A new Upper West Side Zoning resolution intended to limit the size of store frontage that a single tenant can occupy. REBNY has worked with the Department of City Planning on behalf of the business community and real estate owners to improve the resolution and avoid negative economic consequences. REBNY believes that the below modifications to the proposed zoning change along with the Department of City Planning's commitments to limit the applicability to the Upper West Side are responsive to many of the issues raised by business and property owners. REBNY appreciate the responsiveness of Chair Amanda Burden and her staff at DCP to work cooperatively to mitigate the proposal's adverse impact. We will continue to work with City Planning and the City Council as this proposal is refined.

We are pleased to announce that today the Bloomberg Administration through the Department of Buildings published the final administrative rule pertaining to the training and licensing of Class A and Class B crane operators. This rule change will modernize the system by moving to a national crane certification. The rule requires a minimum of 3 years of experience with at least 1 of those years required in New York City or a minimum of 10 years of experience with at least 7 years in a comparable dense urban environment.
The REBNY membership has been a leader on this proposal, and without our continued efforts and advocacy, this proposal may not have passed, or may have been modified until rendered ineffective. When fully implemented, this new system will lead to a safe environment for construction workers and New York City. Although this proposal was clearly the right thing to do, it was a met with a great deal of opposition by those who are adverse to change. I am proud that we continue to be an organization that champions innovation and is at the forefront of sensible reform.

What is the Real Estate Board of New York
The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) was created in 1896 as the
first real estate trade association in the state. Real Estate
Board members are New York City’s most talented, energetic
and influential real estate professionals. REBNY works on behalf of
its members to promote public and industry policies and frequently
speaks before government bodies to, among other things, expand
New York’s economy, encourage the development and renovation
of commercial and residential real property, enhance the city’s
appeal to investors and residents and facilitate property management.
In addition, the Board conducts various real estate professional
education programs including state-certified required courses
for licensing,
real estate continuing education courses and free New York City real estate seminars to help members
hone their professional skills. REBNY also undertakes a wide
variety of research projects studying the current residential
and commercial conditions within the city and maintains the
largest collection of real-estate related information of any
city trade association in its Seymour B. Durst library, located
at REBNY’s office in mid-town.
