pursuant to Section 197-c of the New York City Charter for the disposition of such property to a developer selected by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to facilitate development of a five-story building, with approximately 45 residential units to be developed under the Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Supportive Housing Loan Program (the "Disposition"), Community District 7, Borough of Manhattan (ULURP No. C 100453 HAM) (the "Application");
