    State of New York OPINION Court of Appeals This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports. No. 50 John Kuzmich, et al., Appellants, v. 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC, Respondent. -------------------------------------------- No. 51 William T. West, et al., Appellants, v. B.C.R.E. - 90 West Street, LLC, Respondent, Lee Rosen, Defendant. Case No. 50: Robert S. Smith, for appellants. James M. McGuire, for respondent. Metropolitan Council on Housing; The Real Estate Board of New York, amici curiae. Case No. 51: Robert S. Smith, for appellants. Magda L. Cruz, for respondent. STEIN, J.: The question presented on these appeals is whether plaintiffs’ apartments, which are located in buildings receiving tax benefits pursuant to Real Property Tax Law (RPTL) § 421-g, are subject to the luxury deregulation provisions of the Rent Stabilization Law - 1 - - 2 - Nos. 50, 51 (RSL) (see generally Rent Stabilization Law of 1969 [Administrative Code of City of New York § 26-504.1]). We conclude that they are not and, therefore, reverse. I In each of these cases, plaintiffs are individual tenants of rented apartments located in lower Manhattan, which are owned by defendants, 50 Murray Street Acquisition LLC or B.C.R.E. – 90 West Street, LLC.1 Defendants have received certain tax benefits pursuant to section 421-g of the RPTL in connection with the conversion of their buildings from office space to residential use. In these actions, plaintiffs seek, among other things, a declaration that their apartments are subject to rent stabilization. Plaintiffs allege that defendants failed to treat the apartments as rent stabilized even though the receipt of benefits under RPTL 421-g is expressly conditioned upon the regulation of rents in the subject buildings.

  • Skyscrapers and District Heating, an Inter-Related History 1876-1933
    Skyscrapers and District Heating, an inter-related History 1876-1933. Introduction: The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between a new urban and architectural form, the skyscraper, and an equally new urban infrastructure, district heating, both of witch were born in the north-east United States during the late nineteenth century and then developed in tandem through the 1920s and 1930s. These developments will then be compared with those in Europe, where the context was comparatively conservative as regards such innovations, which virtually never occurred together there. I will argue that, the finest example in Europe of skyscrapers and district heating planned together, at Villeurbanne near Lyons, is shown to be the direct consequence of American influence. Whilst central heating had appeared in the United Kingdom in the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, district heating, which developed the same concept at an urban scale, was realized in Lockport (on the Erie Canal, in New York State) in the 1880s. In United States were born the two important scientists in the fields of heating and energy, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) and Benjamin Thompson Rumford (1753-1814). Standard radiators and boilers - heating surfaces which could be connected to central or district heating - were also first patented in the United States in the late 1850s.1 A district heating system produces energy in a boiler plant - steam or high-pressure hot water - with pumps delivering the heated fluid to distant buildings, sometimes a few kilometers away. Heat is therefore used just as in other urban networks, such as those for gas and electricity.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.

  • Principles and Revised Preliminary Blueprint for the Future of Lower Manhattan
    Lower Manhattan Development Corporation 1 Liberty Plaza, 20th Floor New York, NY 10006 Phone: (212) 962-2300 Fax: (212) 962-2431 PRINCIPLES AND REVISED PRELIMINARY BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE OF LOWER MANHATTAN When New York City was attacked on September 11, 2001, the United States and the democratic ideals upon which it was founded were also attacked. The physical damage New York City sustained was devastating and the human toll was immeasurable. But New York does not bear the loss alone. In the aftermath of September 11, the entire nation has embraced New York, and we have responded by vowing to rebuild our City – not as it was, but better than it was before. Although we can never replace what was lost, we must remember those who perished, rebuild what was destroyed, and renew Lower Manhattan as a symbol of our nation’s resilience. This is the mission of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. The LMDC, a subsidiary of Empire State Development, was formed by the Governor and Mayor as a joint State-City Corporation to oversee the revitalization of Lower Manhattan south of Houston Street. LMDC works in cooperation with the Port Authority and all stakeholders to coordinate long-term planning for Lower Manhattan while concurrently pursuing initiatives to improve the quality of life. The task before us is immense. Our most important priority is to create a permanent memorial on the World Trade Center site that appropriately honors those who were lost, while reaffirming the democratic ideals that came under attack on September 11. Millions of people will journey to Lower Manhattan each year to visit what will be a world-class memorial in an area steeped in historical significance and filled with cultural treasures – including the Statute of Liberty and Ellis Island.

    Durability + Design - Crown of Gold: Roof Gleams Anew Atop N.Y. Landmark The Journal of Architectural Coatings A Product of Technology Publishing JPCL/PaintSquare | D+D | PWC | Paint BidTracker Crown of Gold: Roof Gleams Anew Atop N.Y. Landmark From D+D, September 2010 By Joe Maty Editor, Durability + Design New York Life Insurance Company has successfully built an indelible brand identity by calling itself “The Company You Keep.” Perhaps equally firmly etched into public consciousness of the venerable Empire State-based concern is its landmark headquarters building on Madison Avenue, a Gothic- revival, Indiana limestone edifice designed in 1926 by the legendary Cass Gilbert. The towering structure has loomed large in the company’s media imagery for many years. No doubt it’s the building the company will keep, considering its intimate connection with the corporate identity. Recently, the company also demonstrated that the building’s roof it is surely determined to keep—intact in all its gold-gilt glory, a gem glittering amid Gotham’s steel, stone, and concrete canyons. New York Life summoned The Gilders’ Studio Inc., based in Olney, Md., to formulate and execute a restoration and regilding program for the pyramidal, lantern-topped roof, composed of 25,000 gilded tiles. The job entailed an in- depth evaluation of materials and methods to return the roof and lantern to their former, glittering appearance. The company also serves as construction manager for the project. The upper section of the building, showing the gilded roof following restoration Michael Kramer, president of The Gilders Studio, said the roof is the largest exterior gold-leaf structure in the Photos courtesy of The Gilders’ Studio.

Located at the south end of the World Trade Center site, this early skyscraper, designed in 1907 by Cass Gilbert, lay vacant for two years until a restoration effort described as “heroic” in size was undertaken by new owners who transformed the building into residential rental apartments. Façade Maintenance Design was the Professional of Record for the exterior restoration, which included the restoration of the copper­clad mansard roof, terra cotta façade, granite base, and windows. FMD’s work began in the winter of 2003 and was completed in the fall of 2005. The project scope was reviewed by the National Park Service, the New York State Historic Preservation Office, and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. SPEAKERS RICHARD W.
