Montgomery / Wright Responds to Homeowner’s Cries

For years central Brooklyn homeowners have complained about illegal actions of unscrupulous developers damaging their adjoining properties.

Thanks to State Senator Velmanette Montgomery and Assemblymember Tremaine Wright, help is on the way.

The Construction Notification Bill (S4519-A / A5823-B), which passed in the state legislature, will require the New York City Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) to provide written notification to adjoining property owners when an application for approval of construction is submitted to NYC DOB.

“This is such a win for New York City residents and especially homeowners in our districts. As our neighborhoods change, we have seen a major increase in construction and homes are being gut-renovated and flipped every day,” said State Senator Velmanette Montgomery. “I am so happy to sponsor legislation that will provide some transparency to this process.”
