Variance hearing for 122 Greenwich Avenue set for October 17

The developers of 122 Greenwich Avenue, the undulating glass apartment building planned for the corner of Greenwich Avenue, 13th Street, and 8th Avenue, will appear before the Board of Standards and Appeals on October 17th to request a variance to allow them to make the planned development slightly larger and taller than the zoning for the site allows. GVSHP opposed the design for the building as woefully inappropriate for the Greenwich Village Historic District (CLICK HERE for testimony), and has opposed the variance as an inappropriate increase in the size and height of an unwanted design, lacking in any rationale or justification.

HOW TO HELP:

  • WRITE TO THE BOARD OF STANDARDS AND APPEALS URGING THEM TO REJECT THE VARIANCE; CLICK HERE for sample letters you can use.
  • TESTIFY AT THE BSA HEARING ON OCTOBER 17. The hearing is at the BSA hearing room, 40 Rector Street (btw. West and Washington Streets), 6th fl. Because the item is #21 out of 22 on the agenda, the hearing time is only estimated at 3 P.M. or later. CLICK HERE for sample letters you can use as sample testimony. If you plan to attend, please e-mail us to let us know.
