Council Member Dinowitz inquires about the construction data for different apartment sizes (studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, etc.) and expresses concerns about the predominance of smaller units in areas that might be more suitable for family-sized apartments.
- The Mayor's Management Report doesn't provide specific data on apartment sizes constructed
- Council Member Dinowitz notes that typically 70% of units are studio or 1-bedroom apartments
- There's a discussion about the need for more 2 and 3-bedroom apartments in certain areas, particularly near schools and playgrounds

I will have my office reach out.
1:22:11
I would love updates on that because that is a huge issue for a lot.
1:22:14
And I'll just one more quick question.
1:22:17
I'm I'm looking at the mayor's management report again.
1:22:21
I think only the people in this room talk about units Most people talk about apartments, one bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom.
1:22:28
I don't see listed here the date on how many Studio 1 Bedroom, Two Bedroom, Three Four, were constructed in the past in the fiscal year in the last fiscal year.
Adolfo Carrión Jr.
1:22:42
Yeah.
1:22:43
We can we can break that down for you.
1:22:46
We've got new construction, program starts.
1:22:49
Going back to 2014 up until today.
1:22:54
In in each of our programs, typical unit spread is well known.
1:23:03
But I think we can probably provide information to you.
1:23:06
Right.
Eric Dinowitz
1:23:06
Yeah.
1:23:06
The typical unit spread is, like, 70% studio 1 bedrooms.
1:23:10
In the past, you have said that one bedroom in the studios are flying off the shelves.
Adolfo Carrión Jr.
1:23:15
I said that.
Eric Dinowitz
1:23:16
You did.
1:23:17
You did.
1:23:17
Yeah.
1:23:17
But yeah.
1:23:18
But yeah.
Adolfo Carrión Jr.
1:23:19
Ones and twos.
1:23:19
Ones and twos.
Eric Dinowitz
1:23:20
Ones well, the so the construction of twos are very low.
1:23:24
We have not been or I have not been provided with the that survey data specific to local community boards.
1:23:30
Because as I mentioned, I have examples where we have buildings going up that are gonna be 70% studio 1 bedrooms going up right next to a school.
1:23:39
Across the street from a playground and down the block from a family shelter, which I think common sense would indicate.
1:23:46
That's the perfect area to have 2 and 3 bedroom apartments for families.
1:23:50
So if you would please share the district level survey data with me, I would appreciate that.
1:23:56
I will take No MORE TIME.
1:23:58
THANK YOU, CHAIR.
1:23:58
THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.
