Mangin’s BSA Nomination Sparks Council Pushback | Real Estate News
Description
The Mayor’s pushing to appoint John Mangin, housing chief and key architect of New York’s pro-affordable-housing ballot measures, to lead the powerful Board of Standards and Appeals — a move sparking fierce backlash from skeptical City Council members who cite his pro-development record and past criticism of wealthy homeowners. While the administration insists Mangin is essential to accelerating equitable housing, Council figures like Nantasha Williams and Kevin Riley are pushing back over his controversial writings. With new charter powers giving the BSA unprecedented speed and authority to approve affordable housing, the administration is betting the Council will eventually concede — even as tensions rise over who gets to shape the city’s future.
