“Knickerbocker Village will use its $1.46 million to finance Phase I of repairs to help undo the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.

Hurricane Sandy was a turning point for how we must think about protecting our tenants and our housing stock in the face of severe weather events. It’s fitting that we memorialize this storm by moving forward and rebuilding better, smarter and stronger than before,” said Department of Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas.
