KELLNER 65th Assembly District Statement of Assembly Member Micah Z. Kellner In Opposition of Hardship Application to Demolish 429 East 64 Street and 430 East 65 Street of the City and Suburban First Avenue Estate Landmarks Preservation Commission - January 24, 2012 My name is Micah Z. Kellner and I represent the 65th Assembly District in Manhattan, including parts of the Upper East Side, Yorkville, and Roosevelt Island. Thank you to Chair Tierney and to the Commissioners ofthe New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for the opportunity to testify today regarding the Hardship Applicatio.nsubmitted by the owner of 429 East 64th Street and 430 East 65 th Street. I urge the LPC to deny this application. If granted, the owner will proceed with their ultimate plans for the demolition of these buildings that are an integral part ofthe landmarked City and Suburban First Avenue Estate. After reviewing all the information presented in the expert reports and testimony being submitted by the owner as well as the individuals and groups in opposition, I believe that the LPC will reach the conclusion that the information provided in the application does not support the required criteria for granting an economic hardship. This owner continuously has fought the designation of these two buildings as landmarks. This matter finally was concluded after a protracted legal battle by the June 24, 2010 decision of the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department upholding the LPC's 2006 designation.
