P.S. 64 is Under Attack
The Village Voice’s Power Plays reports that Greg Singer, the owner of P.S. 64 near the west end of Tompkins Square Park, has begun stripping the terra cotta facade. As Singer was awarded an alteration permit before the building was landmarked in June, he has the legal right to destroy the landmarked facade by October. With the facade removed he can go to court to overturn the building’s landmarked status.
