The presenter, speaking on behalf of structural engineer Steven Wong and the building, said the existing sidewalk includes heavy granite slabs (about 10 inches thick) supported directly on steel beams with no curb or waterproofing; joints have allowed water to pass into the vaults below, causing corrosion, delamination and damage to mechanical and electrical equipment. The presenter showed photos of vault spaces where electrical equipment had been recently replaced and of areas where ceiling elements had fallen away from pump rooms due to moisture and deterioration. He said the building has been paying frequent caulking costs but that the steel beams are now compromised and that reinstalling granite in the existing structural configuration would be cost prohibitive and would require removing more of the structure.

The engineer's proposal described replacing the sidewalk with a new two-slab concrete system: a structural slab with a waterproofing membrane and a pigmented concrete wearing surface intended to match adjacent sidewalks. The presenter said the pigmented concrete would be selected to blend with neighboring sections that already have poured concrete slabs and that the alternative of re-installing granite wear slabs on a new waterproof deck had been studied but judged financially and structurally impractical in the current condition.

Public commenters raised preservation concerns, noting granite sidewalks are part of neighborhood historic fabric and encouraging the commission to require reinstatement of a granite wear surface when possible. Committee members discussed options including installing a waterproofed structural slab and then applying a granite wearing surface atop it, if structurally feasible. One committee member said they were \"attracted to the idea of putting a granite wear surface back onto the new sidewalk if possible.\" The committee agreed to recommend further study of reapplying a granite top layer on the new waterproofed deck and to return guidance to the applicant; no formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.

Ending: The committee requested additional documentation and color samples for the proposed pigmented concrete and asked the applicant to investigate feasibility and cost of reinstalling granite as a wearing surface over a new waterproofed deck.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Manhattan CB2 August 14, 2025 - Landmarks Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Representatives for 27'29 (2729) Great Jones Street asked the committee to permit replacement of granite and concrete sidewalk flags after reporting corrosion of supporting steel beams and water infiltration into vault spaces.","taxTitle","Manhattan City, New York County, New York","taxId",3586,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6498821,"Owners propose rear-facade restoration, window reconfiguration for 96 Bank Street in Greenwich Village Historic District",3420,5000,3425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772&start=5&end=3425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772/thumbnail_5000.jpg","/articles/6498821/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Owners-propose-rear-facade-restoration-window-reconfiguration-for-96-Bank-Street-in-Greenwich-Village-Historic-District","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498821-01fa165d6dedf16f7a59b3ec008321c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770404807&Signature=NdQz1u9ydBp3XBQXYBiQUd~Bf3hMwH1IWsMFtzguo--dbDpB6128SNdtSPvVclbcdt2tDUpqMMzntSvr253Q8zyfzU~jLh~EL8fg~lTBwRMEKp4Q9TjSmQIukkfgXeP0BmeoTdFl770PxCt5YPx2YTQPrzIKmy0P1rMEOk9foeJi3usPIMq-AdPajQqg94MPA69~praNaEC2D3YcoyDd~d3BhaeCkv24B3yiCeeQEBZxHy3wGvtAcxfWhC7UmOYbfXEbxXb1DQCYZvDaPhuvmV4zRGSmwNXHmTaPtfAIbub~aq1NRvAkTNTgWAZVPelHBRlOfOHzeii1SIjW4YuV5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Owners’ representatives presented proposed changes to the rear facade of 96 Bank Street, a three-story row house within the Greenwich Village Historic District, asking the Landmarks Committee to modify a previously approved plan.

The applicants said the current rear facade has no historic elements, that exposed steel and lintels are showing early corrosion and that some lot-line windows are noncompliant with Department of Buildings separation requirements. The proposal calls for infilling portions of the rear facade to create a three-window row-house rhythm, adding a lightweight partition and a thin brick veneer cladding (approximately 0.5 inch brick on a metal grid) to provide a continuous brick surface, and removing all nonconforming lot-line windows except one third-floor east-side window to preserve natural light for a primary bathroom vanity area.

The applicants said the new windows will match the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC)–approved front facade windows, metal sills would be replaced with similar sandstone sills, and the thin brick veneer color will match the front facade brick. They explained that the partition work is intended to limit added load on the existing structure and that the veneer adds roughly three-quarters of an inch of depth.

Committee members expressed support for restoring a more historic appearance on the rear and for addressing exposed structural steel. One committee member asked why parlor-level windows are shorter than typical and the applicant replied the shorter height is to avoid conflict with kitchen cabinetry; the committee asked the applicant to explore alternatives such as freestanding cabinets so taller, more historic window proportions could be retained. Committee member Brian said he was “appreciative of the direction” toward historic appearance and that the applicant “might have done our work for us.”

Business session: the committee recorded a recommendation that the rear facade adopt conventional parlor-floor window proportions (taller parlor-level windows) and that the interior kitchen/cabinet layout be revised or an alternative be found so taller windows can be employed where feasible. The committee noted the previously approved rooftop addition and other prior approvals remain in effect and unchanged by this modification request.

The committee did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; recommendations were made by consensus in the business session.

Ending: The applicant will return with revised drawings addressing the committee’s request about parlor window proportions and interior cabinet solutions; no formal commission vote was recorded in the transcript at this meeting.","Owners’ representatives presented proposed changes to the rear facade of 96 Bank Street, a three-story row house within the Greenwich Village Historic District, asking the Landmarks Committee to modify a previously approved plan.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6498808,"Landmarks Committee reviews canopy recladding and halo-lit sign for Lululemon flagship at 524 Broadway",2213,1544000,3757000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772&start=1544&end=3757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772/thumbnail_1544000.jpg","/articles/6498808/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Landmarks-Committee-reviews-canopy-recladding-and-halo-lit-sign-for-Lululemon-flagship-at-524-Broadway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498808-14fc626598a0738a6f17d33350aac31a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770404808&Signature=eOnFQQTJ7w8ut2sOJ5N5p6ropnu8P0fBzqqS4aXp8yTyRlGlf1PV8i2uzloUtmW7PZi8qwNrGXfr1JiBJDFsZIgQTs3ofMoJQkCFDExH04HJ3PN3OZcjsR~CQKi~3HjGLiJcHifIFkd~QWgsgeDsRun30UHZsrDKv~Hsglc5F8PASdcciUowERKqkXyjDadQqYyz5POX9G7g-Decj8FZANRgPxjrJqUgIvbEIhN1LoSlnHb390nPZhI2daF-UaqdQyiS~XghctaWzE6Koc8hiHdWGPMyiYBbaLesj-YNCvMSX169q69WdBs0-4dONx~E0ex5g2A7E20l2XL3VoGnJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The committee reviewed a proposal to modify the commission-approved retail canopy and install halo-lit signage for a new Lululemon flagship at 524 Broadway in the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District.

Julie Rosen of Higgins Quaisbarth and Partners presented the proposal, joined by Sarah Ripple and other project team members. Rosen said the work is limited to the retail entry bay on Broadway: recladding the existing commission-approved canopy, adding a painted black 16-inch aluminum channel on the canopy perimeter, applying a translucent gray-scale film to the five existing glazed infill panels, and installing individually mounted halo-lit letters on the face of the new channel. She described the letters as 13.5 inches tall (the logo 14 inches), mounted approximately 1 inch off the canopy face with shielded backlighting. Rosen said the existing canopy structure would remain and that the work would avoid impacts to historic fabric; she noted LPC staff can approve halo-lit letters up to 18 inches tall but that the canopy redesign requires commission-level review because the two elements are proposed in combination.

Lululemon's Lisa Ewing, identified as senior director of global retail design, said the company is moving out of its existing nearby space and that the new location's signage would be the only Lululemon signage in the immediate area once the move is complete.

Committee members asked clarifying questions about dimensions, glazing film, and apparent rendering artifacts; the project team said two rendering issues showing altered pilasters and changed mullions were unintentional and would be corrected for the public hearing. Committee members noted the proposal fits within precedents along Broadway for canopy-mounted and halo-lit signage and that the scale of letters (13.5 inches) is below staff-level limits. One member said banners existing on Broadway are oversized but acknowledged banners were not before the committee because they were previously approved.

In business session the committee cleared the canopy recladding and halo-lit sign proposal to proceed to the September public hearing and requested corrected elevations to remove rendering artifacts; no formal roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.

Ending: The project team is calendared for a public hearing and will submit revised drawings showing corrected elevations and clarifications about canopy projection and materials.","The committee reviewed a proposal to reclad an existing canopy and install halo-lit signage for a new Lululemon flagship at 524 Broadway in the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6498818,"Master-plan application filed for painted wall sign at 394 West Broadway in SoHo",2830,770000,3600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772&start=770&end=3600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5594979-db6881a1a92bbf507bb343367b5cf772/thumbnail_770000.jpg","/articles/6498818/Manhattan-City/New-York-County/New-York/Master-plan-application-filed-for-painted-wall-sign-at-394-West-Broadway-in-SoHo","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498818-9c80db49e12c97dfdd79ba2ac52a976a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770404808&Signature=ikrfJtD8rqm1ViIqvfxvZZ8U-vk-O8Q-idgqXG5GeqyVEV4ZBOGQWfE6Y74TKwYqXrnvyuOsWKp7BEef~JLB2AnvcSVeTFz0mJYCF~6yEIBB0eIrqt3rQ-oThJTkDoSBBPUVq6zJbHPxGt19Mgec5~1y-dhK6rO1F4Y3j1g01TI27HfCFWY79OclXbyZy45aB0K2vnIG~WdlWvNJEel8IJStYvZX7DRKbl2wPoaOt5g4esoETAyYYn9roGbMyWHeuugXy6TThkQryVTlzSkJbtp6raCfjy~0J-d0o3aIDPJ1b9GwiVuXN1SsS1N8TX-w6cv2vTZK~f87jmoEjg~I7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Landmarks Committee heard a master-plan application for a painted wall sign at 394 West Broadway, a 1872 store-and-loft building in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District extension.

Jackie Puduvalen of JPD Preservation Consulting presented on behalf of the applicant and said the lot-line wall has a long-standing painted sign that predates current LPC practice; she said the existing sign is roughly 20 years old and deteriorating and that the tenant seeks to replace the image. Puduvalen said the proposed master plan would limit sign installation to a 10-year term, cap the sign area at about 837 square feet, and set the sign at approximately 29 feet 8 inches high by 28 feet 7 inches wide, set back about 1 foot from the front facade. She said the proposed sign would cover approximately 44.94% of the visible portion of the wall and that the proposal does not regulate content.

Puduvalen explained the application proceeded to public hearing because the existing painted sign is larger than what the LPC would typically approve and sits unusually close to the front facade; she also noted nearby painted wall signs that have been grandfathered and that the application team had shown precedent.

A member of the public, Pete Davies, spoke in opposition to allowing more time for an apparently deteriorated wall and asked what repairs beyond repainting would be done. The applicant replied that the wall condition is primarily peeling paint and that the structural wall is sound; she said the work would include scraping and repainting and that building ownership had delayed attention to the wall while addressing other building issues.

In business session the committee discussed precedent of similarly sized, grandfathered painted signs in the district and approved the master-plan request by consensus, citing prior approvals and the applicant's commitment to limit the installation term. No roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.","Applicant requested a 10-year master-plan approval for a painted wall sign (approximately 837 sq ft, ~44.9% of visible wall area) on the north lot-line wall of 394 West Broadway; committee members noted precedent for large, grandfathered painted wall signs nearby and voted to approve the master plan by consensus.","actionData","errors"]
