Oops, I meant 234 of course! — SW on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

Speaking of sidewalk sheds, has anyone heard any news about the one at PS 134? — SW on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

R: I don't really understand your comment. It sounds like the building does not currently have any residential units. So the development, in addition to retaining the historic façade, is adding 100 residential units, 25 of which will be "affordable" (however that is defined). Going from zero affordable units to 25 is not an improvement in terms of affordable housing? If you think that the only satisfactory development is one that provides 100% affordable housing, don't look to the private sector to do that. It's just not a financially viable option in most, if not all, cases. — SW on Low-rise corner of Canal and Broadway will be preserved and developed

re :abandoned sheds are covered by DOT. here is the process as i understand it . first step is file a complaint with 311( complaints from multiple people are helpful or even multiple complaints by the same person. better) it takes at least 3months for the DOT to process the paper work for the owner to remove the shed or bring it to current code. If the shed is deemed truly abandoned(e.g. restaurant out of biz) then eventually the DOT comes with a huge crew( carpenter, electricians, etc.) to remove the shed and then the DOT has to store the remains for a certain length of time - i think bc it is deemed private property. it took 6 months + to have an abandoned shed, aka the" rat motel "removed at 181 Duane — Madeline Lanciani on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

Improvement doesn’t necessarily come in the form of a 13 story building with 75% unaffordable housing. — R. on Low-rise corner of Canal and Broadway will be preserved and developed

Regarding scaffolding. Yes the one at 401 Broadway has been on and off for years and no work in sight until 2022. It created shelter for fake bag sellers, toilets for dogs and human, clogging the sidewalk... The one at 47 Walker has been there for at least a decade and no work going on. Regarding sheds, Covid rules might be lifted, illegal dining sheds are not going anywhere, pretty soon they would be ‘grandfathered in’. Belle Rêve, Anejo, Antique Garage, Macau on Church are all big time transgressors, Belle Rêve cleverly built the extension on the sidewalk that looks like it’s part of the building, they have a shed on the street as well. Which city agency is accountable for all this again? — R. on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

I'm happy 125 G has funding to finally finish the building. It looks gorgeous and having an unfinished building just sitting there doesn't help the neighborhood. I do wonder how the Holiday Inn Migrant hotel and proposed shelter on Washington will impact sales. — Bernice on In the News: A super tall marches on

Actually Barnes & Noble are ADDING more stores across the country with an increase of patrons to the store. Don’t count on this store closing. — NY’r on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

Yes!! Get all those toddlers on scooters off the sidewalks! — Jean H. on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

Disappointing news. I wish they’d fill these big spaces (even the palm space) with an indoor play space for children. — MFS on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

They should put a Trader Joe’s there! — BB on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

I shop at a bed bath and beyond/buybuy baby 1x a week at least. Now they closed 3 bbb near me and and the only buybuy baby its new closing,IM SOO UPSET! My fav stores — Chelle on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

I’ll take your word but as a journalist, it is unbelievable that you didn’t take into consideration the demographics of DC and Harlem when making that statement. — Kim on New Kid on the Block: Titsou Bar

I played here once and it was a vibe! — Salvo L. on Seen & Heard: Take to the water

Phyllida Barlow at City Hall Park! Excellent. — Heide Fasnacht on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

I'd feel like a vulture at close out sales. So I avoid them. And their fellow that committed suicide, jumping out of a high-rise. So sad...never ever dreamed two years ago it would ever go out of business. It's been bad all around since the last election. — LaNell N. Naples on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

Hi tribecacitizen.com administrator, Keep sharing your knowledge! — Hugh Corner on There is a solution for abandoned dining sheds

These sheds are not a result of living in an old city. Paris is much older and in many places denser than New York. And while there are plenty of buildings shrouded by scaffolds in that city, one also sees WORK happening at each and every scaffold location without exception. Not so here by a long shot. One at Broadway and Leonard has been there for 23 years. But of course the DOB site lies and says it’s far less than that. Why? Because the scaffold now replaces the one previous (with ZERO work done to facade) because that one rusted and rotted to the point of needing to be replaced! The number of the sheds in Paris and other cities is kept to a reasonable number and the city isn’t mocked by visitors and locals alike for defacing its best streets and buildings with green monsters. — OK on Seen & Heard: No escape from the sidewalk sheds

B & N a ghost town too. Wonder what replaces the two stores. — David Alan on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

It breaks my heart that this wonderful place has closed. Participating in their special needs program on Saturday mornings was a treasured time with my autistic daughter just a few years ago. I’m so grateful for the wonderful people from this museum. I wish they never had to close. There are no other spaces like this in Lower Manhattan. — Arelis Sierra on Children’s Museum of the Arts has closed permanently

I never had a dog until recently ( I’m 64) so I didn’t understand. Dogs are as much a part of the family as anyone else. If you have never had a dog you honestly cannot understand and it seems ridiculous. I now take my dog everywhere with me and rarely go to places that don’t permit them. I hope this helps you to understand why they are there. Of course they must be well behaved and properly leashed :) — SW on First Impressions: The Tin Building

what are they going to put now when this store closes like where are people going to buy — Vrion Noeri on Bed Bath & Beyond will close in the coming weeks

Very cool. Thanks for posting. — SW on The sturgeon are coming
