OCV’s recently completed project at Arverne View (formerly Ocean Village) in Queens, was featured as a case study for housing in NYC as outlined in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Housing New York, A Five-Borough, Ten-Year Plan. Utilizing water conservation methods and energy efficient systems, this project rectifies the problems of the past while making strides toward a safer future for New York’s valuable beach front housing stock. OCV worked together with Robin Key and L & M Development in remediating the damages of Hurricane Sandy at Arverne View. The beachfront housing complex in the Rockaways was severely damaged in the 2012 storm.
