CB6 adds provision for Parkway Hospital in F.H. owners to hire union labor
BY MARK HALLUM
MHALLUM@CNGLOCAL.COM
Community Board 6 has added a
provision to its recommendation
to approve a variance for the
owners of Parkway Hospital — which
has sat vacant at 70-35 113th St. in Forest
Hills for about a decade — as long as
they agree to hire union staff .
The advisory board recommended
the City Planning commission allow
Jasper Venture Group to turn the derelict
structure into aff ordable senior
housing in November, but aims to
ensure the staff receives decent wages.
The vote for the union labor provision
came at the Dec. 12 meeting.
The company shifting trajectory
toward accommodating seniors comes
with the blessing of City Councilwoman
Karen Koslowitz, according to her
Michael Cohen, her communications
director.
“This city and especially Koslowitz’s
district are in dire need of aff ordable
senior housing and Councilwoman
Koslowitz saw this opportunity to
do something about and has worked
with the developer for two years now
to obtain aff ordable senior housing
units,” Cohen said.
Jasper Venture Group acquired the
hospital in 2013 and aft er an unsuccessful
attempt to sell the property,
the group opted instead for converting
property to 350 market rate, aff ordable
housing, senior housing units.
City Planning will hold a hearing on
the proposal on Dec. 19 and will come
to a decision over the course of the
next two months, Cohen said.
The property over the years has fallen
into disrepair, oft en seen covered
in graffi ti, but is conveniently located
near Grand Central Parkway near
P.S. 196.
