Proposed Action:

Statutory authority:

Subject:
Petition for waiver of the requirements of Opinion No. 76-17 and 16 NYCRR Part 96 regarding individual metering of living units.
Purpose:
To consider the petition of Comunilife Woodhull HDFC for waiver of Opinion No. 76-17 and 16 NYCRR Part 96.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering the petition by Comunilife Woodhull HDFC for waiver of the individual metering requirements contained in Opinion No. 76-17 and 16 NYCRR Part 96 at Woodhull Residence, located on the campus of Woodhull Hospital at 179 Throop Avenue, Brooklyn, New York (Woodhull Residence) and in the service territory of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison).
The residence contains 54 studio units of supportive housing for patients of the hospital who have behavioral health issues, are eligible for discharge, but do not have permanent housing. According to the petitioner, the residential building is designed to support individuals with medical, mental health, and physical disabilities, particularly patients of Woodhull Hospital, whose psychiatric team will refer prospective tenants. An additional 35 living units are available to persons whose income is at or below 60 percent of the area median income, with preference given to certain applicants with disabilities.
By seeking authority to not submeter the individual living units at Woodhull Residence, Comunilife Woodhull HDFC requests authorization to take electric service from Con Edison and unmetered electricity would be provided to tenants.
