NOSY NEIGHBOR
“Could you inquire what’s going on with the rooftop addition at 11 Sixth Ave.? A lot of the neighbors are unsure if it’s legal or not.” —Anonymous The answer to that question is here, but it raised another one: The owner has neglected to mention to CB1 or neighbors that the plans include outdoor seating on the roof and live performance on the ground floor. UPDATE: While the first post was accurate, the follow-up one was not. Please read this correction for an explanation.
