ROOFTOP SHENANIGANS
ICYMI, a video of a man jumping along the mansard roof of 90 West Street was captured by film director Erik Ljung, who just happened to look out the window and catch the whole thing. It’s incredible. The Broadsheet got the backstory: “The aerialist is named Joseph Smizaski, and he is the director of operations for Rosenwach Tank, the firm that supplies and maintains the wooden cisterns that dot the rooftops of many Manhattan buildings. “This was not a husband catching me with his wife,” Mr. Smizaski laughingly told a group of reporters gathered on West Street on Thursday morning. “I was working, taking pictures of waterproofing we had previously done. I was on the roof to prepare for an upcoming inspection by the Department of Buildings.”
