Council Member Kevin C. Riley seeks clarification on the rules for converting buildings to residential use. Chair Daniel Garodnick provides details on the current and proposed regulations.

Currently, only buildings built before 1961 (or 1977 in Lower Manhattan) can be converted to residential
The proposal aims to change the cutoff date to 1991
This change would expand the number of buildings eligible for conversion to residential use

Commissioner, before I go to the next council member, just wanted to clarify something you stated.

Only buildings prior to 1990 can be converted to residential.

Correct?

Yes.

It's a silly question.

Today today, your building had to have been built before in 1961 or here in Lower Manhattan 1977, we are proposing to change that date to 1991.
