The former Mary Help of Christians property in the East Village at Avenue A between East 11th and 12th streets was supposed to hold a 7-story, 158-unit rental building with 22 affordable apartments. Not anymore. Developer Douglas Steiner decided that he wants to build 82 condos instead, and they will all be market rate. The community board is pissed, with one person calling the switcheroo "total bullshit." [EVG; previously]
