The DOB held a hearing yesterday on the fate of the Broken Angel. City Councilmember Tish James stepped up to act as the Woods’ lawyer and engineer Robert Wolfson presented a plan for bringing the structure into conformity with local building codes. “It’s a treasure that needs to be saved,” said Wolf. The DOB has requested another meeting next week to review technical details for how to remove the upper portions of the structure. Anyone know any other details from the meeting?

ok wait is everyone smoking something… How many of these posters live within stones throw of this monstrosity??!! This thing is awful. odd does not equal art! And a couple burnt out sqautters do not equal artists
How sad that some think affordable housing is counterposed to preserving something beautiful.
Arthur needs to get his head out of the stars and think about creative ways to save this building.
good question…sounds like DOB wants that top piece taken down, no?
Is that how it looks now?
Or does it look more like this?

Are we talking about allowing the owner to recreate the structure/’artistic piece’ that was there before the fire? Or simply finding a way for the family to return to their home?
