History: This altered row house was built in c.1830 for David Chrystie at a time when this area was developing homes for the city’s expand-ing middle class. By 1880, the building was occupied by a boarding house, and by 1890 had been converted to a factory. By the early twentieth century, the building was occupied by the fur industry which was centered in this area into the mid-twentieth century. One fur dealer, Jacob Scholnick, moved his business into the building in the late 1930s, and purchased the property in 1945. He maintained his business in the building into the early 1960s. Another long-term tenant was Heyman Sew- ing Machine Co., which was located here from the late 1930s through the mid-1960s. By then, the post- war decline in the city’s manufacturing base left much vacant commercial space, and loft dwellers began to take over the upper stories of this building. In 1984, the building’s facade was replaced. It remains in residential use. 25 Bleecker Street - Historic Designation 12 Zoning New York City’s zoning regulates permitted uses of the property; the size of the building allowed in rela- tion to the size of the lot (“floor to area ratio”); required open space on the lot, the number of dwelling units permitted; the distance between the building and the street; the distance between the building and the lot line; and the amount of parking required. The commercial district has eight different classifications. The manufacturing district has three different classifications. The residential district has ten different clas- sifications. 25 Bleecker Street is zoned M1-5B which allows for a 5.0 FAR. In M1-5A and M1-5B districts mapped in NoHo, artists may occupy joint living-work quarters as an industrial use. 25 Bleecker Street 25 Bleecker Street - Zoning 13 Zoning 25 Bleecker Street - Zoning 14 Tax Information 25 Bleecker Street - Tax Information 15 Location Description NoHo: The lifestyle: A creative pocket of Downtown Manhattan.

The Bleecker Street 6 train stop that was recently renovated is on the same block as the property providing a link to the B, D, and F trains. The cross-town buses provide arguably the bus system’s largest convenience, allowing residents to get to and from the East Side through to the Hudson River by means of the M8 and M21 buses. By car, there is easy access to the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, and Brooklyn-Battery tunnel. The area is equally accessible to John F.

  • 2010 MTA Annual Performance Review
    PERMANENT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE MTA REPRESENTING MTA RIDERS SINCE 1981 2010 Annual Performance Review of The MTA and Its Operating Agencies Introduction The 2010 Annual Performance Review marks the fourth report by PCAC which evaluates the yearly initiatives and accomplishments of the MTA and its operating agencies. As in the past, we address the broad themes that affect the ability of the MTA to deliver quality service to the riders that we represent: leadership, transparency, accountability, service performance, communication, community outreach, security, capital program management, etc. An important guide in this review process is previous years’ assessments in order to gauge the progress made in policies and practices. Last year the MTA was fortunate to have sustained and capable leadership at Headquarters and the Agencies. However, the organization faced extreme financial pressures that required not only a fare hike but painful service cuts. Chairman and CEO Jay Walder has committed the MTA to “Making Every Dollar Count” and finding efficiencies within the system that will enable the MTA to overcome deficits without additional outside funding. The PCAC will be looking for performance measures and more accountability to accompany this slogan. Despite the gloomy financial environment, the MTA and the Agencies did make strides in a number of areas: an improved website; technology applications to operations and communication; streamlining the MTA Board Committee structure; progress in the long stalled installation of CCTV cameras in subways and countdown clocks; much greater transparency as a result of the capital program and performance dashboards on the website; and continued support of transit-oriented development projects.

  • This Lively Downtown Neighborhood Has Been a Center of Bohemian Lifestyle Since the Early 1900S
    This lively downtown neighborhood has been a center of bohemian lifestyle since the early 1900s. Home to jazz clubs in the 1920s, to 1960s hippy havens and 1980s punk rock clubs, the East Village has always had an edginess that the West Village (a.k.a. Greenwich Village) lacks. During Dutch colonial days, much of the East Village was farmland owned by Dutch colonial Governor Peter Stuyvesant. Its18th century pastoral setting gave way to 19th century wealth followed by 20th century bohemianism and is now a 21st century playland filled to the brim with bars, lounges, cheap restaurants and haute cuisine, boutiques, vintage shops and more. The most special thing about the East Village is free: the authenticity and energy you will feel when you stroll its streets. Be sure to check out our self-guided tour of Greenwich Village (West Village) as well as ​ ​ our full list of self-guided NYC tours. ​ ​ We recommend that you start this tour in Astor Place. Astor Place is located on the western boundary of the East Village. Use this Google map link for directions to Astor ​ Place. If you are considering purchasing a hop-on, hop-off bus ticket, most companies ​ offer stops in or just nearby Astor Place.

  • Chapter 16: Transit and Pedestrians
    Chapter 16: Transit and Pedestrians A. INTRODUCTION The Proposed Actions would generate new trips that would use commuter rail services, subways, and buses as well as the sidewalks, corners, and crosswalks in the vicinity of the development parcels. This chapter assesses the potential impacts of these trips to determine whether the Proposed Actions would result in significant adverse impacts on transit and pedestrian facilities that would require mitigation. The Proposed Actions would result in significant adverse impacts on the PL9 stairway at Grand Central Station; on the M16/M34 and M42 bus routes; and at three pedestrian locations. The impacts to the PL9 stairway, the M42 bus route, and the three pedestrian locations were also identified with the development programs presented in the Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement (FGEIS) completed in January 2004. However, the Proposed Actions’ impact on the M16/M34 bus routes was not previously identified. This impact occurs because there would be a substantial number of new trips from the Hudson Yards Development on this route in the future without the Proposed Actions (No Build condition). With the inclusion of the United Nations Development Corporations (UNDC) project in the future baseline condition, there would be an additional subway stairway impact at Grand Central Station and impacts at five additional pedestrian locations. The impacts on bus line-haul would be the same with or without UNDC as a background project. B. SUMMARY OF FGEIS FINDINGS The assessment of transit and pedestrian conditions in the FGEIS examined commuter rail, subway line-haul and station operations, bus line-haul, and pedestrian conditions for four development alternatives on the development parcels.
