In the first picture, maybe 42 Hudson(?), there was a brothel upstairs at one point. I used to walk to the deli downstairs to get my Sunday Times, and would see college age guys exiting the building doing a lot of tucking in of shirts... — Robert Ripps on Tribeca Then and Now: Hudson

Speaking of the police blotter, why doesn't it cover burglaries? I know they've been happening in Tribeca, but they're rarely listed in the Tribeca Trib police blotter. — KP on In the News: Park Row Reopened to Cyclists and Pedestrians

A different take on the NY Times article about Canal Street worth a read. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/new-york-times-chinatown-gentrification_us_5afee146e4b0463cdba146fe — Kacee on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

"clean, safe, beautiful". Of course. — JOR on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Something with project title "June" is about to shoot on Walker Street between Church and Broadway also...They're clearing the street of all parked vehicles. — Marcus on Seen & Heard: Four Shoots This Week

Problems for me, for example, and I am somewhere between lower and middle class economically, not one who can afford to shop at high-end stores and such. I just want our city streets to be clean, safe, beautiful, and advertising kept small and unobtrusive, sidewalks to be passable, noise, litter, vehicle pollution levels to be reduced, priority given to good public transit, etc. Perhaps that's too much to ask. Other cities (often in other countries) manage the task somehow, though. — Marcus on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

They were filming Ray Donovan on Reade St just west of W. Broadway on Friday — Preserve on Seen & Heard: Four Shoots This Week

You know what other streets that are unpassable because of the vendors hawking fake bags and the tourists buying them? Broadway in Soho, 6th Avenue and other surrounding side streets by midtown and Times Sq. But is anyone making a noise about it as much as the ones about Canal St., or is anyone making an excuse about how they need to be cleaned-up? This "cleaning-up" of Canal St. is just yet another ruse to push out the immigrants and turn that area for only the riches can enjoy. NYTimes and the real estate developers just want NYC to be a white Dubai. Enjoy the homogeneous city you guys want. — JOR on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Again, certain problems for whom? Problems to those who want Canal St to be upscale and luxurious , who want s to turn Canal St. into Short Hills, much like what Amanda Burden had done to other "problematic" neighborhoods. How much more J Crew or Brooks Brothers or Frenchettete type of restaurants or more luxury condos from Bloomberg;s godsend [dirty] [Russian] billionaires do you folks want? — JOR on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

Sonia is amazing. Photographic memory? How does she do it?!? — Will Meyerhofer on Where in Tribeca…?

Billions wrapped their season and doesn't start back up for a few months. Possible Productions is now Ray Donovan. (Both on Showtime so maybe it's the same Location Manager) Yes, Ray Donovan takes place in LA- but Liev has had them move the entire production to NYC to be closer to his kids. — JulieW on Seen & Heard: Four Shoots This Week

Not necessary to equate cleaning up certain problems of the street (noise, traffic, litter, graffiti, counterfeit vendors) with going "upscale" and "luxurious". Those can be desirable improvements for a neighborhood anywhere along the economic spectrum. — Marcus on What’s Really Happening to Canal Street

The Appellate Court was essentially bound here by its prior decision in Kuzmuch v 50 Murray. We'll see how it goes at the Court of Appeals: William T. West, et al., Plaintiffs-Respondents-Appellants, v B.C.R.E - 90 West Street, LLC, Defendant-Appellant-Respondent, Lee Rosen, Defendant. Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman, LLP, New York (Magda L. Cruz of counsel), for appellant-respondent. Himmelstein, McConnell, Gribben, Donoghue & Joseph LLP, New York (Serge Joseph of counsel), for respondents-appellants. Amended order, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert R. Reed, J.), entered on or about February 1, 2018, which, insofar as appealed from, denied defendant B.C.R.E. 90 West Street, LLC's motion for summary judgment declaring that plaintiffs' apartments are deregulated and not subject to rent stabilization, and granted plaintiffs' cross motion for summary judgment declaring that plaintiffs' leases are subject to rent stabilization, and so declared, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and it is declared that plaintiffs' apartments were properly deregulated. For the reasons stated in Kuzmich v 50 Murray St. Acquisition LLC (157 AD3d 556 [1st Dept 2018]), buildings receiving tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law § 421-g are subject to the luxury vacancy decontrol provisions of the Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 (Administrative Code of City of NY) § 26-504.2(a). The fact that the subject building additionally received low-interest mortgage financing from the New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) does not bar application of this luxury decontrol scheme. Defendant owner's regulatory agreement with HDC merely requires that all units in the building be "subject to Rent Stabilization . . . to the extent Rent Stabilization applies to such Units" (emphasis added). The language of Private Housing Finance Law § 654-d(18) is substantially similar to that of Real Property Take Law § 421-g and should be interpreted consistently therewith. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT. ENTERED: MAY 17, 2018 CLERK — James on In the News: Setback for Rent-Regulated Tenants
