@OsseChi @crystalrhudson help?

[Friends of 920 Park @920parkfriends]

Action needed! Please call 311 to report illegal construction happening at 920 Park Place. According to our research, a permit was issued to a scaffolding company to erect a fence only. Clearly, there is more happening here—

Here is the permit:

🚨IMPORTANT: Flood the LPC…Again 🚨
The developers are presenting a revised design to the Landmarks Preservation Commission on May 11.
We have until Monday, May 10 at 12 PM EST to get our letters in to [email protected]. Help us stop Hope Street Capital!

@LinDustrial @nyclandmarks But you will be able to walk to the building and peek in through the fence! You mean that's not enough open space? 🙄
The truth is @nyclandmarks care only for their fellow architects/developers, as they demonstrated today.

[Friends of 920 Park @920parkfriends]

And to add injury to insult: @nyclandmarks Commissioner Fred Bland of @BBBarch says he's sorry to hear the community is not more excited and supportive "but sometimes that's hard in neighborhoods." 🤨
Do you care to explain what did you mean with that phrase, Commissioner Bland?

[Friends of 920 Park @920parkfriends]

Take a look at this from today's @nyclandmarks hearing. Notice how the feedback from the community is just mentioned for the record but our words are not addressed at all. Notice how deferential they are with @MorrisAdjmi.
How is this fair? Why is the community ignored?

[Chi Ossé @OsseChi]

BS.

My neighbors and I have been voicing our concerns against the building of this development for months. For our concerns to be ignored is yet again a reflection of how greedy and insincere big developers are when it comes to communities like ours.

This fight isn’t over.
