  • What: order 26-109754, a request by Attorney Aldo Cipriano for owner Mark Evangelista (spellings uncertain) to release the low-income deed restriction on unit 4, building 1, at 64 Village Drive.
  • Where it stands: Urban Affairs endorsed the release 4-0 on 2026-05-27 and sent it to the solicitor for proper language.
  • Update: reported to the council on 2026-06-08 and laid on the table at the petitioner's request; the release in proper legal form (from the assistant city solicitor) was approved 10-0 on 2026-06-22.
  • Next: nothing further in the record.

Background

  • The age-restricted subdivision had two units carrying an affordable deed restriction.
  • The state housing agency does not count age-restricted housing as affordable, so the restriction serves no purpose.
  • The first unit was released on the same reasoning (committee report of May 6, 2024).
  • The current owner inherited the unit and cannot sell until it is released.

Discussion

  • Councilor Ducette supported it as unavoidable.
  • Councilor Vital, whose ward includes the subdivision, said neighbors he spoke with were in favor.
  • The chair said none of the other age-restricted special permits had an affordable component.

Discussion time

About 6 minutes across 3 meetings (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
