Requires compliance with the city's uniform land use review procedure
This bill requires New York City's Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) to follow the city's uniform land use review procedure before selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of any land or buildings it owns. It directly affects HHC, which manages city-owned hospitals and health facilities, by mandating public review and city approval for property dispositions. The key provision replaces prior requirements (like board consent) with a standardized city review process for all such transactions, ensuring transparency and alignment with broader city planning rules.

MINOR
This bill was amended to clarify the legal requirements for the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation when disposing of real property. The revision removes a confusing bracketed deletion and explicitly mandates adherence to the city's uniform land use review procedure and applicable laws, including specific charter sections, ensuring a more transparent and legally robust process for property sales and leases.
Scope change
The bill's scope was refined to ensure strict compliance with existing city charter requirements rather than relying on a deleted provision that previously required board consent.
REQUIREMENT
Replaced a deleted requirement for board of estimate consent with a mandatory requirement to adhere to the city's uniform land use review procedure and applicable laws.
TECHNICAL
Removed bracketed text indicating a deleted provision regarding public hearings and board consent, streamlining the language to focus on procedural compliance.
