City Rejects Latest Proposal for Rooftop Additions on the Puck Building
 Last week the Landmarks Preservation Commission rejected – for the second time – the proposal to add two large additions to the roof of the Puck Building. At the original public hearing on this application back in September, the Commission had agreed with GVSHP’s testimony that the proposed rooftop additions would be too visible from the street and would overwhelm this beloved and iconic landmark. The applicant presented a revised proposal at last week’s public meeting, but it too was turned down. The Commission has asked the applicant to make further changes to decrease the visibility of the additions, and will vote on the next iteration of the proposal at a future public meeting.
