Illegal Addition at 515 East 5th Street

November 30, 2014
Last week I submitted testimony to the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) opposing the owner's request for variances to the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law at 515 East 5th Street. Nearly a decade ago, the owner illegally constructed two additional floors to the building. I do not believe the owner, who has a long and egrigious record intimidating and harassing tenants, should be rewarded for illegal construction and consistently ignoring DOB and BSA's orders to remove the floors and bring the building up to code.
