Stabilization efforts will be taking place today at the former P.S. 64/Charas/El Bohio Community Center ... which means Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C will be closed to through traffic. 

Reps for Q Impact Solutions, which led a presentation about the future of P.S. 64 last month, shared this info:
Contractors plan to be on-site to make immediate repairs at the southeast façade along the Ninth Street frontage of the building. This stabilization/make-safe work will include the infill of an open gap in the terracotta coping and performing repairs to a step-crack where the sloped coping units meet the brick party wall adjacent to the neighboring property. 
We expect the duration of this repair work to last one day. The work will require the use of a boom lift positioned on the street, similar to what was used during the recent façade investigation work in September. Street closure will be necessary for a portion of the day. 

Posted notices state the crane work will occur from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

According to public records, 605 East 9th Community Holdings LLC bought the property from longtime owner Gregg Singer for $57 million in a transaction filed on Jan. 9. 

Discussions are underway to determine the building's future use and the extent to which it will serve the community.

    Just take the building down. They will be patching the building for years until they decide that the building is beyond saving. Look to the future. The future is now.
