Just spoke to Derek. He's gathering neighbors who want to transform this lot into a community growing space. He has a sketch already. Onwards!

A neighbor brought this lot to our attention (it wasn't in the City database!). Here is what we told them:

Wow - nice find! This lot belongs to the City of New York. We just added it to our website here: https://livinglotsnyc.org/lot/59305/
You can organize to have it transferred to the NYC Parks Department
Start by clicking ORGANIZE on the page.
Here is a sketch of what a campaign for transfer will looks like: https://livinglotsnyc.org/pathways/access-nyc-hpd-land/
