I share the deep sadness at seeing this building and others like it leave the neighborhood, but to be clear, the hotel that "wants an extra floor or two on the roof" DID destabilize the building next to it… and from what I saw in the CB meeting, still hasn’t made them whole on the damages. So yes, it IS a "big effing deal" — M on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

We've seen this before. They tear down a gorgeous old beauty from the 19th century. They leave a hole in the ground. That hole in the ground destabilizes neighboring structures. Someone sues. That hole in the ground becomes the new normal for a decade or two while they sue each other. Nothing happens. Meanwhile, the hotel that wants an extra floor or two on the roof (big effing deal...) so they can stay in business - no way. Then they tear down another 19th century beauty...and leave another hole in the ground. Somehow, this is supposed to make sense. — Will on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

Restoring and repairing 80 Warren to its pre-hotel status is a minimum. But what no one is mentioning is the impact these additional floors will have on our neighborhood. Adding meeting space, screening rooms and gym amenities to this hotel will inevitably equal additional F&B and laundry deliveries to an already disruptive scene. Not to mention the additional trash generated too. As it is truck deliveries to the Warren Street Hotel are non stop and at all hours of the am&pm, 7 days a week. Additionally, the increased Uber and car service traffic and double-parking will further compound the congestion to our neighborhood. The developer’s lack of due diligence and the Hotel’s financial viability should not fall on shoulders of this community nor should they be rewarded with a variance. — Fritz on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

I have not updated the restaurant guide in years. Sorry! And Eulalie has a lease. — Tribeca Citizen on Seen & Heard: Shred-A-Thon coming up

Fascinating history on Staple Street! Thanks for sharing! — Matthew G on Nosy Neighbor: What is going on at Staple and Harrison?

One more thing… We should be thinking of all the employees that would be put out of work should it go out of business. — Hank on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

I agree that the hotel should make its neighbors whole and repair the damages. Having said that, it is a bright and colorful addition to the neighborhood, and it would be tragic to see it go away. We don’t need another empty building that could go years without being occupied, while slowly deteriorating into an eyesore that no one wants. — Hank on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

I know the Greenmarket has clothing recycling but where is the clothing bin in Tribeca? Also I noticed on the Restaurant Guide that Batard is listed in the old Montrachet space but Batard was replaced by Eulalie a few years ago and I believe the building has been sold and Eulalie will have to close. Too bad as both Batard and Eulalie were fabulous restaurants! — Rose on Seen & Heard: Shred-A-Thon coming up

It would be cool if they could incorporate the "College Place" stone street marker in the facade of the new construction. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Erasing the 19th Century brick by brick

This is idiotic at best a homeless shelter should never be next to an elementary school. This was previously voted down and I could see the emergency usage, but that's in the past the mayor is going beyond his authority yet again. New York does not need a demigo. It's ironic he acts just like trump but from a mirror image on the left side of the aisle. I hope to god that he's a one term mayor. — john criscitiello on An update on two Downtown shelters

The ferry situation at the Battery has always been sort of infuriating. It's not so much the flow of people, which is part of living in New York, but the security and fencing, which took up a lot of waterfront even before this rebuild, not to mention having to hear the robotic announcements coming from the ferries ad nauseam. I'm hoping it's better once more of the waterfront rebuild is complete, but I'm by nature pessimistic when it comes to security theater downtown. What are the ownership/lease situations with The View restaurant, or Pier A, to move security there and out of tents? Just idle speculation on my part. And I guess this is neither here nor there re: Citi, but it still bugs me that when they renovated and moved into the HQ, they only replaced the façade on the lower part of the building, matching the height of the annex. The upper part looks so tired and the building is incoherent. BofA isn't even headquartered here and they built a proper purpose-built building, not to mention what Chase was planning, and what we all knew Amex would end up doing. — malcolm on In the News: Citigroup to cut jobs at HQ

I made a mistake. You are correct. — Robert moezinia on The details on 65 Franklin at Broadway

Good! Stupidity and greed shouldn't be rewarded. I never see anyone in there when I walk by. I wonder how long before it closes. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on Warren Street Hotel plans for expansion rejected by CB1

They bought development rights from *356* Broadway. — Tribeca Citizen on The details on 65 Franklin at Broadway

365 Broadway is not landmarked and thus could not sell its air rights across the street, from a non-contiguous parcel. The Cast Iron Building (361 Broadway) across the street is landmarked and so it could sell its air rights to a non-contiguous parcel. See Sections 74-79 and 75-42 of the NYC Zoning Resolution for Transfers of Development Rights From Landmark Sites. — James Bogardus on The details on 65 Franklin at Broadway

Information in this article is not correct. They never got development rights from 365 broadway. — Robert moezinia on The details on 65 Franklin at Broadway

Thank you Gary Post. 385 Greenwich aka 71 North Moore our our 3 full floor lofts since 1982. We brought the coffee warehouses up to residential code. Our lifesavings are invested in these gorgeous little landmarks. We saved from two major fires and our damage from adjacent property fromGreenwich Hotel and an illegal bar. Our lofts were illegally vacated over an “accident” and fire at Smith & Mills. The premises have been tied up on courts since 2007 where there are no time limits to restore us based on fraud. They bribed a city marshal to illegally vacate our lofts. The Supreme Court had jurisdiction after kids in a 199 sq ft illegal bar sued us. In a lawsuit asking the Supreme Court to grant them our 5,500 sq ft lofts with a story that belongs in the movie. We won! 50 inspectors, marshals & property owners were arrested in Precinct 1. District Attorney Cyrus Vance lied nobody was illegally displaced. We have looked to sort this out. We cannot sort out civilly. This is criminal. We don’t feel we can remain silent. In a pattern of fraud that extends to 46 landmark & loft buildings over the rebuilding of lower Manhttan. City illegally vacated, evacuated and or demolished based on fraud. It puts our neighbors homes & businesses at risk in the massive Soho Rezoning. — The Neighbor on The Smith & Mills and Yves building has sold

The NYC Department of Finance and all the property tax maps and property tax bills call it "North Moore Street" all spelled out. — James Bogardus on A TC Style Change: Officially North Moore

Agree. If it’s true that Mamdani and Julie Menin are bring back year round outdoor dining ( some cafés and restaurants never stopped) they might have to consult with Eric Adam’s to deal with the rat problem again! — R. on An update on two Downtown shelters

If I had a child at Peck Slip School, I would be furious beyond belief. To see the city prioritizing the homeless over children's safety at that school is an utter embarrassment. In fact, everyone attached to this decsion should be embarassed. — William on An update on two Downtown shelters
