Harlem TODAY: HDFC Resource Center Community Launch

You are invited to a community forum with a panel of experts at The Forum at Columbia University (601 West 125th Street) on June 21 at 6:30 pm that will explain the latest laws impacting HDFCs such as Local Law 97 and their vigorous requirements. Learn the best ways to prepare your building under new laws, and what can be done to protect shareholder equity and property rights by planning for the future.

The panel will include representatives from the legal, financial and government sectors all with deep knowledge of the HDFC housing community.

The focus of the 90 minute panel will generally cover the following topics.

The state of HDFCs and the legislative wrangle concerning their future including proposed legislation that may have an impact in the near and long term.

The importance of a comprehensive review of governing documents and policies for HDFC Boards.

The requirements for (LL97) Prescriptive Energy Conservation Measures and the need for smaller buildings to consider options for future energy conservation measures.

The run up to expiration of DAMP tax exemptions (2029) and its varied implications.

Financial options and tactics to address upgrades, repairs and emergencies.

HDFCs are at a very critical juncture in their history and are a vital component of the rapidly diminishing affordable housing stock in New York. As challenges continue to arise it is imperative that we work together and overcome differences of opinion to advocate for additional resources and protections for residents of HDFCs city-wide. Our hope is this community forum in West Harlem will be a jumpstart for that work.
