"I'm all for landmarking buildings of historical significance, but do it before the buildings are f'n crumbling (in the case of Admiral's Row) or the building has been Frankenstein'd to death with shitty doors, horrendous roofing, and a rollgate which is presumably hiding a crappy aluminum and glass storefront! Don't wait until it's in a developer's hands and then said, 'oh wait, we were going to let this crumble by itself, but since you own it and want to make money off of the long non-landmarked invesetment you made, we're going to attempt to landmark it.'"?cmwallwater [Council Votes 4-1 Against 135 Bowery in Landmarks Dispute]
