5 Village Buildings In Historic Districts Ask To Make Changes

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — Each month Community Board 2 hears multiple applications for construction changes to landmarked buildings and properties within historic districts.

The applications go in front of the community board before they are moved on to the Landmark Preservation Commission.

Here are the five Greenwich Village buildings presenting applications to Community Board 2 on Wednesday.

114 Waverly Place
