A resident writes in this morning to note the noise coming from the former P.S. 64/CHARAS/El Bohio community center on Ninth Street. "Sound of power tools, chute (pictured) and dumpster — is Gregg Singer gutting the place?"
Yes, it appears the work continues to turn the school into University House at Tompkins Square Park.
According to marketing materials for the building: [It's] "currently undergoing a complete renovation including new building systems, core and shell. The property is zoned R8-B. The property is ideal for schools, universities, museums, college dormitories, medical offices, hospital, foundations, nonprofit institutions and related facilities."

isn't this the building that once the owner knew it was up for landmark designation, he stripped the facade of its beauty and was thus, home free to pillage it for profit? Maybe not...
Yep, Ken. Gregg Singer.
The Villager has covered this story quite a bit.
