Council Member Avilés raises concerns about trash management in new housing developments and asks if the proposal addresses this issue. Chair Daniel Garodnick explains the changes being made to address these concerns.
- Avilés points out that many buildings lack proper trash management facilities
- The proposal includes changes to building bonuses, shifting from amenity space to useful space
- New bonuses will be given for trash reception areas and other necessary spaces in buildings
- The change aims to address core needs of buildings rather than just internal amenities

I feel like it's potentially more of the same, but I'm interested to see In terms of oh, in terms of building more housing everywhere, what what I have seen the city not do is take into account the needs of that housing, particularly trash management.
4:20:17
Right?
4:20:19
Right now with all of the changes around how we are trying to deal with our trash.
4:20:24
We have buildings that were never built with places to hold trash.
4:20:28
So now they're just collecting on sidewalks all over the place.
4:20:32
Or is there anything in the proposal that also provides guidance around when you build a building, you actually have to make sure you have these kinds of elements within the building because it's out of control.
Daniel Garodnick
4:20:45
Yes.
4:20:45
We we are changing as part of this proposal what was a bonus for amenity space in buildings to a bonus for useful space like trash reception and other spaces that are needed in a building, so as to, you know, move away from sort of the just a bonus for internal amenities, but also at core needs of a building.
4:21:16
So we are making that change here.
