Notification of Statement of Support
Dear Neighbor,

Over the past two years, the Burnside-Jerome-Tremont (BJT) BID Steering Committee, comprised of Property Owners, Merchants, Residents, and Community Boards 4 & 5, have worked diligently towards forming a Business Improvement District (BID) in the BJT commercial corridor. We are seeking your support in this initiative to enhance cleanliness, safety, beautification, and business support in our community.

BIDs are public-private partnerships where property owners fund supplemental services through an annual assessment collected by the Department of Finance, where 100% of the funds collected is returned to the BID. The proposed services of the BJT BID are:

*By Law, City Services cannot be reduced because of BID
- Cleaning and Sanitation
- Public Safety
- District Marketing and Events
- Advocacy
BJT District Boundaries
- Burnside Avenue: East of Osborne Pl. to west of Valentine Ave.
- University Avenue: South of Burnside to south of 179th Street.
- Jerome Avenue: North of 175th Street to south of 183ʳᵈ Street.
- Tremont Avenue: East Davidson Avenue to the west of Anthony Avenue.
- 183rd Street: East of Aqueduct Avenue to west of Grand Concourse.
The Annual BJT BID Budget
The Annual BJT BID Budget: The BJT Steering Committee proposes a maximum annual assessment budget of $742,104 to fund the BID services. If adopted, the Board of Directors will determine the annual assessment budget, and it could be set lower. However, it cannot exceed the maximum.
Annual BID Assessment
The Steering Committee voted on a formula to equitably assess each property within the proposed BJT BID. Each property will be assessed based on the front footage (FF: length of a property facing the street/sidewalk) of the property. Additionally, any property located on a corner(s) will be assessed as a corner fee.

Class	Description	Assessment Method	Corner Fee	Annual Assessment
Class A	Commercial/ Mixed-use/Vacant properties	~43 per front footage (FF)*	$750 per corner	= FF length x $43 + $750 (if applicable)
Class B	Residential-only buildings	Flat rate of $1.00 annually
Class D	Government and Non-Profit	Exempt from BID assessment
