Four rezonings across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island cleared the subcommittee on a single 8-0 motion, headlined by 1460-1480 Sheridan Boulevard's ~900 affordable units. The real story was the public hearing on 703 Myrtle Avenue: a 54-apartment, eight-story mixed-use building from a family that has operated on the block for 40 years. Council Member Restler pressed on family-sized units, energy resilience after repeated Con Ed outages, and his standing preference for MIH Option 1 over the applicant's Option 2 , and won a promise to memorialize the commitments.
