"The developers who are proposing to build an affordable housing development over the Elizabeth Street Garden sued Mayor Eric Adams' administration on Wednesday to stop his bid to permanently dedicate the site as parkland. The case challenges the Adams administration's last-minute, unilateral attempt to stop future development at the site under incoming Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who had promised to advance the project."
"The lawsuit argues the move subverted the city's land use process entirely and illegally, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court. The lawsuit pushes forward a decade-plus struggle to build affordable housing for seniors in the site, and is aimed at clearing a path for Mamdani to make good on his pledge to proceed with the development."
Developers proposing the Haven Green affordable senior housing project sued Mayor Eric Adams' administration in Manhattan Supreme Court to block his attempt to permanently dedicate Elizabeth Street Garden as parkland. The complaint contends that the administration's last-minute, unilateral November proclamation by Louis Molina subverted the city's land-use process and was illegal. Plaintiffs Pennrose NY Developer LLC, Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County, and Riseboro Community Partnership seek to appeal the parkland designation and obtain an injunction to preserve the site for development. The suit aims to restore the land-use process, vindicate the rule of law, and protect the decade-plus housing effort.
