***WEATHER ADVISORY***

DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS ADVISES PROPERTY OWNERS, CONTRACTORS, & CRANE OPERATORS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES DURING SEVERE WEATHER

The New York City area may experience severe weather including heavy rain and high winds with potential wind gusts of up to 40 MPH, starting 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, with high winds continuing until Tuesday, March 12. Accordingly, DOB is reminding all builders, contractors, crane operators, and property owners to secure their construction sites, buildings, and equipment.

The Department will be performing random spot-check inspections of construction sites around the city. If sites are not secured, the Department will take immediate enforcement action -- issuing violations and Stop Work Orders, where necessary.
Winds may reach higher speeds and last longer than forecast in certain areas of the city. Property owners must consider the safety of their buildings and construction sites, including cranes, suspended and supported scaffolding, hoists, and any other building appurtenances that may come loose from exposure to high winds. Structures that have been subject to deferred maintenance or are in delicate condition could be at greater risk. The Department suggests consulting a professional to advise how to secure construction sites and buildings.
To safeguard construction sites, builders, contractors, and developers should take all precautionary measures including but not limited to the following:
• Tie down and secure material and loose debris at construction sites.
• Cover electrical equipment from exposure to the weather.
• Store loose tools, oil cans, and extra fuses in a toolbox.
• Secure netting, scaffolding, and sidewalk sheds.
• Suspend crane operations and secure crane equipment when wind speeds reach 30 mph or greater.
• Suspend hoist operations and secure exterior hoists when wind speeds reach 35 mph or greater, unless manufacturer specifications state otherwise.
• Brace and secure construction fences.
• Call 911 if there is an emergency on a construction site.
Buildings Bulletin 2015-029 outlines the requirements for vertical netting, debris netting and material-fall protection devices at buildings and construction sites.
To secure a building, property owners should take all precautionary measures including but not limited to the following:
• Bring inside loose, lightweight objects such as lawn furniture, potted plants, garbage cans, garden tools, and toys.
• Anchor objects that would be unsafe outside, such as gas grills or propane tanks.
• Close up and secure patio umbrellas.
• Secure retractable awnings.
• Remove aerial antennas and satellite television dishes.
• Take down tents or follow manufacturer’s instructions to secure them.
• Check to ensure all gutters, roof drains, and down spouts are cleared of debris to allow for proper drainage.
New Yorkers are encouraged to call 311 to report non-compliant conditions or 911 to report emergencies at construction sites or buildings. New Yorkers who suspect a building or property has been structurally compromised should call 911.
Under §28-301.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, property owners are legally obligated to maintain their properties in a safe condition.

Department weather advisories are strictly a courtesy to remind property owners to prepare their properties for severe weather and cannot be read to suggest that the Department, rather than the property owner, is responsible for maintaining his or her property.

KMA is delighted to be a part of this exciting affordable housing project with THINK Architecture & Design PLLC and located at 97 Glenmore Avenue in Brooklyn. We are eagerly anticipating the successful completion of this construction project.

Construction is now underway at 97 Glenmore Avenue, the site of a forthcoming affordable housing development in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The building will debut as Glenmore Manor led by private real estate company Brisa Builders Development, non-profit community developer African American Planning Commission Inc., and affordable housing owner-developer Lemle & Wolff Companies.

The consortium of developers is known as Glenmore Managers LLC and received support from community partners Central Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation, We Run Brownsville, Fusion East, and Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union.

Think! Architecture and Design served as architect of record.

When complete, Glenmore Manor will contain 232 affordable housing units reserved for families earning up to 80 percent area median income. A portion of the units will also be designated for formerly homeless families and low-income seniors.

Total project costs are estimated at $175 million.

Renderings from Think! Architecture depict a two-story glass enclosure at the corner of the property where a new community facility and commercial space known as The B’Ville Hub will take shape. Elsewhere, the façade will comprise colorful teal panels, a punched window system with gold accents, and white cladding above the ninth floor.

The tenth floor is stepped back from the building’s edge to make room for a rooftop garden and a solar array. The project team has not announced what other amenities will be provided to tenants.

The B’Ville Hub will comprise around 20,000 square feet and include spaces for the Central Brooklyn Economic Development Corp, Brooklyn Coop Credit Union, a new asian fusion restaurant, a salon, esthetician training space, and a public radio station.

“Glenmore Manor and the B’Ville HUB offer a unique opportunity for community growth in exponential ways,” said Ericka Keller, managing member of Brisa Builders. “There could only be fantastic benefits to the community in reference to quality housing and economic empowerment through the various opportunities for entrepreneurship that the HUB will offer.”

Glenmore Manor is the latest project to debut as a result of The Brownsville Plan, a city initiative to modify zoning maps and density allowances to spur the development of more than 2,500 affordable housing units, commercial space, community facilities, and enhanced public outdoor space.

“Not only will Glenmore Manor provide high-quality housing to those in need, it will be a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation,” said HPD commissioner Adolfo Carrión Jr. “For over a year, we worked directly with residents to create The Brownsville Plan to create over 2,500 new affordable homes and bring vital public resources to Brownsville. It’s exciting to see that plan put into motion through projects like this one.”

The plan represents a collaboration across several government offices including New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the Department of Transportation, and Housing Development Corporation.

Honoring the Brave: Remembering Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day, we gather as a company to remember and honor the courageous men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. We express our deepest gratitude for their selflessness and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms.

As we pause to reflect on the brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen who fought valiantly, embodying the values that define our nation, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the families and loved ones who have lost their heroes, standing in solidarity with them.

Let us unite in remembrance as we gather with our loved ones for barbecues, picnics, and other festivities. Let us remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. It is a day of remembrance and reflection, a time to pay tribute to those who have served and fallen while defending our nation's ideals.
