What the evidence establishes
CLAIM 01Phius’s project database lists November 7, 2024 design certification and March 6, 2026 final certification for Beach Green Dunes III.
Scope: Beach Green Dunes III, Far Rockaway, Queens · 2024-11-07 – 2026-03-06
Assessment: SUPPORTEDThe certifier’s actual database separates the two certification milestones. These dates are not silently equated with substantial completion, first occupancy or measured energy savings.
What is not established: No separate certificate document or revision history was inspected. The visible modeled energy fields do not establish achieved utility-bill reductions.
CLAIM 02HDC’s November 22, 2022 phase III financing plan specified 145 rentals plus one superintendent unit at 331 Beach 35th Street. The later AIA-hosted project submission describes 146 units and lists March 1, 2025 as substantial completion.
Scope: 331 Beach 35th Street, Far Rockaway, Queens · 2022-11-22 – 2025-03-01
Assessment: SUPPORTEDThe staff category is explicit in the original financing attachment. The later participant submission supplies a separate substantial-completion field; it does not establish that all 146 units are occupied resident rentals.
What is not established: The financing schedule is historical and the later completion field is participant supplied. No final certificate, tenant register or current staff-unit use was inspected.
CLAIM 03HDC’s December 20, 2017 release announced the opening of Beach Green Dunes with 100 affordable homes after fall construction completion; its February 19, 2020 release reported an opening celebration that day for the 127-home Beach Green Dunes II.
Scope: Edgemere/Far Rockaway, Queens · 2017-01-01 – 2020-02-19
Assessment: SUPPORTEDThe two original dated releases identify the phases and their announced scopes; HPD’s overview explicitly groups I and II as 227 created homes. The year start is a coarse bound for the reported fall-2017 milestone, not a construction event day.
What is not established: Exact first occupancy is unverified; the overview has no issue day and its oversized linked report was unreadable. Phase II anticipated certification does not prove certification at opening.
Limits and open questions
No separate certificate document or revision history was inspected. The visible modeled energy fields do not establish achieved utility-bill reductions.
The financing schedule is historical and the later completion field is participant supplied. No final certificate, tenant register or current staff-unit use was inspected.
Exact first occupancy is unverified; the overview has no issue day and its oversized linked report was unreadable. Phase II anticipated certification does not prove certification at opening.
The 2025 substantial-completion field and 2026 final certification are different source-defined milestones. Exact occupancy and the final staff-unit allocation are not established; no attained energy savings are asserted.
