Bracetti Plaza, or Mariana Bracetti Plaza, is a public housing development built and maintained by the New York City Housing Authority in Alphabet City, a section of the East Village neighborhood on Manhattan's Lower East Side.[3][4][5][6] The development is named after Mariana Bracetti (1825–1903), a legendary Puerto Rican woman who was known as the "Arms of Gold", and who was the first to craft the Boriquas Latin Cross, Puerto Rico's first flag.[3] The flag was designed by Dr. Ramon Emeterio Betances, and is still a symbol of the Puerto Rican independence movement.[3]
Bracetti Plaza is a seven-story building on grounds measuring 1.02 acres (4,100 m2), at 251 East 3rd Street, or 290 East 4th Street.[3] The development has 108 apartments housing approximately 312 people.[3] The block it sits in is bordered by Avenue B to the west, Avenue C to the east, East 3rd Street to the south, and East 4th Street to the north.[3][6]
Bracetti Plaza was completed on May 31, 1974.[3] It is serviced by the New York City Police Department's Ninth Precinct, and is governed by Manhattan Community Board 3.[6][7] As of 2010, no one is serving as the Resident Association President for Bracetti Plaza.[8] If someone were, he or she would be a member of the Manhattan South District Citywide Council of Presidents.[8]
