The case has been in the courts since 2004, when the Department of Buildings denied Singer a permit to build a 19-story student dorm on the site of the former P.S. 64 on East 9th Street. The school building was landmarked in 2006. 2008-03-26 00:00:00 http://www.plannyc.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Issues&file=index&catid=1&issueid=104#2677 Developer Gregg L. Singer has won a nine-year battle to renovate P.S. 64 in the Lower East Side. A State appellate court ruled that the City had no grounds for refusing Singer a building permit for the crumbling building, which the developer plans to convert into a 19-story dormitory, while preserving the building’s original French Renaissance façade. 2007-06-01 00:00:00
