From Community Board 1…. My comments are indented on the line below.

6/8 Landmarks & Preservation Committee – 6:00 PM 
Location: Community Board 1 – Conference Room, 1 Centre Street, Room 2202A-North
1) 265 Water Street, application for installation of vertical platform lift for handicap accessibility – Resolution
2) 50 Hudson Street, application for enlargement of penthouse – Resolution

That’s the building with the J. Crew Ludlow Shop and Bar Cyrk on the ground floor. The penthouse is already visible from across Hudson and (less so) on Thomas Street.

3) 293 Church Street, application for installation of barrier free access ramp at existing storefront and addition of stair and elevator bulkheads at roof – Resolution

It’s a shame they can’t repair the cornice. UPDATE: I heard from someone working on the restoration of the building, and he wondered what I was talking about, seeing as how the cornice “is beautifully restored and in good condition. If you are referring to the opening on the left by the fire escape is just that, an opening. It is the access to the roof through the fire escape. It was built this way.” I responded that my assumption was that the cornice originally ran the width of the building, and that at some later date, a hole was cut into it to allow the fire escape to reach the roof. He said he’d look into it. If anyone else has historical photos of the building, do share. (And, yes, the building is looking really good!)

4) 41 Worth Street, application for replacement of storefront – Resolution

Good! That wonderful building got butchered at some point.

So I guess WeWork also has gyms (that need liquor licenses?). A WeWork Wellness mission statement via Business Insider: “In other gyms, everyone is working on themselves, and that manifests in an environment that can be intimidating and isolation (think: powerlifters with headphones). At 85 Broad, we believe that charting your own path to fulfillment and motivating for holistic health go hand-in-hand with ‘affiliation’ (social bonds).”

9) 55 Liberty, application for liquor license for AinsFiDi, LLC – Resolution

Increasingly mysterious, given that the contents were auctioned off last week.
