"Community boards are appointed groups that advise on land use and zoning issues, budget and service delivery within their district, and take neighborhood complaints."
"Board members are selected and appointed by the five NYC borough presidents, with input from each district's City Council member, rather than being elected by local residents."

This structure has been in place since the 1975 City Charter, yet many residents remain unaware of how these boards function and their impact on community quality of life.
