The complaint filed on behalf of the SoHo Alliance and Broadway Residents Coalition was returned for correction, the state Supreme Court in Manhattan said.
The SoHo/NoHo rezoning would encompass the area bound by Lafayette Street and the Bowery to the east, Sixth Avenue and West Broadway to the west, Canal Street to the south and Houston Street and Astor Place to the north. It would bring as many as 3,200 new housing units to the neighborhood, including 800 affordable units, and give cultural organizations and local businesses more flexibility, the de Blasio administration said.
The mayor s renewed push to move forward with the rezoning quickly attracted support from the real estate industry and community resistance. Village Preservation, a local neighborhood preservation group, recently came out with a report arguing that the rezoning would make the area more expensive, whiter and richer, but the city and multiple real estate experts criticized the report as misleading.
