With his mayoralty drawing to a close, Mayor Bloomberg is preparing to spend a little more time at home by giving his five-story Beaux Arts limestone mansion at 17 East 79th Street $1.7 million worth of renovations. The house, currently shrouded in construction netting, will have its facade spruced, its rear roof fixed, its exterior re-waterproofed, and its heating and cooling systems updated. The elevator will not be touched. [NYT; previously]
