Landmark saga for 184 Kent Avenue ends

The saga of 184 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg seems to have ended. The Landmarks Preservation Commission earlier this year designated the Austin, Nichols warehouse as a landmark, thereby throwing into doubt plans for condos on top of it. The City Council overrode the commission – only the second time it’s done so since the early 1990s. Then, Mayor Bloomberg overrode the council and sided with the commission. But, on Thursday, the council overrode the mayor’s veto and left the warehouse without landmark status. Got it? Good. Because that should be it. more [Post]
