Summary of site plans and status
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
These buildings are connected (underneath the structures) and were purchased by Swig Equities for $54 million with air rights. The residents formed the 200/201 Tenants’ Association and organized a Board of Directors that is working with the tenants to protect the rights of those who presently reside in the building.
Elected officials, including Council Member Gale Brewer, sent a letter to Attorney General Eliot Spitzer on October 21, 2006 to encourage rejection of the offering plan for additional floors to the building.
In 2007, Swig Equities proposed additional condos to be built on the roof of the two buildings, but withdrew the application after much protest from the tenants, elected officials, and city agencies.
According to the minutes from the May 1, 2007 Full Board Meeting of Community Board 7, “DOB revoked building permit for the construction of additional floors on 201 West 92nd Street.”
