Opponents of UWS Project Protest Last-Minute Construction Approval
(DNAINFO) Emily Frost — Parents and tenants renewed their call Thursday for more transparency and better safety measures regarding the construction of a controversial luxury development set to sit atop an existing building and next to a school.
The Department of Buildings issued Kaled Management four permits for its construction of a 10-story addition on top of its six-story 711 West End Ave. apartment building Monday.
The granting of the permits came just a day before a sweeping landmarking of the avenue that would have derailed the project. Additions to landmarked buildings have to get approval by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and are not permitted “as of right.”
