This article details a meeting that was held on Tuesday about saving the old PS 64/CHARAS building… and this part details why developer Gregg Singer is such a bad man:
“In 1998, developer Gregg Singer and his partners paid $3.1 million for P.S. 64 at a public auction conducted by the Giuliani administration. They agreed to maintain it as a ‘community facility.’ The chairman of Community Board 3, David McWater, recalls that residents of the East Village assumed the deed restriction would protect cultural and community groups that had been using the building. Instead, Mr. Singer immediately moved to evict them.”
