Andrew Cuomo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/03\/27\/cuomo-to-suspend-non-essential-construction-amid-coronavirus\/\">ongoing PAUSE order<\/a>, developers have opted to halt 28 such projects citywide, according to the city\u2019s Department of Housing Preservation and Development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt that in this environment it was better to err on the side of caution,\u201d L+M Development Partners CEO Ron Moelis told The Post of his decision two weeks ago to halt his company\u2019s seven current construction projects set to yield more than 1,600 rent-regulated units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though there are ways to keep these sites safe, I erred on the side of not putting [workers] at greater health risk, especially as we\u2019re in the peak of this. We\u2019re operating in an unknown environment. We\u2019re trying to do the right thing,\u201d he said of L+M, one of the city\u2019s major affordable-housing developers.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the company\u2019s projects set to house low-income and formerly homeless New Yorkers in East Harlem and East New York were nearing completion before the-pandemic hit New York but will now be delayed, said Moelis, adding it\u2019s tough to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/03\/18\/coronavirus-in-nyc-construction-workers-keep-building-even-if-sick\/\">balance worker safety<\/a> with the city\u2019s deep need for low-income housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that there\u2019s a right answer in this situation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The 100-unit Linwood Apartments in East New York will house 30 formerly homeless New Yorkers as well as 70 low-income households, while the East Harlem site will soon have 400 rental apartments for people making at-or-below the New York Metropolitan Area\u2019s median income.<br \/>\nHe also said it\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019d opt to start L+M\u2019s projects back up in short order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe earliest I could see is the end of the month, and that\u2019s optimistic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The construction halt comes after Gov. Cuomo on March 27 put a temporary stop to the building of market-rate housing, as well as hotels, while deeming emergency repairs, some infrastructure projects, and housing developments with at least 20 percent of the building dedicated to affordable housing \u201cessential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, developers are not required to keep building \u201cessential\u201d projects, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need for affordable housing is critical, and that need will be even greater on the other side of this pandemic,\u201d said city housing department spokesman Jeremy House. \u201cDevelopers of essential affordable housing are allowed to continue construction if they choose, but only if they can ensure the safety of construction workers and the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the other developers that have chosen to temporarily stop construction are Greenland Forrest City Partners, which is building Pacific Park in Brooklyn, and TF Cornerstone, the developer of Hunter\u2019s Point South, spokespeople confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The controversial Pacific Park project is expected to yield 2,250 total below-market-rate apartments over the next five years. TF Cornerstone\u2019s Long Island City waterfront project will have more than 700 such homes once it\u2019s completed.<\/p>\n<p>Councilman Brad Lander, who was among the leading voices calling on the state to shut down \u201cnon-essential\u201d construction, said building low-cost rental apartments will be particularly important in the coming months as the city grapples with an economic downturn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to bring more affordable housing units online quickly,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that should be a high priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that while ideally every planned low-cost apartment will be completed soon, \u201cyou\u2019ve got to be safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The majority of affordable-housing developments where ground broke on the construction sites before the coronavirus pandemic have continued on. As of April 3, there were 327 \u201cessential\u201d residential projects still being worked on, non-profit news site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecity.nyc\/2020\/04\/03\/affordable-housing-transit-projects-plow-on-in-coronavirus-pause\/\">The City reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Moses Gates, a housing guru at the Regional Plan Association think tank, said that the ramifications of halting housing construction are minimal \u2014 as long as the break doesn\u2019t last more than a few months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPausing construction for a month or two is not going to hugely affect the construction timelines and viability of the developments,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are some issues you need to work out with the contractor, the financing, and the city, but nothing that should be that difficult to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you have to pause a construction site for a year, it starts to become more difficult to restart afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of affordable apartments in limbo as \u2018essential\u2019 construction shuts down Construction workers at a site in Manhattan earlier this month.
