Lenox Hill Hospital Application Enters ULURP Pre-Certification

January 6th, 2025

DCP has informed our office that Lenox Hill's application has been pre-certified. That means we can expect a certified application to be referred out to CB8 sometime after February 3, 2025 (a certified application starts the clock on ULURP, read more about ULURP here).

An important piece of caution -- this does not mean we will absolutely receive the certified application on February 3rd.
