  • Harlem Transportation Study
    3.0 LAND USE AND ZONING Zoning The city is divided into three basic zoning districts: residential (R), commercial (C), and manufacturing (M). The three basic categories are further subdivided into lower, medium, and higher density residential, commercial and manufacturing districts. Development within these districts is regulated by use, building size, and parking regulations. Here is a brief description of the three basic zoning districts according to the Zoning Handbook: Residential District (R) In New York City, there are ten standard residential districts, R1 through R10. The numbers refer to the permitted density (R1 having the lowest density and R10 the highest) and other controls such as required parking. A second letter or number signifies additional controls are required in certain districts. R1 and R2 districts allow only detached single-family residences and certain community facilities. The R3-2 through R10 districts accept all types of dwelling units and community facilities and are distinguished by differing bulk and density, height and setback, parking, and lot coverage or open space requirements. Commercial District (C) The commercial districts reflect the full range of commercial activity in the city from local retail and service establishmentsDRAFT to high density, shopping, entertainment and office uses. There are eight basic commercial districts where two (C1 and C2 districts) are designed to serve local needs, one district (C4) is for shopping centers outside the central business district, two (C5 and C6 districts) are for the central business districts which embrace the office, retail, and commercial functions that serve the city and region, and three (C3, C7, and C8 districts) are designed for special purposes (waterfront activity, large commercial amusement parks and heavy repair services).

  • Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:57 13 August 2016 the HOARDING IMPULSE
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:57 13 August 2016 THE HOARDING IMPULSE There has been an increased awareness of hoarding in recent years, but clinical treatments aimed at helping people with this condition often have low success rates. In The Hoarding Impulse Renee M. Winters explores how depth psychology can enrich current conceptual models and treatment standards for compulsive hoarding. The book presents case studies of prominent sufferers including Edie and Edith Beale, the Collyer Brothers, and Andy Warhol and explores common themes of loss, shame and object clusters. Winters sets out to provide a clear understanding of a hoarder’s lived experiences and their core schemas of value, worth and personal identity, revealing a direct connection to excessive acquisition of objects. She illuminates the process of how objects can come to possess a hoarder and become not only their main source of happiness but also part of their identity and in doing so puts forward a new treatment plan based on providing a deeper understanding of and potent treatment approach to what is a core issue for hoarding individuals: the wounding of the soul. This new perspective to treating individuals who hoard helps them in the long term understand their processes, value system, and struggles with negative interpersonal relationships. Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:57 13 August 2016 Providing a fascinating insight into the psyche of people who struggle with hoarding, this book will be essential reading for depth psychologists, Jungian psychotherapists, psychiatrists, social workers, students of analytical psychology and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of this complex condition.

Instructions for Saving | About this Service | Purchase History THE CITY WEEKLY DESK COPING; In a West Side Apartment, a World By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS (NYT) 801 words Published: May 1, 2005 LIKE ancient Egypt, which buried its dead surrounded by their worldly goods, New York seems to nurture the most fabulous pack rats. The Collyer brothers famously perished after being sealed in their Harlem brownstone by 180 tons of ephemera. But few have heard of Yoshio Kishi, a 74-year-old Japanese-American film editor, who has made up, perhaps, for his unheralded jobs filling union-mandated slots on films like ''Raging Bull'' by filling his apartment near Lincoln Center with a relentless abundance of Asian-American memorabilia. I collect, therefore I am. In the dimly lighted apartment, thousands of books, sealed in yellowing Mylar bags, bristle from floor to ceiling shelves in every room. Paper bags stuffed with records, videos, sheet music, pamphlets, buttons and even dolls march along all but a narrow alley of floor. Since Mr. Kishi's mother, Haru, died in 2002, the collection has been inching into her once pristine bedroom. He estimates that over 40 years, he has collected at least 10,000 items of Asian-Americana. Some universities have some of what he has, but experts say Mr. Kishi's collection is distinguished not just by its size but by the eclectic nature of his curiosity and tastes.

  • Collyers' Mansion
    Collyers' Mansion Published 05/29/2014 by: Operations A "Collyers' Mansion" is a modern firefighting term for a dwelling that is so filled with trash and debris it becomes a serious danger to the occupants and emergency responders. It is common for a FDNY Incident Commander to transmit "Searches will be delayed" over the Department radio when these type of conditions are found. Collyer-type conditions can be found anywhere in New York City. When these conditions are found Firefighters must perform thorough extinguishment, overhaul and search. The large amount of clutter can make final extinguishment and searches very difficult and time- consuming. The Collyer brothers often are cited as an example of compulsive hoarding associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as disposophobia or “Collyer brothers syndrome,” a fear of throwing anything away. For decades, the unemployed men lived in their home at 2078 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan. They obsessively collected newspapers, books, furniture, musical instruments and many other items, with booby traps set up in corridors and doorways to protect against intruders. On March 21, 1947, Homer Collyer was found dead in the Harlem brownstone. On April 8, 1947, a workman found the body of Langley Collyer just 10 feet from where Homer died. The brownstone contained more than 100 tons of rubbish that they had amassed spanningseveral decades. Units responding to fires and/or emergencies in a hoarding household will have to operate under difficult conditions due to: • Increased fire load resulting in high heat and smoke conditions • Deep-seated content fires • Difficulty fully extinguishing fire • Storage of materials near or on top of heating sources, such as candles, cigarettes, stove, furnace, etc.
