This Week's Guests: Manhattan Borough President - Mark Levine https://www.votemarklevine.com/ Episode 348 Mark Levine has been at the forefront of advocating for more affordable, equitable and healthy communities for nearly 25 years. He's a former bilingual math and science teacher in the South Bronx, and he founded the Neighborhood Trust Federal Credit Union, which today has made over $100 million of loans to local families and businesses in Northern Manhattan and the South Bronx. He served on the New York City Council for 8 years, including as Chair of the Committee on Parks, Chair of the Jewish Caucus, and Chair of the Committee on Health, where he brought his science-based and data driven approach to helping to lead the city out of the worst public health crisis in a century. He introduced and passed transformative tenants rights protections, including the first-in-the-nation Right to Counsel, which guarantees tenants at risk of eviction with legal representation if they cannot afford a lawyer. In 2022, Mark was elected Manhattan Borough President, where he led the fight to end our affordability crisis. He identified opportunities for tens of thousands of new units of housing, advocated for new policies that will help create badly needed affordable housing, and fought to protect tenants so they can stay in their homes. He has launched campaigns to plant a million more trees and deliver millions of dollars of low-interest loans to small businesses, and has pushed the city to improve our mental health system, ensure New Yorkers can travel quickly and safely on our streets, and prepare for climate change. Mark lives in Upper Manhattan with his wife and two kids, who are studying to be a nurse and EMT. In his free time, Mark spends time with his family and likes to study languages. He speaks Spanish and Hebrew fluently, and is studying Greek and French. "Rethink Production presents "Live From America Podcast" - a weekly show that combines political commentary with humor.

Julia Attaway has lived in upper Manhattan for nearly 30 years, the last five of which have been in Inwood. A freelance writer, editor, and marketer, she was actively involved in developing community events as she raised her five children. Four years ago, she accepted the position of Executive Director at St. Frances Cabrini Shrine. There she has community concerts, hosted community events, and – because Mother Cabrini is the patron saint of immigrants – done outreach to educate neighbors on immigration issues.The Shrine of St. Frances Cabrini houses the remains of Mother Cabrini, the patron saint of immigrants. This peaceful chapel overlooking the Hudson River is nestled right here in Northern Manhattan. The land was purchased by Mother Cabrini herself in 1899 to house a boarding school for upper-class girls, and she used the tuition to fund orphanages and free schools for the poor. The shrine continues today to be a sacred space to pray, rest and draw close to Jesus through the intercession of St. Frances Cabrini. www.cabrinishrinenyc.org

Stakeholders in a nascent program in NYC talk about their roles building formal pathways from high school programs to careers in the growing video game economy. Marc joins the gathering to celebrate one of partners' latest achievements in Harlem, a youth-driven exhibition that celebrates the role of video games in the lives of young people, challenging negative tropes about being an enemy to positive growth and development. Special thanks to Harlem School For The Arts, host and without whose support the exhibit would not be possible.Video Games: The Great Connector, explores how young people leverage video games in this pursuit, emphasizing less what games do to youth than what youth do with games. Special thanks to hosts of the event and exhibition, Harlem School of The Arts, without whose support the exhibit would not be possible.Gaming Pathways was founded by a city initiative from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment as a new way for high school students in Harlem, Northern Manhattan, and the South Bronx to get training, degrees, and eventually jobs in digital games. Gaming Pathways is guided by an Educational Advisory Board, which includes many of NYC's leading AAA and indie games companies.

We discuss the competitive landscape for brokerage in neighborhoods around Manhattan and the success of targeting smaller, more efficient areas like Northern Manhattan and submarkets in Brooklyn. We also delve into Neria's experience in acquisitions and how he uses rejection as an opportunity to grow. With an eye on Brooklyn and smaller value add deals, Neria believes there are discounts to be had with a bullish outlook on the market.  We also delve into Oren's personal story, including his experience negotiating his starting salary and the importance of understanding the principal of the company you work for.

The New York City multifamily sector saw a major resurgence in 2022 with $16 billion in total dollar volume for all multifamily properties (small buildings, buildings with 6-9 units and 10+ units) and $13.2 billion for buildings featuring 10 or more residential units. In this episode, Shimon Shkury, President and Founder of Ariel Property Advisors, and Founding Partner Victor Sozio discuss the findings in Ariel's recently released 2022 Multifamily Year in Review research report, which highlights sales of buildings with 10 or more units citywide and in Manhattan, Northern Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

For our 101st episode of On Air, we concluded that nothing could be more significant than to celebrate the podcast, itself, in reaching this milestone. We invite you to listen as we reflect on what has happened in the local cultural arts scene since we started this podcast, where we are now, and what might come next.  Inwood Art Works' On Air podcast has a duality to it. It is unique in that it is the only podcast that specifically profiles and features the artists that reside in Northern Manhattan and its surrounding community, and it also functions as a document of historical record; preserving the stories and personalities that are vital elements to creating the fabric that makes up our cultural canvas of our artistic landscape.  With that in mind, and true to the mission of the program, we present an exclusive recording of "The New World" - a jazz composition written and performed specifically for the On Air podcast by local composer, Rich Shemaria.

Southwest corner of Fort Washington and 187th outside the bus shelterWe're standing to the side of the busy southwest corner of Fort Washington and 187th outside the bus shelter. Behind us stood Brite Glo, a tiny store that sold everything from marzipan - the sweet almond confection so popular in Germany - to knee-high stockings.When you follow this corner building around to 187th Street you'll see a series of one-story storefronts, some with quirky roofs. This geographically unique area can seem like a tiny, elevated island, and the German Jews felt mostly safe here. However, 187th Street was also a popular destination for all Northern Manhattan, and sometimes different groups fought here. Crime grew in the 1960s, worsened in the 1970s, and the late 1980s brought the crack epidemic. The German Jews were frequent targets - they were quiet, mostly kept to themselves, and they were getting older. One neighbor tells the story about a particularly bad summer that began to go wrong right across Fort Washington Avenue.

181st & Fort Washington Ave, Northeast Corner near Fort Washington Collegiate ChurchWhat would you do if your country forced you out, to leave behind everything you loved? Where would you go?"Mendelssohn on the Hudson" is a historical musical walking tour about the refugees from Nazi Germany, who fled fascism, persecution, and violence in Europe to create new lives in Washington Heights - and transformed a neighborhood.Our tour takes you on a journey through the past by walking through the present. You can go at your own pace. You'll hear more about composer, artist, and conductor Felix Mendelssohn, as well as ten true stories set to his music, taken from oral histories of local residents who lived in "Frankfurt on the Hudson." Plus, you'll discover other local history, geography, and architecture unique to Northern Manhattan.

President of Ariel Property Advisors Shimon Shkury conducts a discussion with Director Mark Anderson and Associate Director James Nestor.Discussions among the speakers include a reflection on the activity seen in Northern Manhattan from the past 6 months and insight into what drove the trends. Also, the group spoke about their outlook on what is to come in the second half of 2021.

He has successfully fought to preserve affordable homeownership in New York City by protecting low-income coops. While chairing the Council's Parks Committee in his first term, Mark championed greater investment in our city's green spaces–securing tens of millions of dollars in funding for neglected parks in low-income neighborhoods. He has been a champion for improved bus service, more accessible subway stations, and streets which are safer for all–including pedestrians and bicyclists. Mark led revitalization of the City Council's Jewish Caucus as chair of the group in his first term, and is a leader in the fight against anti-Semitism. He passed legislation creating New York City's first-ever office for the prevention of hate crimes. At the start of his career, Mark taught bilingual math and science at Junior High School 149 in District 7 in the South Bronx. He went on to found Neighborhood Trust Federal Credit Union, a community development financial institution which has made $25 million in small loans to low-income families and small businesses in Northern Manhattan.

Take Away Quotes: “That report [Toxic Waste and Race] has been reconfirmed around this country in so many other research studies. That race is the primary predictor of where a toxic waste facility is and that income is the secondary predictor.” “People really want energy security. They want to feel that they can help reduce greenhouse gasses by using alternative energy sources but also secure their energy future by being able to have a little more autonomy over energy—how they use it and what kind of energy they use.” “We are working from the ground up, and we know that community organizing is essential but that you can’t really organize a community to be empowered and advocate on their own without information. So we have a…nine-week environmental health and leadership training program that we put all of our members through…We’re making sure that they are informed about air pollution, water quality, children’s environmental health, toxics, climate change, energy, the whole host of issues that evolve to have importance at varying times in communities.” Resources: https://islandpress.org/urban-resilience-project (Island Press Urban Resilience Project) https://www.weact.org/ (WE ACT For Environmental Justice) http://meetingoftheminds.org/people-power-residents-northern-manhattan-creating-energy-revolution-17596 (People Power: How Residents of Northern Manhattan are Creating an Energy Revolution) Download the Island Press APP!
