New York City officials addressed growing concerns over the controversial Harlem affordable housing project at 1727 Amsterdam Avenue after residents filed a lawsuit claiming the development could reduce access to healthcare services. The mayor defended the project, saying affordable housing is essential to keeping Black New Yorkers in the city while promising continued community engagement.
During the same press conference, city officials also announced an extension of the deadline for homeowners to appeal the new property tax surcharge on secondary homes worth more than $5 million. Officials say the extension will allow affected residents more time to review assessments and submit appeals before the tax is finalized.
Watch the full remarks as NYC leaders discuss affordable housing, Harlem development, healthcare concerns, and the latest updates on the city's new property tax policy.
