Construction site at 421 E. 6th St. now with a 'weekly look ahead'
Some residents living near 421 E. Sixth St., currently undergoing a full-blown renovation, have been unhappy with the ongoing construction noise — particularly the jackhammering.
Last week, a flyer appeared urging residents to email the building's owner, art collector-publisher-paper magnate Peter M. Brant.
Now on the plywood here between Avenue A and First Avenue, there's a "weekly look ahead" schedule that outlines the work taking place, and the hours that this will occur...
According to the sign, the jackhammering inside the main building will be complete on Friday ... "and the larger jackhammering machines will then be demobilized from the site at this point..."
Brant bought the building, the former home-studio of Walter De Maria, for $27 million in August 2014. No. 421 will reportedly serve as an exhibition space for his personal art collection. We haven't heard about any official completion date.

That's decent of them.
Hey look, some communication! Was that so hard?
That's great to have a report like that. Not knowing how long a loud noise is going to continue can make it seem endlessly annoying... As I hear an electric saw and banging going on in the buildings behind mine. Sigh.
