After Pei protests N.Y.U. plan,
supermarket site is new focus
BY ALBERT AMATEAU
After New York University
announced last week that it was with-
drawing its Landmarks Preservation
Commission application to build a
40-story fourth tower on the super-
block site of three I.M. Pei-designed
residential towers, Village neighbors
and preservation advocates were wait-
ing for the other shoe to drop.
What comes next is the N.Y.U.
as-of-right alternative to build on the
northwest corner of the superblock on
the Morton Williams supermarket site
— which is not protected by landmark
designation.
Because the supermarket site has
a larger footprint, the building would

be broader and shorter, 17 to 20 sto-
ries, about 200 feet tall; but it would
have roughly the same total 250,000
square feet of space proposed for the
abandoned project, which is the same
square footage of each of the three
existing buildings.
Nevertheless, neighborhood and
preservation-advocacy opponents
vowed last week to fight the alterna-
tive. The Greenwich Village Society

Tea Party’s brew
doesn’t go down
well Downtown
BY LINCOLN ANDERSON
It was the week after
the election and a longtime
reader of this newspaper,
a lifetime Village resident,
called to say she was won-
dering why the paper hadn’t
reported the results of the
local Downtown races. Sure,
she said, probably all the
same people won, just like
usual, as they’ve been doing
for years — but still... .
She was right. There
weren’t any surprises —
and there weren’t any com-
petitive races, either. Local
Democrats faced little-
known, token Republican
challengers, and, in each
case, solidly whupped them.

the same percentage that Congressmember
Jerrold Nadler got. Topping them both, how-
ever, was Congressmember Nydia Velazquez,
who won re-election with a whopping 93

In short, the “Tea Party revolution” defi-
nitely did not take hold Downtown, as the
Republicans, as usual, went down to defeat
again.
“I think we are very fortunate to have a
very well-informed and involved constitu-
ency that has the capacity to express concern
and disagreements in a rational and thought-
ful manner,” observed Glick. “Therefore,
it is not a surprise to me that the hysteria
fomented by the Tea Party did not find fertile
ground [here].
“My somewhat partisan view,” Glick con-
tinued, “is that the Republican Party has
not offered up programs or ideas that are
broadly supportive of people, and have gen-

He said he knew very little about his
Republican candidate in this past race and
had never met him.
“I did know who he is. His name is
Michael Chan — from Hong Kong,”
Gottfried offered.
“In my area, almost anyone running
on the Democratic line would be a strong
candidate,” he added. “I think the fact that
Manhattan Democratic officials rarely have
primaries and rarely have election contests
is a testament to the fact that Manhattan
residents are very vocal and active and keep
their legislators on their toes. A candidate
that is up to that is going to be a strong
candidate. Being held to that standard keeps
you in good shape.

Spray it, don’t say it; Fire Department floats new boat
On Sat., Nov. 13, in the harbor near the Statue of Liberty, the Fire Department wel-
comed its new fireboat, Firefighter II, below, to the fleet with an impressive display of
water-cannon prowess. The new vessel replaces the vintage Firefighter. It’s the twin
of the fleet’s other recent addition, the Three Forty Three, named for the number of
firefighters who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Among the fireboats joining
in the water-shooting salute was the retired John J. Harvey, which moors at the Hudson
River Park’s Pier 66 in Chelsea — and which was a hero of 9/11. Afterward, the fleet
motored to outside Battery Park City’s North Cove marina, near the W.T.C., where
there was a pause for a moment of silence.

The Housing Authority’s repair system is broken,

Continued from page 1
eral repair requests to NYCHA, to no avail.
“I call and say, ‘Listen, I need this… ’
They give [ticket numbers] to me, and they
never come over here.”
Most recently, a NYCHA operator sched-
uled a repair for Sept. 23. Martoral said she
waited all day, but no one came.
“I feel like that’s abuse, because I can’t
live like that. I understand I owe money,” she
said in broken English. “But they have to do
the job in housing, too.”
Her daughter Jubilee Domenech, 16,
recently injured the nails on her big toes
on broken floor tiles on the entryway to the
bathroom. She was forced to give up her
spot on her high-school basketball team
this fall because, she said, it’s too painful
to play.
“I can’t play no more until my toenails
come off,” she said.
Jubilee visited the doctor the day of the
accident, but she was too scared to go back
and get her nails removed. Her goal of earn-
ing a basketball scholarship at a state univer-
sity is now on the line.
“My toes are bothering me,” she said,
“and they’re making me think twice about
what I want to do.”
The apartment’s cracked floor may pose
other health problems, as well. Dr. Warren
Licht, chief medical officer at Downtown
Hospital, said asbestos could still be pres-
ent in the floors of older NYCHA buildings,
such as Smith Houses, which was built in
1953.
“It’s usually found in floors and hallways,”
Licht said. “The more you are exposed to it,
the more likely you are to get lung cancer 20
years from now.”
Only days after Jubilee hurt herself on
the tiles, a broken window in one of the
bedrooms fell forward onto her arm.
“I got up to look at my sister’s closet, and
the whole window came off on my arm,” she
explained.
A handyman showed up a few days later
to repair the window, but didn’t finish the
job.
“He was here for 10 minutes, tops,” she
said. “He just left this piece here with a
bunch of screws.”
The window is still broken.
“Don’t touch it,” her mother warned
Jubilee, fearful that it could hurt her daugh-
ter’s arm again.
The pipes above the toilet leak intermit-
tently, causing water and plaster to rain
down.
“When we flush the toilet, it goes crazy,”
Martoral said.
She has filed a complaint for that, too,
but doesn’t have a scheduled appointment.

in the house to protect her arms against the
falling plaster.
Aixa Torres, president of the Smith
Houses Tenant Association, established a
grievance committee last spring to document
tenants’ complaints and to assist those who
don’t speak English. Earlier this month, she
conducted a training session to teach resi-
dents how to set up an appointment through
NYCHA’s Centralized Call Center.
Torres is fed up with the repairs system,
which she said is proving futile. Based on
the repairs schedule, her ceiling fan isn’t sup-
posed to be fixed for two years.
“I’m just, like, done with them,” she said.
“If we have to do litigation, we’re going to
go that route.”
Dorothea Cody, her husband, Roland,
and their seven children have lived since
2003 in the Rutgers Houses development
on the Lower East Side, just north of the
Manhattan Bridge. Their crumbling bath-
room causes constant leaks in the apartment
next door, occupied by the elderly Mrs.
Chen.
“She gets flooded every time we take a
shower.” Cody said. “After we shower, she’s
mopping up a quart of water.”
Chen wasn’t available for comment, but
Cody described her neighbor’s conditions:
“The wall is so damp, it feels like cardboard.
All of the tile on her floor is up — it’s not
puckering, it’s up. And her hallway wall is
tilting forward. She just had new tiles laid
again. It looks horrible.”
The Codys have their own maintenance
problems to deal with. Moldy plaster from
the ceiling and walls falls on them when they
flush the toilet in their main bathroom.
“There’s a busted pipe in the wall — they
constantly fix the bricks over and over, and
get the same result in less than six months,”
she said.
NYCHA has visited three or four times
since the spring.
“They come in and have a look and they
say, ‘Oh, that’s the plasterer’s job,’ ” she said.
“And it’s never done.”
“The unions have rules the workers have
to abide by, so they can’t always call in a
plumber and then a plasterer in the right
order,” explained Victor Bach, a policy ana-
lyst with the Community Service Society, a
nonprofit advocacy and research organiza-
tion for low-income New Yorkers.
According to the Codys, there was a time
when NYCHA’s repair system was more
efficient.
“If they came in and saw what needed
to be done, it was fixed right away,” said
Dorothea Cody. “Now, when you call, they
contradict one another. No one is consis-
tent.”
Finally, an inspector from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development, which has a role in regular
oversight of all NYCHA properties, visited
the site a few weeks ago.
“They said the mildew conditions were
unsafe, and we put in an order,” Cody said.
November 25 - December 1, 2010 7
But the renovations will not come anytime
soon.
In the meantime, they face health risks.
According to Dr. Licht, “Mold has spores,
and spores act as allergens,” often leading to
asthma and other respiratory conditions.
As a short-term fix, Cody sprays her walls
with Lysol, putting a towel over her nose to
avoid inhaling the mold.
“I run out of the bathroom and close the
door, so when I go back inside all those black
mold spots are off the wall and the ceiling,”
she said.
Long-term inhalation of mold can lead
to an inflammation of the lungs, according
to the National Institute of Health. Indeed,
Cody reported that her allergies have gotten
progressively worse over the years.
“I’ve taken more allergy medicine this
year than any year ever,” she said, noting
that it’s the first year she has taken prescrip-
tion drugs for her symptoms.
The Codys had another appointment with
New Music

15, but they feared it would just be another

“There was nothing wrong with my throat
until I came here,” she said, suspecting it is
related to the conditions.
Eliana Colon, another Seward Park
Extension resident, won’t step foot into her
kitchen, sickened by a putrid smell coming
from a gaping hole above the cabinets. The
stench comes from mold caused by a leak that
has persisted for months.
Eliana’s son Alfredo, who often stays over-
night to care for her, said, “We called [the
emergency hotline]. The first time they came,
they make a little hole to investigate the leak.”
That was last February.
Another handyman visited in June, making
an even bigger hole in an attempt to stop the
dripping.
“The guy took a look and said, ‘Oh my
God’ — then he went upstairs and never came
back,” Alfredo said.
Fungus is now growing in the cabinets, and
the wall below it is soaked in water, making
cooking in the kitchen no longer an option.
“I have to buy takeout food for her,”
Alfredo said.
The Colons’ next repair appointment is
scheduled for June 2011. In the meantime,
Eliana is considering withholding rent as she

“Anything that stays damp creates an
environment for mold to grow,” Dr. Licht
said. “People who are affected most are the

very young and the very old, and people
who already have a diagnosis of asthma.”
According to NYCHA, a lack of funding
is a major problem, affecting the agency’s
ability to keep up with repairs on its 344
developments throughout the city.
Annual underfunding “adds to our
structural deficit and hampers the author-
ity’s ability to meet the maintenance needs
of our aging housing stock,” explained
Michael Kelly, NYCHA’s general manager,
at a recent public hearing.
In 2005, the Housing Authority antici-
pated a $7.5 billion need for apartment
repairs. Today, however, only one-fifth of
those funds is available — not nearly
enough for the thousands of work orders
the agency receives each year. Since 2005,
repair requests have continued to soar,
reaching 250,000 last year, while NYCHA’s
budget was further battered by the reces-
sion. The authority currently has a backlog
of 107,000 work orders, some of which are
scheduled for 2012 and 2013.
Tenant advocates, such as Judith
Goldiner, supervising attorney at the Legal
Aid Society, also believe the problem is
compounded by NYCHA’s mismanagement
of the funds it does have. The authority is
spending excessively on job training, social
services and sanitation, Goldiner said, while
neglecting fundamental maintenance of the
developments.
“They’re required to provide decent
housing. All the rest of it is kind of window
dressing,” said Goldiner. “There’s a lot of
ways that they could save money in their

budget and redirect it toward what really
needs to happen here.”
Kelly announced at the hearing that
NYCHA is trying to do just that: He said
the agency is looking into re-appropriating
$7 million in capital funds for repairs and
re-evaluating its capital program.
But it can be a vicious cycle: The less
the authority invests on its developments’
aging infrastructure, the greater the need
for individual repairs.
“The serious repair needs are coming
from the backlog of unmet capital improve-
ments,” explained Victor Bach, a housing
policy analyst at the Community Service
Society. “With that kind of backlog, you
have accelerated deterioration.”
In 2005 NYCHA created a centralized
call center to streamline repair services
across the city. The center operates from 6
a.m. to midnight on weekdays and has an
electronic ticketing system that schedules
repairs based on urgency.
Major emergencies, such as gas leaks,
elevator outages or floods, are typically
attended to within 48 hours. But the tenant
still has to schedule a follow-up appoint-
ment through the call center for patch-
up work on the walls or for a floor job.
Residents of several Lower East Side devel-
opments believe the system is inefficient.
“They just pass the buck from one work-
er to another, and nothing ever gets done,”
said Rutgers Houses tenant Dorothea Cody,
who has had a leak in her bathroom for
years.
Tenants at Smith Houses and the other
Lower East Side developments are filling
out report cards that ask them to assess
NYCHA’s operations. So far, the call center
has received an “F” for timeliness and a “C”
for overall reliability.
A shortage of union tradesmen is also
making the situation worse. The total num-
ber of painters, carpenters and plasterers
available to NYCHA dropped from 805
in 2005 to 765 this year, according to a
NYCHA report obtained by this newspa-
per.
Meanwhile, the number of individual
lawsuits against NYCHA over repairs has
escalated in the last six months, according
to the Legal Aid Society. And some tenants
are withholding rent, or threatening to do
so, until NYCHA fixes their apartments
— which could jeopardize their housing
status.
“It’s a dangerous situation because when
you do that, you really risk getting evicted,
and you also risk being blacklisted” by

Last March, NYCHA got a welcome
infusion of roughly $1 billion from
President Obama’s American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 that, starting this
fall, is being distributed to the developments
for basic repairs over the next 15 years. The
authority also received a separate allocation
of $423 million from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Development for capital
expenses, including elevator repairs, boiler
replacements and energy efficiency projects

N.Y.U.’s towering blunder inspires us to fight on
TALKING POINT
BY MIRIAM KAPLAN
I want to say that this statement from
Mr. Pei is extraordinary good news. Not just
because New York University has been defeat-
ed on the landmarks issue. But more impor-
tantly, because it shows how completely N.Y.U.
miscalculated in this regard.
In all of our statements at the Community
Board 2 hearings, we danced around the rea-
sons for objecting to the fourth tower. We were
addressing many important issues — in truth,
not so clearly and starkly as the statement from
Henry Cobb does — but we were on target.
And yet N.Y.U. couldn’t or wouldn’t hear
the message.
With all their high-priced consultants
— architects and lawyers — they couldn’t
see how wrong they were about the overall
design of the block. And they substituted all
that foolish talk about dialogue for a true
recognition of the spatial relations.
And in that is a great hope to take us for-
ward. Just as N.Y.U. was blind with regard
to aesthetics, they are blind to the intent of
zoning. And it is that blindness that will defeat
them in the end.
So far, it doesn’t look like we will have
someone like Pei to come forward on a white
charger in the coming battle — though who
knows what may happen?
In the meantime, we move on with the con-

fidence that we do see things more clearly than
N.Y.U. does; and with the sure knowledge that
these high-priced lawyers and architects are
really only hired to see to the accomplishment
of the will of those that hire them, and not to
defer to excellence where it exists.
I have been studying the history of N.Y.U.
this week: For the university campus and for
several buildings around the square they had
the services of Stanford White; for Bobst they
had Philip Johnson; for the south superblock
they had I.M. Pei — all of them great architects,
who had a vision about what the architectural
face of a great university should be and who
had a tabula rasa on which to work.
For Plan 2031, N.Y.U.’s biggest redesign
effort — probably since its former University
Heights campus in the Bronx — the architects
were constrained to work within an existing
context. N.Y.U. hired big guns. But an existing
context is not a proper arena for great archi-
tects who have their own vision and ego.
What N.Y.U. got was a plan that clashed as
badly as plaid with floral print.
What was needed were not-so-great archi-
tects — people who could subsume their ego
and come up with a design for new buildings
that integrated with the existing landscape.
That the architects could not see the ugliness
of their plans (not just the Pei block, but even
more so the Washington Square Village block)
is a serious mark against them, no matter how
high their ratings. That no one at N.Y.U. could
see the ugliness of the plans and reject them on

New school with British accent
BY ALBERT AMATEAU
A new private elementary school for chil-
dren 3 to 11 years old, World Class Learning
Academy, an affiliate of British Schools of
America, is opening next year in the East
Village at E. Second St. at Second Ave., in
the former LaSalle Academy.
The school is enrolling 3-year-olds for
its nursery school, opening in January 2011,
and is accepting applications for children
ages up to 11 for the rest of the school,
which will open in September, said John
Taylor, headmaster.
“We are the only school in the city to offer
the International Primary Curriculum —
based on the numeracy and literacy program
of the English National Curriculum,” Taylor
said. The English National Curriculum is the
standard primary-school curriculum in the
United Kingdom, Taylor explained.
The English connection goes further.

absolutely destroy any sense of common com-
munity; closing the garage on the Washington
Square Village block and replacing it with
parking on the Pei block, with no mention of
how Washington Square Village’s residents
are to get from the garage to their buildings
— even if an entrance were to be provided on
Bleecker St., there would still be a minimum of
the equivalent of a three-block walk in the open
from the garage to 1 and 2 Washington Square
Village.
That top-class architects would sign off on
such a design — which effectively destroys
an existing residential community that pro-
vides some blessed open space in an open-
space-starved part of the city — just to sat-
isfy the expansionist plans of N.Y.U. reflects
poorly on them. They may be world-class
but their behavior is that of hacks who go along
with anything just to get the commission.
Getting back to Cobb’s statement:
Just because we have this good news,
we cannot relax. But we can go for-
ward, in the full confidence that an army
is going to form behind us. Because I certainly
believe that people will come out from the
woodwork to support us — now that they
have the confirmation that N.Y.U. so mis-
judged this one issue.

ton Square Village Tenants Association’s

noting that Prince Michael of Kent, a cousin
of Queen Elizabeth II, will preside at the
opening ceremony next year.
The new school has renovated 50,000
square feet of the building at 44 E. Second
St., which it has leased from LaSalle, the
all-boys Catholic high school. LaSalle is now
sharing the building at 215 E. Sixth St. with
St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic elementary
school.
Full-day tuition for the nursery school
will be $22,500 per year; for 4- and 5-year-
olds, the tuition will be $25,500 per year;
and for the upper grades, $31,900 per
year. The half-year tuition for the nursery
school in January will be $9,400, Taylor
said.

said. “We expect the Department of City
Planning to certify our ULURP application
in the late summer of 2011 to begin a seven-
month review process, including community
board and department meetings and final
City Council approval,” she said.
N.Y.U. decided to drop the tower plan
after Henry Cobb, a partner of the architec-
tural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, sent
a letter to L.P.C. saying that Pei, 93, was
strongly opposed to the proposed tower on
the landmarked portion of the superblock.
University design consultants had said the
additional tower would complement the
“pinwheel” arrangement of the Pei design.
The Cobb letter said in part, “A fourth
tower is profoundly destructive of the land-
marked entity because it closes a composition
that was intended to be open and upsets the
carefully considered balance between solid and
void. It also seriously compromises the gener-
ous visibility of Picasso’s Bust of Sylvette.”
Cobb also said the alternative proposal
on the Morton Williams site was “unattract-
ive as represented in [N.Y.U.’s] filing, but as
an as-of-right building…is nonetheless pref-
erable to the proposed fourth tower. Ideally,
the corner building would be designed so as
to make it more responsive to its neighbors
and to the landmarked entity.”

director, said he was gratified that the uni-
versity dropped its original plan, “in the face
of overwhelming opposition, including from
I.M. Pei.” However, Berman added, “N.Y.U.’s
insistence on moving ahead with its alterna-
tive plans for a development on the adjacent
non-landmarked supermarket site, as well as

impacts on light and air,

infrastructure and many
other factors.’
Jo Hamilton
the remainder of its massive NYU 2031 plan
to add 2 million square feet of space around
Washington Square Park, shows that the
university still does not get it.”
Berman said N.Y.U. should look to places
like the Financial District to absorb its
growth, and vowed to continue to fight the
university’s plans for the Village.
Jo Hamilton, chairperson of Community
Board 2, said she was surprised and relieved
by the university’s withdrawal of its L.P.C.
application for the 400-foot tower.
“However, we are equally concerned
about the proposal to build on the Morton
Williams site,” she said. “It is immediately
adjacent to 505 LaGuardia Place and the
community garden and just across the street
from Washington Square Village.”
Hamilton said the community board is
now trying to learn exactly what the univer-
sity wants to build and how it would fit in
the ULURP application.
“We will be considering the impacts of
the entire project on light and air, shadows,
wind tunnels, open space, traffic, infrastruc-
ture and many other factors,” she added.
N.Y.U. officials said last week that the
university withdrew its L.P.C. application
as a mark of respect for Pei’s vision and
for L.P.C., which in 2008 granted land-
mark protection to the Pei-designed Silver
Towers plaza with three 300-foot-tall towers
around the 36-foot-tall, sculptural rendering
of Picasso’s “Bust of Sylvette.”
The original N.Y.U. plan called for a hotel
in the 400-foot tower, and the university
intends to include hotel uses in an as-yet-
undecided location in the larger project.
Hurley said, “Our former proposal had
four buildings and our new proposal has
four buildings. With the withdrawal of the
application for the tower on the landmarked
site, we will keep all of the proposed uses,

including hotel and housing, in the mix.”
Lynne Brown, N.Y.U. senior vice presi-
dent, said in a prepared statement, “From
the beginning, we sought a design for the
Silver Towers block that was most respect-
ful of Mr. Pei’s vision. Some people dis-
agreed with our approach, others agreed.
We believed that among those who agreed
was Mr. Pei himself, who expressed no
opposition to the concept of a tower on
the landmarked site when we spoke to
him directly in 2008. Mr. Pei has now had
a change of heart. The clarity Mr. Pei has
now provided that the Morton Williams
site is preferable is helpful to us in under-
standing how to proceed with our uniform
land-use review procedure proposal.”
Cobb said this week that although he
was not present at the 2008 conversation
between Pei and N.Y.U., he has spoken to
Pei and other people who were there.
“Mr. Pei made no comment on the fourth
tower plan. On that issue he was silent,”
Cobb told this newspaper on Monday. Cobb
noted that the conversation occurred shortly
before L.P.C. designated the Silver Towers
complex a city landmark in November 2008
— two and a half years before N.Y.U. applied
to L.P.C. for approval of the fourth tower.
“The letter I wrote to the L.P.C. was nar-
rowly focused and carefully written, and the
only reason we commented was because we
felt obliged to comment on any alteration to
the landmarked site,” Cobb said.

EDITORIAL
Hope for SPURA
After decades of inertia at the Seward Park Urban
Renewal Area, on the Lower East Side south of the
Williamsburg Bridge, the makings of a viable develop-
ment scheme are taking shape. Where six blocks have
lain vacant, occupied by open-air parking lots, there are
now visions of housing and commercial development,
and much-needed jobs and economic development.
It must be stressed that what exists now are only guide-
lines, not a plan, per se. But Community Board 3 — which
has been spearheading this process for the past several
years — is indeed now working toward a final plan.
The guidelines were presented Nov. 16 at C.B. 3’s Land
Use, Zoning, Public and Private Housing Committee.
Basically, they call for a mixed-use project, with equal
parts residential and commercial development. There
would be 800 to 1,000 units of housing. Under one pos-
sible scenario, the mix could include 40 percent market-
rate, 30 percent moderate and middle-income, 20 percent
low-income and 10 percent senior housing.
No retail spaces would be larger than 30,000 square
feet, effectively excluding big-box stores, though a
supermarket of larger size would be allowed. A movie
theater and parking space would also be included.
In addition, although they weren’t in the original
1965 renewal plan, C.B. 3 is also including in its rede-
velopment concept the four Essex St. Market buildings,
between Stanton and Houston Sts.
Leading the C.B. 3 committee on the renewal area
is David McWater. McWater, when he was board
chairperson, initiated the community-led, contextual
East Village / Lower East Side rezoning approved by
the city two years ago, which put height caps on new
development. He’s confident the SPURA plan will also
win approval.
Next month, the SPURA guidelines will be fleshed
out at C.B. 3, and it’s hoped the board will vote on the
concept in January. But there’s still far to go. The city will
need to do an environmental impact statement (E.I.S.),
then a uniform land-use review procedure (ULURP),
then issue requests for proposals (R.F.P.’s) to get devel-
opers for the 10 various sites. All this could take three
years, and, of course, construction would be phased in
over many years. McWater stressed it’s important to get
the approval process completed before Mayor Bloomberg
leaves office — since who knows what could happen
under a new administration? Whatever consensus has
been painstakingly built over the past two years could
evaporate.
The renewal plan itself has expired. But McWater
said, the city will give priority to former renewal-area
residents who seek to return and get affordable hous-
ing, if their income meets requirements.
In 2003, the city pitched a SPURA proposal with a
mix of housing, including 400 low- and middle-income
units. That plan was scrapped due to vehement com-
munity opposition. In contrast, this current process has
been community driven.
The key will be getting the area’s local elected officials
onboard, namely Councilmember Margaret Chin and
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. While many residents
of the Grand St. co-ops, where Silver lives, have his-
torically resisted SPURA’s development, opposing more
affordable housing, the co-ops’ residential mix has been
changing, getting younger, more diverse. There’s new
sentiment for movement on these eyesore blocks.
Now that a new, consensus plan is materializing, it’s
incumbent on Chin and Silver to engage and support the
process. If not, a golden opportunity will be lost; who
knows what sort of plan for SPURA will be proposed in
some future round, if any? It’s time for Chin and Silver
to help shepherd this long-paralyzed project through to
fruition. That would be a legacy to be proud of.

To The Editor:
Re “East Side, West Side, park improvements all around;
It’s a green golden age” (Progress Report article, by Adrian
Benepe, Nov. 18):
What Commissioner Benepe’s “Green and Golden Age”
refers to is green for the money and gold for the profits he is
funneling to corporations, BID’s and park conservancies at
the public’s expense. He is the commissioner of park privati-
zation; a real estate agent trying to get the highest price per
square foot for our public parks.
Free speech, artists’ rights and public use of the parks are
the collateral victims of this real estate scam that puts giant
holiday vending markets in the most crowded parks, and
luxury condos in new parks. Soon enough, he’ll have all the
trees removed from Union Square Park because they take up
valuable space needed by park concessions.

Re “The peddling of pedaling and those pesky pedestri-

I used to be a biker and was terrified to bike on the
streets. Thus, I had to limit my pedaling to the parks, and to
get there I would have to walk my bike on sidewalks. I would
have certainly welcomed a bike lane.
I no longer bicycle, and am now mostly a pedestrian or
bus rider. Bikes scare me to death. They come zooming out
of nowhere when I cross the street, completely ignoring red
lights.
What to do? Bike lanes are not the problem — prop-
erly used, they could be a boon. But, wherever they bike, if
cyclists don’t obey the rules, they are a danger. I don’t really
understand Meltzer’s objection to the lanes. If there weren’t
lanes, wouldn’t the bikers be on the streets instead, posing
the same menace as they do in the lanes?

The situation is astonishingly weird already in the East

solving the problems most of us have with this ditzy plan.
I personally want more bikes and more, more mass tran-

I want cyclists (and I also want them regulated, fined,

POLICE BLOTTER
Guilty of murder
A Manhattan jury on Thurs., Nov. 18,
found Jeromie Cancel, 24, guilty of the
August 2008 strangling murder of Kevin
Pravia, 19, a Pace University student, in
Pravia’s Chelsea apartment. The jury delib-
erated a day and a half after the end of the
trial, which began Nov. 5, before they ren-
dered the guilty verdict. Cancel encountered
Pravia near Union Square Park and went
him to Pravia’s apartment at 239 W. 15th
St., where he garroted him with an electric
cord while the victim was asleep, according
to the charges. Pravia, an honors student
in the Lubin School of Business at Pace’s
campus near City Hall, had last been seen
by friends getting into a cab at Gold and
Fulton Sts. after a party. Cancel was arrested
three days later after burglarizing his father’s
home in Queens. He told police at the time
how he killed Pravia while watching a hor-
ror film. Cancel’s lawyer, Michael Alperstein,
failed to have the confession excluded as evi-
dence. State Supreme Court Justice Daniel
Fitzgerald is to sentence Cancel on Fri.,

L.E.S. serial burglar
Police are looking for a suspect they
identified as Irving Walker, 40, for 13 bur-
glaries on the Lower East Side from Oct.
12 to Nov.15. The suspect entered the front
door of apartments on Madison St. between
Rutgers and Catherine Sts.; East Broadway
between Pike and Rutgers Sts.; and Eldridge
and Forsyth Sts between Hester and Grand
Sts., mostly during the early morning hours,
police said.
The suspect often woke sleeping resi-
dents during the burglaries, police said.
Police described Walker as a 6-foot-tall, 210-
pound, black man whose last known address
was 2636 University Ave., Bronx.
He is suspected in the following bur-
glaries: 133 East Broadway on Oct. 12; 33
Catherine St. on Oct. 14; 120 Madison St.
on Oct. 18; 7 Monroe St. on Oct. 22; 105
Henry St. on Oct. 25; and 114 Madison St.
on Oct. 26.
On Nov. 3 he entered an apartment at
122 Madison St. at 2:10 a.m., and entered a
residence at 69 Eldridge St. the same day at
5:10 a.m. He is also a suspect in burglaries
at 201 Madison St. on Nov. 7, 113 Madison
St. on Nov. 11, 75 Madison St. on Nov. 13,
215 Madison St. on Nov. 14, and 74 Forsyth
St. on Nov. 15.
Bad samaritan
A visitor from Florida exited the subway
station at Canal and Varick Sts. around 5
p.m. Sun., Nov. 14, to discover that her
parents, who had been on the train with
her, were nowhere to be seen. A stranger
stopped her and said, “You look lost. Let’s
look around on our tiptoes,” and then took
her by the wrist. The stranger then grabbed
the woman’s wallet from a strap on her wrist
and fled. The victim, 38, lost $68 in cash,
credit cards and her Florida diver’s license,
police said.
A washout
A man entered Savon, the specialty
soap boutique at 78 Seventh Ave. near
14th St., around 5 p.m. Fri., Nov. 19, and
told the saleswoman, “This is a robbery.
Give me your money,” police said. The
woman thought it was a joke and burst
out laughing, but the intruder put his hand
in his pocket simulating a gun and said,
“Give me the money or I’m going to kill
you.” But the woman pushed the burglary
button behind the counter and the robber
fled, police said.
‘This is a stickup’
Police are looking for a man involved
in the robbery of two Greenwich Village
bank branches last month. The suspect,
described as a heavyset white man, 5 feet
10 inches tall, between 55 and 60 years
old, with wavy gray hair, walked into the
Capital One bank, at 21 University Place,
around 11:10 a.m. Tues., Oct. 5, told the
teller, “Let me get my wallet out,” and then
tossed a black plastic bag on the counter.
“This is a stickup. No dye, right?” he added.
The teller began filling the bag with bait
money, whose serial numbers are recorded,
while the robber said, “You know what to
do. Good job.” The thief put the bag of
money in his coat pocket and fled south on
University Place, police said.
On Fri., Oct. 22, a man with the same
description walked into the HSBC branch,
at 576 Hudson St. at W. 11th St., at 11:34
a.m. He filled out a bank slip at the side
counter and then walked up to a teller, put a
black bag under the window and said, “This
is a stickup. Give me the money.” The teller
pushed the bag back out empty and the rob-
ber walked out and fled, police said.
Perry St. burglar
A witness who saw a man climb
through a window at 80 Perry St. at 6:05
p.m. Sun., Nov. 14, and climb out again
a few minutes later, called police, who
arrested Aniyah Simone, 16. The sus-
pect had credit cards and debit cards, a

In the empty underbelly of the beast, street art lurks

The Underbelly Project, an illegal show of street art, curated by street artists PAC and Workhorse, fills the inside of an abandoned Brooklyn subway station. The project began
in 2009. Artists, 103 in all, were escorted into the space individually to create their works. According to the project’s Web site, “Unobstructed by the pressures of commercial
sales, e-mail or daily routines, each artist painted one full night.” (There’s definitely no e-mail, since four stories belowground in the century-old station, there’s no WiFi.) It’s
one of the largest shows of such pieces ever mounted in one place. Many of the contributors are significant figures in both the street-art world and the commercial trade that
now revolves around it. Following the space’s opening to select viewers earlier this month, police have made at least 20 arrests of people sneaking in or out. It’s not that
surprising — given that the old station is located underneath a police precinct. Police have said there are no plans to remove the artwork.

Pacino ‘very good’ — but ‘Merchant’ misses the point
Tallmer ranks four Shylocks, wonders what Mostel would have done
THEATER
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Daniel Sullivan
Through Jan. 9, 2011
At The Broadhurst Theatre (235 W. 44th St.)
For tickets ($66.50-$136.50), call 212-239-6200
BY JERRY TALLMER
Believe it or don’t, but I am not old enough
to have seen the great Jacob Adler’s astonish-
ing 1902-03 performance as a Shylock who
spoke only Yiddish throughout a Broadway
production of “The Merchant of Venice” in
which all around him were speaking elegant
Elizabethan English.
That in itself was a point sharply made:
“The Merchant of Venice” is bad for the
Jews. Is good for the Jews. Is both.
Al Pacino can never be accused of bom-
barding us with either Yiddish or high-
flown-sounding English. He just gives us a
Shylock of high Pacino intensity and a lot of
motion — Jews and Italians do a great deal
of speaking with their hands, so the legend
goes — and high Pacino intensity is compel-
ling enough to make anyone, even me, want
to rush to The Broadhurst Theatre to see
how he, and it — this outdoor “Merchant”
brought indoors — makes out.
He: Very good. It: Not so good.
First place, the costuming. The gentle-
men of the Rialto in sort of stiff, dark,
wide-shouldered Ad Age business suits circa
1950, the idea being to prove once more
for the thousandth time that Shakespeare is
really really relevant, even now.
The women — well, Portia — in sort of
high school prom gowns circa 1955, when
Joseph Papp’s Public Theater to be — then
the Shakespearean Workshop Theater — was
just setting forth in such inexpensive plum-
age on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Relevance? If “If you prick us, do we
not bleed?” isn’t relevant, now and forever,
what is?
Second place, the setting. I don’t know
where we would be these days without skel-
etal expressionistic (impressionistic?) stage
sets constructed of metal piping and such-
like, rods and joints and slabs and chicken
wire and nuts and bolts; nothing more than
giant cages, really.
“Like a prison,” an acquaintance sug-
gests. Exactly. But there are no prisons in
“The Merchant of Venice” unless you mean
that all Venice is (was) a prison — at least
for Jews. But we already knew that, didn’t
Al Pacino ‘gives us a Shylock of high Pacino intensity and a lot of motion.’
we?
There must have been, in theater, such
huge cage-like settings going back into the
Twenties and even earlier — but the first
ones to thrust themselves into my aware-
ness were when Julian and Judith’s Living
Theatre came back from exile abroad to a
1968 repertoire at the Brooklyn Academy of
Music with their “Frankenstein” and other
such disturbances of the peace.
Third place, the acting. Pacino is busy-
busy-busy, dashing all over the stage — but
his Shylock is also a good and deeply seri-
ous individual. He wants to dig up and
examine not just his own humanity but
whatever humanity must somewhere exist
within all these despicable bullying goyim

who spit upon his gabardine and call him
“dog” three times a week and twice on
Sundays, even as they haughtily apply for
a fatal loan.
At the Broadhurst Theatre I could hardly
tell one of these good lads from the other.
They were each trying so strenuously to
speak that elegant Elizabethan English, in
contradistinction of the whole Joe Papp idea
of bringing Shakespeare alive and well and
organically to our own populace.
From Pacino’s lips I heard every syl-
lable loud and clear. So much for those
who deplore (a) method acting, (b) the
late Lee Strasberg — Pacino’s beloved
mentor.
The other male actors in this endeav-

or? Indifferent to indistinguishable. One
is the show’s Bassanio (David Harbour).
He’s the heavy who needs the dough,
almost gets his buddy carved up for the
sake of those 3,000 on-demand ducats
and then wins the girl who won the case,
only to betray her in the next minute by
giving away that ring she’d given him.
Another is that most obliging buddy,
Antonio (Byron Jennings). In director
Daniel Sullivan’s staging, these two chaps
spend an awful lot of time periodically
clenched in one another’s arms, staring
into one another’s eyes.
I’m fully aware that Shakespeare has
Bassanio more than once employ the word
“love” in passages like:
To you, Antonio,
I owe the most, in money and in love,
And from your love I have a warranty —
To unburden all my plots and purposes
How to get clear of all the debts I owe...
One footnote. At the Broadhurst these
days and nights, Al Pacino is the shortest
male on stage. I imagine this was deliber-
ate casting: the Little Jew, dashing here
and there among these giant gentiles.
As for the ladies, Portia is a bifurcated
role (half merciless ingenious mercy-quot-
ing lawyer, half idiot love-struck teensy-
weensy) that has defeated more than one
actress over the ages. I don’t know if it
defeats Lily Rabe, because, if I could
hear every syllable of Pacino’s, I could
fully decipher not one of hers until she
exploded — over-exploded — as the trial
of Antonio and/or Shylock begins. For the
rest, her unfortunate output was rather
like duck quacks.
Unfortunate, too — I guess the word is
gratuitous — is the interjected acting-out
of the punishing baptism of Shylock, in
the dark, like a mime show, complete with
splashing water. Pacino took his baptism
and scuttled off, as did the play when
all those Christian gentlefolk repaired to
revel and romance at Belmont. I am sorry
to have to confess that, even if it con-
tains some of the most exquisite poetry
in Shakespeare (“On such a night…”),
this whole courtship half of the play has
always bored the socks off me.
I mean the Belmont subplot, caskets
and all. Or is Shylock just a subplot?
Oy oy oy, there’s the rub. Over the
years I have seen four Shylocks: Boris
Tumarin, 1962 (at Off-Broadway’s no
longer existant Gate Theater); George C.
Scott, also 1962, ripping a passion to tat-
ters in Central Park; Dustin Hoffman on
Broadway, 1989 — methodical, reason-

CHITA RIVERA AT BIRDLAND
Too bad the charismatic, won’t-coast-
on-her-legacy Chita Rivera is like Christmas
— because we wish she’d come around (to
Birdland) more than once a year. Her most
recent concert there, in 2009, was a nearly
90-minute intermissionless lesson on how
to work a crowd, sell a song and earn an
audience’s love and respect (even though
it was hers for the taking from the moment
she set her tiny feet and toned gams on the
stage). Ever the seasoned pro, it’s likely this
week’s two-night/four-show gig will deliver
the same dishy pre-song patter that gave

ELEANOR REISSA CELEBRATES
HANUKKAH
Humor, pathos and inclusiveness get
equal sharing on a bill headlined by Tony
nominee and international artist Eleanor
Reissa — in her only NYC appearance this
season. Hailed as one of the world’s most
gifted interpreters of Yiddish song, Reissa
is accompanied by a band of musical lumi-
naries under the direction of Frank London
(of the Klezmatics). Marty Confurius on
the upright bass, Rex Benincasa on per-
cussion and drums, slide trombone player
Brian Drye and pianist/accordion player
Patrick Farrell bring their talents to the
table, as Reissa breezes through an after-
noon of Hanukkah songs and musical gems
from the Yiddish theater — including Abe
Ellstein’s “Abi Gezint” and “Oy Mama
Am I in Love.” Those who aren’t fluent
in Yiddish (and aren’t even Jewish) won’t
be left in the dark: Reissa will intersperse
Yiddish selections with songs like “Que
Sera, Sera,” “Brother, Can You Spare a
Dime?” and even “Yankee Doodle.” Sun.,
Dec. 12, 2:30 p.m., at the Museum of

CHANUKAH WONDERLAND
What happens for eight consecutive

sizzling latkes, delicious donuts, meno-

prizes galore? The answer’s not exactly a
brain teaser, given that this is a Chanukah
(Hanukkah?) listing. But one thing’s for
sure — the fact that this particular celebra-
tion is jam-packed with fun (and maybe
some jam for those latkes?) is a no-brain-

LECTURE: INVESTIGATING
MANHATTAN’S MOST HAUNTED
HOUSE
The Merchant’s House Museum
delivers a unique trip back in time all
year long — but from October through
December, they’re especially busy. A vari-
ety of holiday-themed fare is coming
soon. But before the calendar page turns
to December, MHM hosts one last para-
normal-centric event (which acknowl-
edges its well-earned reputation as the
most haunted house in Manhattan). For
three years, paranormal investigator Dan
Sturges has been collecting startling evi-
dence which makes a convincing case
that something intriguing, strange and
(so far) unexplained is happening here.
Is it the work of former Tredwell family
residents and servants reaching out from
the final frontier? The skeptical Sturges
won’t say — he does invite you to draw
your own conclusions after learning about
his investigative techniques and hearing
recordings of disembodied voices and
viewing photos containing orbs of light
and a ghostly silhouette. Tues., Nov. 30, 7

But the best Shylock that could ever be

during tryouts in Philadelphia on the way in
to Broadway with this confounding drama.
His name was Zero Mostel.

BLACK GOLD — THE PASSION OF ALEIJADINHO
Music, dance, mask work, puppetry, poetry and video
projections are used to tell the story of Antonio Francisco
Lisboa (1738-1814) — Baroque sculptor of Brazil. “Black
Gold” is the dramatic account of a man born a slave and
freed at birth by his Portuguese father, a master builder
of churches. Winning Brazil’s Grand Prize at the age of
18, Lisboa became the Michelangelo of his country. His
life parallels the gold rush in the colonial cities and the
development of Brazil in arts, religion and politics, reach-
ing for independence from the Portuguese and its own
identity. Sat., Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Sun., Dec. 5 at 3

The ARChive of Contemporary Music’s Holiday Record

keep two copies of all recordings released in America, and
their collection numbers over two million sound record-
ings). There will be over 20,000 items for sale — but
don’t worry about depleting the permanent collection.
The items are new donations from record companies and
collectors, and there’s not a used, returned or defective
product in the bunch. What you will find, though, will be
collectible LPs priced below book value, hundreds of CDs
priced at $1 to $5 each and cassettes 4 for $1.00. Not
enough? There will also be many hard to find 7” singles,
shelves of new music books, African, Reggae & world-
music releases, Classical LPs (most for 50¢ or LESS),
videos, 60s psychedelic posters, and Sony Yule log DVDs
(just released by Johnny Cash, Mariah Carey and Kenny
Chesney, for $5 each). For the dis-en-vinyled, ARChive’s

G.O.P.’er: Democrats could be in for a close shave

Continued from page 4
Silver said he wasn’t worried.
“No. New York has serious challenges,”
Silver said. “Right now I’m focused on
working with Andrew Cuomo to get New
York’s fiscal crisis under control and get our
economy moving again.”
Meanwhile, Frank Scala, president of the
Albano Republican Club, does feel the tide is,
in fact, starting to turn in favor of the G.O.P.
in both the state and city. A Stuyvesant
Town resident, Scala has in the past run
against former Councilmember Kathryn
Freed and former Assemblymember Steve
Sanders, whose seat Democrat Kavanagh
now holds.
In a heavy Italian accent, Scala spoke
in a phone interview from his E. 30th St.
barbershop, La Scala — “like the opera,”
he noted.
“The Republicans decide to wake up a
little bit,” he said over the sound of whirring
electric shears. “We pick up seven congres-
sional seats in New York State.”
A problem for the G.O.P., though, he
acknowledged, is that New York City voters
tend to back the straight party line.
“New York City go for the Democrats.
They gotta do if the person is good,” he
said, as in, voters should base their decision
on the individual candidate, not solely the
party.
“The Tea Party, it’s O.K., wake up a lot of
people,” Scala said. “I think it’s a good idea.
We gonna be in great shape.”
Randy Credico, another local candi-
date, not an incumbent, didn’t fare too
well running on a third-party line. A stand-
‘The city go for the
Democrats. They gotta do
if the person is good.’
Frank Scala
up comic and former head of the William
Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice, he ran as
a Libertarian against U.S. Senator Chuck
Schumer after failing to qualify for the
Democratic primary. He got 0.6 percent —
or 26,000 votes — on Nov. 2 to Schumer’s
2.7 million votes.
“I lost my interest after Schumer and the
state Democratic Party knocked me off the
Democratic primary ballot,” Credico said. “I
lost even more interest when I was restricted
to one box on the ballot, even though I was
nominated by two parties. The judge ruled
in my favor but stayed the decision till
after the election. I am writing a scathing
retrospective on the process, particularly
on the spiritually and corrupt Democratic
Party of New York, which is anything but
democratic. As Senator Charles Sumner said
in 1854, ‘A politician loyal to a party cannot
be trusted.’ ”
Unlike Gottfried, former Mayor Ed Koch
said he does believe in term limits for both
city and state elected officials. On Nov. 2,
in a stinging rebuke to the City Council and
Mayor Bloomberg, New York City voters
strongly backed returning to a limit of two
terms, overturning the Council’s legislative
extension of term limits in 2008. But Koch
said he supports a limit of three terms, not
two.
SCOOPY’S NOTEBOOK

will drop $100 a month and can’t be raised.
It’s about time he got it, since he’s 77 and
qualified for it 15 years ago. Ray once again
is amazed by his super staffer Eryn, who not
only single-handedly saws up and demolishes
old refrigerators for him, but biked all the
way Downtown several times to get the neces-
sary paperwork so he could get his SCRIE.
CORRECTION: The article on the new
Through his New York Uprising group,
Koch has been leading the push for reform
in Albany. In the state Senate, with 62 seats,
all but eight members have signed onto the
Uprising pledge; in the Assembly, with 150
seats, 83 have signed.
“So we have a majority in both Houses,”
Koch said. The pledge calls for three spe-
cific things: independent redistricting, ethics
reform and a GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles) balanced budget. So
far, though, Silver has failed to sign onto
the pledge.
“Ultimately, I don’t give up,” Koch said,
“and hope that I’ll be able to get Shelly to
join the reform movement.”
High Line maintenance-and-operation build-
ing in our Progress Report section last
week incorrectly stated that the Downtown
Whitney Museum would be completed at the
same time as the adjacent, planned “M-&-
O” building, in mid-2013. While the article
was correct in saying the Gansevoort St.
museum’s groundbreaking is scheduled for
May 2011 — just six months away! — setting
the record straight, museum spokesperson
Stephen Soba said, “The Whitney has no
intention of completing construction by 2013.
Our planned date of completion is 2015.”
