City approves zoning variance for New York Methodist expansion in Park Slope
The city’s Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) unanimously approved on Tuesday New York Methodist Hospital’s application for a zoning variance for a controversial expansion in Park Slope.
NY Methodist spokesperson Lyn S. Hill said the hospital was “most gratified by the unanimous decision.”
“For nearly a year, the Hospital has worked with our community to advance this project, which will enhance outpatient healthcare for Brooklyn residents, and we have incorporated numerous suggestions and revisions as a result of community input,” she said.
She added, “We are especially grateful for the help and support of our elected officials, particularly City Councilmember Brad Lander and Community Board 6, chaired by Daniel Kummer. We look forward to continued engagement with the community as we move forward to complete the exterior design and begin construction.”
