Department Of Environmental Protection

Welcome to the Department of Environmental Protection, a local government office dedicated to serving the community of Brooklyn, New York. Located at 855 Remsen Avenue, we are committed to fostering a sustainable and healthy environment for all New Yorkers. Our office plays a pivotal role in executing citywide initiatives such as the "Money in Your Pocket" program, launched by Mayor Eric Adams to directly deliver benefits to residents and enhance the affordability of living in New York City.

We are engaged in various community-focused activities, including efforts to review city-owned lands for potential housing developments and supporting civil rights through historic settlements against housing discrimination. Our office collaborates with city agencies and leaders to address environmental and community welfare issues, ensuring a better quality of life for our residents.

We invite the community to explore resources available at our office, from accessing free Wi-Fi and digital skills training at public computer centers to managing child care, career, and business services. As part of our commitment to public service, we encourage you to visit our online public benefits screening and application tool to easily access the support you need.

Join us in celebrating the vibrancy of New York City, with numerous opportunities to make the most of your summer and beyond. For more information about our services and initiatives, please reach out to us or visit our office. Together, let's work towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all New Yorkers.
