LPC to Vote on First Avenue Estate!
The LPC is scheduled to vote on the First Avenue Estate hardship application!
Landmarks Commission Slams Landlord’s Hardship Application
Six-story tenement buildings 429 East 64th Street and 430 East 65th Street were landmarked in 1990 due to their social and historical significance as some of the first progressive affordable housing blocks, with windows in every room to make the small units more livable, but promptly had their landmark status
Hardship Public Meeting Time Announced!
The owners of the CITY & SUBURBAN HOMES FIRST AVENUE ESTATE continue to claim that they cannot make a profit on this property, and still seek to demolish two landmark buildings.
Thank you!
A special thanks to all our FRIENDS and colleagues who attended yesterday’s hardship application hearing at the Landmarks Preservation Commission!
