[Info] St. Claire’s Hospital
May 17th, 2010Neighbors,
The HK5051 Neighborhood Association, which encompasses West 50th and 51st Streets, will be holding a big neighborhood meeting on Thursday, May 27 at 6:30 PM to discuss the abandoned St. Vincent’s hospital on 51st between 9th and 10th.
This is a HUGE issue for the neighborhood. There’s massive flooding in the building, rats have appeared in neighbor’s apartments, mosquitoes have arrived due to the standing water in the buildings, homeless people are breaking into the building, police have shown up several times and rushed into the building for unknown reasons, etc.
The landlord would like to develop the building, but can’t get their next construction loan from the bank. The landlord is also having problems finding a commercial tenant for the building. This is a MASSIVE complex. We are wondering if this would be a good location for another hospital, a medical center, an office complex, a school, etc.
Our meeting on Thursday, May 27 will be focused on discussing how we as neighbors can not only get the landlord to properly secure the building, but also help the landlord figure out a good use for this property!
We hope you can make our meeting. This could be a great opportunity to bring something great to our neighborhood!
The Residents of West 34th Street

Christine Quinn Dear Ms. Quinn, Quinn@counci1.nyc.gov It is with great concern that we write to you regarding the proposed traffic flow of 34th Street in Manhattan. As owners, voters and tax payers in New York City, we feel that our basic rights and quality of life will be greatly infringed upon with the implementation of the 30 Street Bus Corridor.Our attendance at the April 21st, 34th Street Transit way Open House, left us only with unanswered questions and frustration. As you are aware, the proposed bus corridor will have buses traveling both East and West on the South Side of 34th Street and have cars traveling only West (between 9th and 10th Avenues). Living on 34th Street between 9th and 10th means that we will be forced to endure constant bus traffic, with all of the noise and pollution that comes with it. A Bus Corridor will also mean that all deliveries, dropoffs, and ambulette/disability transportation vehicles, which many of our residents rely on, will be prohibited in front of these residential buildings due to the restrictions imposed by the bus lanes. We are not quite sure how the DOT expects us to live reasonably with these imposed restrictions, not to mention how the elderly and disabled are expected to maneuver through two traffic lanes and two bus lanes. The passing of this Bus Corridor will not only cause great disturbance to hundreds of NY residents who call this neighborhood home, but it will also reduce property values significantly. There must be another solution available to allow buses to flow a bit more smoothly and another way to provide shoppers with a lawn chair to sit in, in front of Macy’s! Over the two years, we have attended meetings and met with representatives at C134 and the DOT. To our disappointment, neither organization could offer us any useful advice. On the contrary, we have been going around in circles between the two organizations! As our local Representative, we are asking for your assistance with this life changing issue. We greatly appreciate knowing that you understand how the passing of the 34th Street Bus Corridor will negatively impact the existence of so many residents. Respectfully Yours, The Residents of West 34th Street |
