Developer Gregg Singer's plans to convert the historic P.S. 64 on East 10th Street into a dorm have been halted by the Department of Buildings. A Stop Work Order was issued because the department found that Singer provided the agency with misinformation. The DOB had approved Singer's application to have prospective tenant Joffrey Ballet Center Concert Group Program "considered a not-for-profit with housing accommodations as opposed to a dormitory," but GCP is not a nonprofit and the lease did not meet the DOB's requirements for educational institutions. Whoops! [EVG; previously]
