Activities

Community Boards, including CB7, are local governmental entities that provide neighborhood-level services under the New York City Charter. They play key advisory roles in land use and zoning matters and the city budget and coordinate the delivery of municipal services. CB7 also acts as a bridge between the Upper West Side and the City’s other governmental entities, advocating for and developing policy recommendations from the grassroots level.{{Cite web |title=What We Do – Brooklyn Community Board 10 |url=https://cbbrooklyn.cityofnewyork.us/cb10/about/what-we-do/ |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=cbbrooklyn.cityofnewyork.us}}
