Register of Community Board Budget Requests

This dataset reports each of the projects and programs requested by the City’s 59 community boards. The Register is the charter mandated product of a dynamic and cyclical budget process for the 59 community boards. The community boards consult with agencies on the capital and expense needs of the district. After consulting, each community board develops and votes separate priorities for up to 40 capital and 25 expense budget requests which the agencies review and respond to in the Register of Community Board Requests for the Preliminary Budget in January. The Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) reviews these same budget requests and updates the responses for the Executive and Adopted Budgets. This dataset is updated three times per year after publication of the Preliminary, Executive and Adopted Budget, usually in January, April and June respectively.

Request
Renovate or upgrade a middle or intermediate school
Explanation
For the past four or five years, the bathrooms at P.S. 105 have been in poor condition and need to be replaced, the fourth floor boys and girls bathrooms in particular. The wall tiles are falling off in some locations, and the urinals are easily broken. We appreciate the City's ability to accommodate part of this request in the past. More is needed however. Last year's response from the City was "Unable to prioritize funding for this project request at this time." Please help us understand why this is the case.

OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Unable to prioritize funding for this project request at this time.

Request

Explanation
Community Board 11 is requesting the construction of Bassett Avenue from McDonald Street to Pelham Parkway. This portion of Bassett Avenue is a mapped yet unpaved street. The reason we are requesting this is because there is a need to alleviate traffic congestion in the vicinity; and there will be an even greater need in the near future. Opening Bassett Avenue will go a long way toward allowing easier access to Pelham Parkway and alleviating traffic congestion on Eastchester Road and Stillwell Avenue.
Response
Further study by the agency of this request is needed.

Request
Provide a new or expand an existing middle/intermediate school
Explanation
For the past seven years CEC11 has been owed 3,000+ middle school seats. Our communities in CB11 desperately need a separate middle school or a vertical extension of PS108 building that currently goes to 5th grade only, to be extended to 8th grade. Currently PS481 The Steambridge School can accommodate two classrooms each to 8th grade by reworking its present layout. Its previous school in this building was St. Dominic R.C. School built in 1952 and had Kindergarten through 8th grade with two classrooms to each grade. Presently, there are property sites available.

Increase funding for SYEP and look to end the yearly budget dance. Base line the increases so that those participating in the program can build upon their programs to offer better outcomes and services for our youth. We should look to models used in other City's like Philadelphia and work with the private sector to offer more meaningful summer jobs to youth. Use the SYEP program as the doorway to internships that would otherwise not be available to those of us that do not have someone advocating on their behalf. Offer multi-year placements so that our youth have an opportunity to grow with one particular employer. End the lottery system to make sure that once a youth enters the SYEP program they can stay in it. Incentivize the hiring of youth similar to what SBS does.

Request
Upgrade of Buildings
Explanation
Community Board 12 is an incredible resource to the community at large. We are fortunate to be a building that has an open space. For the last several years CB12 has poured money into upgrading our technology and facilities. We still require more funding to upgrade our windows and lighting in the Carriage House. We are also asking for DCAS to make the Carriage House a Public Assembly space with the proper DOB permits.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: DCAS Real Estate Services has not received a Space Request Form from the Community Board.  A completed form is required in order for DCAS to begin to initiate a new project review.  The CB should contact DCAS Real Estate Services, Fabiana Meacham at FabMeacham@dcas.nyc.gov for information on completing a Space Request Form

Request
Increase in Help in Noise Complaints
Explanation
Community Board 12 requests that the NYPD equip each patrol vehicle with a sound meter to better facitilate noise complaints. It is our understanding that usually there is only one sound meter assigned to each precinct. Additionally it is often calibrated and cannot be used during this lengthy process. Finally, we understand that each officer should be trained to handle these meters to respond to 311 complaints.
Response
OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Each Patrol Borough possesses an adequate number of sound level meters along with training personnel in their use. The NYPD has newer sound level meters which measure ambient bass to enforce updated noise laws (July 2007). The Department will continue to purchase and replace sound level meters as necessary.

Request
Increase Security in different Housing
Explanation
Provide funding for cameras throughout Edenwald, Boston Secor, Baychester, NYCHA Developments in order to deter crime. Crime in our N.Y.C.H.A. Housing Developments persists as a major problem and concern. The installation of cameras has only partially taken place in some projects. A complete monitoring system must be installed in each of our N.Y.C.H.A. Developments for the safety of the tenants. It is our understanding that the monies for these projects were allocated. We would like a detailed explanation on when NYCHA plans on getting these cameras installed. The monies were allocated several budget cycles in the past. We want to ensure that these monies are not redirected to other projects.
Response
It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your Elected Officials.

Increase Funding for PEP Officers
Explanation
Request: Provide Funding for Additional PEP Officers or Transfer money to the NYPD so that they take the roll of the PEP Officers in all NYC Parks. Explanation: Additional PEP officers are needed to patrol our parks and playgrounds. Vandalism has increased and there is a need for additional PEP officers to patrol the parks.

We request that the Department hire more officers in order to protect our parks and their patrons.

Renovate or upgrade an elementary school
Explanation
Funding for the placement of critical air circulation and conditioning system in PS1 located at 335 East 152nd Street, the Courtlandt School. Community Board 1 is within the most profound asthma corridor of our City. We voice our concerns about the current conditions for learning in all of our schools. However, in PS1 the air quality and circulation is extremely poor. Its over heated conditions are not conducive for learning and is having an adverse impact on the learning environment for our children. We advocate for the allocation of Capital funding for construction of an air condition system within the school.

Reconstruct or upgrade a building in a park
Explanation
WNYC Transmitter Park is a very well-used open space on our waterfront. A comfort station is greatly needed on the site to accommodate the many users, including children, their families, parks department gardeners and maintenance staff. Friends of NYC Transmitter Park Steering committee supports this request, as they work with NYC Parks to plan a phased revitalization of the historic WPA (Work Progress Administration 1935). In addition to the priority of the installation of a community comfort station, they are working to secure maintenance and operational funds for the upkeep of this facility. They make reference to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander's report, Discomfort Stations, The Conditions and Availability of NYC Parks Bathrooms, confirming the need for comfort stations for all parks.

Explanation
Funding for the further development of Bushwick Inlet Park (including construction/expansion of the park itself; and the remediation of the Bayside Fuel Oil site and the CitiStorage site).

The acquisition of the parcels have moved forward and mayoral funding was secured in the fall of 2021 for the demolition of the building and future park development. The remediation of the Bayside site to happen in the future is the next step needed in making the park a true reality.
