COFA for 240 Central Park South, Manhattan, Docket 061608 THE NEW YORK CITY LANDMARKS PRESERVATION COMMISSION 1 CENTRE STREET 9TH FLOOR NORTH NEW YORK NY 10007 TEL: 212 669-7700 FAX: 212 669-7780 PERMIT CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS ISSUE DATE: EXPIRATION DATE: DOCKET #: COFA #: 09/13/2005 07/26/2011 06-1608 COFA 06-1820 ADDRESS BOROUGH: BLOCK/LOT: 240 CENTRAL PARK SOUTH INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK 240 CENTRAL PARK SOUTH APARTMENTS MANHATTAN 1030/58 Display This Permit While Work Is In Progress ISSUED TO: Beth Korein, Member Central Park South Associates LLC 240 Central Park South New York, NY 10019 Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of July 26, 2005, following the Public Meeting of the same date, voted to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for the proposed work at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed June 30, 2005, and as you were informed in Status Update Letter 06-0633 (LPC 05-7958) issued on July 26, 2005. The proposed work, as approved, consists of removing existing plywood panels and installing aluminum framed butt jointed glass at the openings at the tank house level of the tower. The approved work was shown on presentation boards, labeled A-01and A-2, dated May 6, 2005; A-3 and A-4, dated July 11, 2005, and A-5, A-6, A-7and A-8, dated July 13, 2005, consisting of current condition photographs, historic condition photographs, and drawings, all prepared by Douglas James Lister, RA. The presentation material also included a glazing material sample, all presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meeting. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the 240 Central Park South Apartments Designation Report describes 232-246 Central Park South (aka 233-241 West 58th Street, 232-246 West 59th Street, 1792-1810 Broadway) as an Art-Deco Modernist style apartment building, designed by Mayer and Whittlesey and built in 1939-1940; and that prior to designation, plywood was installed at the openings at the top of the tank house level of the building's tower. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the removal of the plywood covering will eliminate an element which detracts from the significant architectural features of the building; that the proposed installation, featuring a regularized and simple configuration of clear, butt jointed glass, and thin metal framing, visible only from a distance, will be a discreet presence and will allow the openings at the tower to continue to read as void; and that the proposed work will not diminish the special architectural and historic character of this individual landmark. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the work to be appropriate to the landmark and voted to approve the application. The Commission authorized the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness upon receipt, review and approval of two sets of signed and sealed Department of Building filing drawings showing the approved design. Subsequently, on August 25, 2005, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings A-01 and A-2, dated May 6, 2005, and prepared by Douglas James Lister, RA. Accordingly, staff reviewed the drawings and noted that interior light fixtures are shown on the approved drawings and that the design approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on this and the above findings, the drawings have been marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 06-1820 is being issued. This permit is issued on the basis of the building and site conditions described in the application and disclosed during the review process. By accepting this permit, the applicant agrees to notify the Commission if the actual building or site conditions vary or if original or historic building fabric is discovered. The Commission reserves the right to amend or revoke this permit, upon written notice to the applicant, in the event that the actual building or site conditions are materially different from those described in the application or disclosed during the review process. All approved drawings are marked approved by the Commission with a perforated seal indicating the date of approval. The work is limited to what is contained in the perforated documents. Other work or amendments to this filing must be reviewed and approved separately. The applicant is hereby put on notice that performing or maintaining any work not explicitly authorized by this permit may make the applicant liable for criminal and/or civil penalties, including imprisonment and fines. This letter constitutes the permit; a copy must be prominently displayed at the site while work is in progress. Please direct inquiries to Bernadette Artus. Robert B. Tierney Chair PLEASE NOTE: PERFORATED DRAWINGS AND A COPY OF THIS PERMIT HAVE BEEN SENT TO: Josephine Minutillo, Douglas J. Lister, Architect cc: Caroline Kane Levy, Deputy Director of Preservation PAGE 2 Issued: 9/13/05 DOCKET: 06-1608.

On April 30, 2002, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of 240 Central Park South Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Nineteen people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Central Park South Associates (the property's owners), Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, CityCouncilmember Eva Moskowitz, New York Assemblyman Richard N. Gottfried, Municipal Art Society, New York Landmarks Conservancy, Historic Districts Council, Landmark West!, DOCOMOMO New York Tri-State, Modern Architecture Working Group, and architect-historian Robert A.M.

  • 240 Central Park South - Overview
    240 Central Park South - Overview Completed in 1941, 240 Central Park South has been designated an individual New York City Landmark. Comprised of two separate towers, the larger of the two – a twenty-eight floor residential tower – is located at the southeastern part of Columbus Circle facing Central Park. The smaller, fifteen floor tower sits at the corner of Broadway and 58th Street. Connecting the two towers is a one story lobby and storefronts that run along Broadway. A complete restoration project began in 2003. All areas of the building’s exterior and interior were addressed, including the following: Façade Restoration (Masonry Replacement & Cleaning, Chimney Replacement) Roof, Terrace & Balcony Replacement Courtyard Restoration Storefront Replacement Electrical Upgrade and Hallway Renovation Lobby Restoration Elevator Modernization Roof Landscape Installation 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Detail 240 Central Park South - Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Window Repairs 240 Central Park South – Mosaic Restoration 240 Central Park South – Terracotta Restoration 58th Street Entrance 240

  • Printing Instructions
    © PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS Please follow these easy steps to print out the following addresses onto mailing-label sheets. STEP 1 – Do a test print: Print out at least one page of the addresses from this PDF onto regular paper. To be extra safe, print this entire PDF from page 2 until the end. (Starting at page 2 will avoid printing this instruction page.) STEP 2 – Take a sheet of blank mailing labels ( Avery 5260 or Avery 5160 labels ) and put it on top of your print-out test. Hold this up to a light source to see if the addresses on the print-out line up correctly with the size of the mailing labels. Make any necessary adjustments to your printer settings to ensure that the addresses will fit correctly on the mailing labels. STEP 3 – Load the mailing-label pages into your printer. Note: Labels are thicker than regular paper, so be careful to not overfill your printer tray or you may get a printer jam. STEP 4 – Print out one page of addresses onto a mailing-label sheet as a test. Look at the print-out to make sure that the alignment is correct. Make any necessary adjustments to your printer settings. Repeat until the test labels are correctly aligned. STEP 5 – Print all of the address labels from page 2 until the end of the PDF document. You may want to print only one page at a time to be safe; or print out all pages at once if you're sure it'll work. STEP 6 – Now peel the labels off of the sheets and place them on your postcards or envelopes to send your headshot & resume to industry professionals.
