FIGHT BACK (again) on February 16th in BROOKLYN: HPD tries to convince HDFC shareholders to give up control of their buildings, or else!
MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD on Thursday, February 16, 2017 6:30-8:30pm! Gather your neighbors! Rather than working directly with real HDFC shareholders to improve HDFCs (instead of with “non-profit” groups that are looking to make money year after year from “helping” our HDFCs but really want to keep us forever dependent on them), HPD will, yet again, try and convince HDFC shareholders that they would be better off giving up their property rights, and if HDFCs don’t agree, that it would be a good idea for the City to charge HDFCs full property taxes (while market rate co-ops get their tax abatement without restrictions). Also, HPD wants to reduce the value of HDFC apartments, after we have struggled for decades to rebuilding abandoned buildings that the City was more than happy to get rid of. 325 South 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211. Take the L train to Lorimer St. stop, or the G to Metropolitan Ave stop, or J, M, Z to Marcy Ave stop. Subway map here.

Great meeting with NYC Council Member Margaret Chin!
On February 2, 2017 the HDFC Coalition and local HDFC shareholders met with Council Member Chin to explain our decades of work and struggle to repair abandoned, dilapidated buildings and make them viable homes for our families and communities, and how we are steadfastly opposed to HPD’s recent proposal to take control of our buildings. We are very happy to report that CM Chin and her staff understand our concerns and are working to help us preserve our viability and independence. Can we all give a huge “THANK YOU” to Council Member Chin and her staff?
FIGHT BACK on January 31st: HPD tries again, in Bronx, to convince HDFC shareholders to give up control of their buildings, or else!
