REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about May 10, 2019 the City of Pittsburgh will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to release federal funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended for a real estate project. The project consists of stabilizing and remediating the former Larimer School located at 540 Larimer Avenue in the Larimer neighborhood of the City of Pittsburgh. The Larimer neighborhood is a recipient of a federal Choice Neighborhood Initiative grant.
The proposed reuse of the school building is 35 residential units and an adjoining commercial space(s). The scope of the stabilization is to allow the entire property to maintain structural stability and weather tightness until the building can be developed. This work includes but, is not limited to replacing areas of the roofs, other roof repairs, parapet repair, masonry repair, selective demolition, protecting existing windows and doors. The scope of the remediation includes but, is not limited to the removal of asbestos, lead-based paint and other hazardous materials.
The federal funding sources of the proposed activities include Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Grant funds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh’s Moving to Work funds. The projected project cost is $2.7M.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Pittsburgh has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at 200 Ross Street, 2ND Floor Pittsburgh, Pa. 15219 and may be examined or copied weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Pittsburgh certifies to HUD that William Peduto in his capacity as Mayor, City of Pittsburgh, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the Urban Redevelopment Authority to use development funds.
