New York City is moving forward with its plans to demolish the longtime health center located at 1727 Amsterdam Avenue between West 145th and 146th streets.
According to Patch.com, the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation recently terminated its lease with multiple healthcare provider tenants of the building, and is now suing to remove them.
The lawsuits are part of the process to redevelop the lot from a 50,000-square-foot medical center into a reportedly much-reduced and more expensive health center as part of a 200-unit affordable housing development. The new medical center would just be one part of the nine-story, 180,000-square-foot building.
The article reports that many New Yorkers may lose key mental health services, and the new building won't be ready until spring 2026 at the earliest.
