Julie and I just received news yesterday from Leah Donaldson of the DOB that the agency "has revoked application 103907337, which included the addition of the fifth floor. A Stop Work Order has been issued to the site and periodic inspections are conducted to ensure no work is occurring.Please stay tuned for more details.
DOB will continue to monitor the site to ensure all violations are being resolved."
From what Julie heard from an architect, having an application revoked is a very rare thing. So, I think this is big news.
