not currently support the creation of 100% market rate housing, we expect owners of private sites seeking to engage in residential development to approach the City for financing. When approached by private owners, the City will utilize its term sheets to incentivize the maximum number of affordable units at a range of income levels, including extremely-low, low and moderate income households.

2017-ongoing

Currently HPD is working with a developer on the first phase of a planned multi-phase affordable housing development that will be up to two 100% affordable buildings. The project will be financed under either the ELLA or Mix and Match programs. The first phase is expected to bring approximately 450 affordable units, along with new commercial space and public open space to the heart of Downtown Far Rockaway.

The bulkhead and waterfront platform will be repaired/replaced and a new park constructed on top. The community has joined The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR)to design the new park, which is anticipated to include bicycle and pedestrian paths, play and picnic areas, landscaping, and other recreational amenities.
