After a Manhattan real estate company botched renovation work on the foundation of a 200-year-old, historically landmarked Greenwich Village house, the city ordered immediate demolition to prevent its collapse.
The neighborhood blowback has been swift. On Monday evening, neighbors, historical preservationists and electeds rallied outside the building, at 14 Gay Street, to condemn both the building’s owner and gaps in the city’s oversight over fragile historical buildings.
“We expect the Department of Buildings not to just give a violation, but to follow up on it. For years, there have been complaints, there have been violations issued and no action that holds people accountable,” said Lower Manhattan Assemblymember Deborah Glick.
Electeds and advocates demanded that the city audit and meaningful reform the DOB and Landmarks Preservation Committee systems for monitoring conditions and work on historical buildings, which they say allows owners to neglect the buildings to the point where they are demolished by the DOB as “safety hazards.”
