Guidelines on Submitting Public Comments

Use the form below to submit public comments online.

If you wish to submit a letter instead, it should be addressed to the Board Chair and clearly identify the application's calendar number, property address and scheduled hearing date. Letters should include a completed Form for Objection or Support and follow the instructions on the form for submission to the Board

Community Boards and Elected Officials

Community Board recommendations should be completed on the Community Board Recommendation form. Elected officials can submit their testimony and/or recommendations via email or mail pursuant to the instructions on the Form for Objection or Support.

Applicants and Opposing Parties

If parties opposed to an application are organized under representation/counsel, a schedule for submissions by the applicant and a response by opposition is often established by the Board Chair at the end of a public hearing, pursuant to the policy described below.

In order to ensure a predictable and timely review of an application, submissions will not be accepted after the date established by the Chair. Effective January 1, 2018, failure by the applicant to submit a complete submission by the stated submission date will result in the automatic adjournment of that calendar item to a date to be determined by the Board. Download the policy. Any requests for adjustments to the schedule must be made prior to the submission date and sent in a letter via email to the Board's Executive Director and the project manager. Contact the Board office at 212-386-0009 with any questions.
