••• Olarte Foussard, “a multiline showroom specializing in European ready to wear and accessories,” has moved its showroom—which seems to be called Circolo—from 359 Broadway to 60 Walker.

I’m pretty sure that even if Con Ed has a variance for after hours work they are required to use noise barriers/housing for the jackhammer at 8pm.

Noise code states that once a work site receives noise complaints they have to employ more noise mitigation barriers.
