East New York was the first neighborhood in the mayor’s plan to create or preserve hundreds of thousands of affordable units throughout the five borough — a lynchpin of his 2013 campaign. 'It’s been a curse on our community,' says resident Albert Scott.
Neugebauer’s organization is nearing completion of, a 275-unit affordable housing complex on Atlantic Avenue. She expects the housing lottery — which the city uses to winnow down the applicant pool from hundreds of thousands of prospective tenants — for that building to open in the coming weeks. While 1,200 apartments have already been planned for specific lots across the rezoned area, Neugebauer said it’s become increasingly difficult for her group to plan for additional affordable development.
A 2016 analysis from the Association for Neighborhood and Housing Development Community found prices for vacant land shot up 266% in the rezoned area in the 18 months before and after de Blasio announced the East New York rezoning. That’s compared to a 64% rise in the rest of Brooklyn Community Board 5 which includes a broader swath of East New York and Starrett City. Neugebauer said that trend has continued in the years since.
