The staff of the Landmarks Preservation Commission recently received a request to review a proposal for work
at the subject premises. The proposed work consists of cleaning the exterior of the building, including the
facade and roof, of debris related to the collapse of the World Trade Center, including, at the facade,
removing all loose debris using, on the horizontal surfaces, non-metallic bristle brushes or scrapers,
followed up by wet wiping and a low pressure water rinse of not more than 250 PSI, and, at the roof,
collecting all loose debris, washing loose gravel, and wet wiping other surfaces, as described in
specifications prepared the City of New York Department of Environmental Protection and submitted as
components of this application.
Staff has reviewed these specifications and fords that the work on the facade and roof will not require the
removal of any significant protected material; that it will not detract from the architectural character of
the building or the streetscape, and that cleaning the facade will bring the building closer to its historic
appearance. Therefore, the Commission has no objection to the work proceeding at this time, or the issuance
of permits by any other city agency.
A copy of this pe have been sent to the City of New York Department of Environmental Protection.
