Eligibility Criteria

  • Private Property: Private properties are eligible for this funding. This includes public property that is non-City owned, such as property owned by public universities or state and federal agencies. This also includes City-owned properties that have long-term leases with private entities with ten (10) or more years remaining on the lease.
  • Minimum Property Size: Private properties must have at least 50,000 square feet of site-level impervious area, such as large parking lots or courtyards.
  • Drainage Area: Private properties where stormwater drains to either the City’s combined or separate sewers are eligible for the program.
  • Legal and Maintenance Obligations: The property owner must sign a Programmatic Agreement and an Inspection and Maintenance Agreement, which both cover the same 5-year term. During this 5-year term, the property owner must maintain the installed green infrastructure practice, beginning after the construction end date.

How it works: Step by Step

  1. Assessment. We will first conduct a desktop analysis. If your property meets the eligibility criteria, we will then schedule a site visit with you to better understand your property.
  2. Planning & Review. We will develop detailed plans tailored to your property for your review. Together, we will refine and finalize your project.
  3. Scheduling & Approvals. We will work with you to make a construction plan and obtain permits.
  4. Construction. We will build it! Construction typically lasts 4–6 weeks. Contact us at info@resilientpartners.nyc to start the process.

Did You Know?

  • More than 70% of NYC is covered in impervious surface. Stormwater from these areas can cause street flooding and overwhelm the sewer system.
  • Managing stormwater on site can reduce flooding and improve the health of local waterways.

What is Green Infrastructure?

Green Infrastructure refers to cost-effective, sustainable strategies that manage stormwater where it falls, through natural processes such as infiltration and evapotranspiration. Examples include: rain gardens, infiltration basins, green or blue roofs, permeable paving, subsurface detention systems, and cisterns.
