The council member does not receive a direct answer on the number of buildings corresponding to 360,000 rent-stabilized units.

  • The Department of Housing Preservation and Development does not have data at the building level readily available.
  • The deputy commissioner provides an approximation based on average and median building sizes from the past 15 years.
  • The average building size over the last 15 years is 31 units.
  • The median building size over the last 15 years is 42 units.

And do you have a sense of how many properties that corresponds to.

We don't actually have building level data today.
1:18:32
We had been focused on looking at this at a unit level of measurement for a long time, so it would take us a while to look at it to change that in terms of building.
1:18:41
So we'll have to get back to you on that.

I believe in y'all.
1:18:44
Believe in you.
1:18:47
Okay.

I mean, I think it's one way to think about it is that the his if if the future use is similar to past use.
1:18:58
The average building size in the last 15 years is 31 main units, and the median is 42.
1:19:04
So that gives maybe an approximate sense of the number of buildings that we're talking about.
Pierina Ana Sanchez
1:19:10
Yeah.
1:19:10
That's helpful.
1:19:11
Thank you.
