Some pieces play a functional role in the room’s design: A Lonnie Leonard painting on the bookshelf hides board games and other items Mayden prefers to keep out of sight she focused her hunt on eye-catching materials and one-of-a-kind character a Craigslist find that had previously been installed in a West Hollywood department store in the 1960s Mayden prefers to start fresh each time she moves selling furniture and decor before landing in a new place that will inevitably inspire its own reinvention “I had a party in this space last summer,” she remembers ‘I can’t believe I did it.’ I’d spent so long wanting to live in New York and this is the ultimate manifestation of that dream Mayden made a concentrated effort not to focus her decorating on any specific era or design movement “I moved in in 2022 and I didn’t want the space to scream 2022 in five years,” she explains “I tried to be really conscious that it didn’t reek of any particular trend.” “I needed a huge piece of art to fill this space but I couldn’t afford something that big,” Mayden says “I had a four-by-five picture that my dad took of my grandpa and I had it scanned at really high res and printed huge “I used it as a placeholder for a big piece of art when I first moved in and accidentally grew unironically fond of it.” Not a subscriber?

She added: “This neighborhood has just been a dream to live here, and I feel very sad to leave.” On the first floor, there’s a street-facing south parlor and a rear north parlor with a balcony overlooking the backyard. Many of the home’s original 19th-century details have been preserved, like the crown molding, marble fireplace mantles, and pocket doors. The garden floor features a kitchen with a custom banquette, a three-oven custom range, and top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances. According to the listing, the antique cabinetry was “sourced from a mansion in Ohio and re-engineered with German soft-close hardware.” Plus, there’s a butler’s pantry with a zinc bar sink. Next door is a cozy library with a wood-burning stove and built-in shelving. The bonus room could easily become another bedroom. The New York native, whose new movie “Kinda Pregnant” was released on Netflix last month, said she hired landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh, who designed nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park, to renovate the backyard. “We loved what we moved into,” Schumer told the Journal. “But we’ve definitely made it our own.” Turf replaced the brick patio and a playset with a swing was added. The backyard can also serve as a private, gated parking spot. The primary suite takes up the entire third floor, including a street-facing bedroom with a fireplace, a huge dressing room, and a spa-like bathroom. The bath has a vintage clawfoot tub and a floating glass stand-up shower. The top floor has three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry. In the basement, there’s space for a second laundry area, a gym, and a wine cellar. On a quaint tree-lined block, the home is just minutes from Brooklyn Bridge Park and to the A and C trains at High Street.

In 2019 he pitched a different plan to fix the roadway, arguing against de Blasio’s proposals which would have either shuttered the Brooklyn Heights Promenade entirely for six years so it could be turned into a temporary six-lane highway or replaced the roadway through short-term closures over eight years De Blasio’s plan fell apart due to local opposition the de Blasio administration released a report that found “overweight trucks and faster-than-expected deterioration may cause sections of the road to become unsafe and incapable of carrying current traffic within five years.” The architect's new proposal was endorsed by the influential Regional Plan Association The city says temporary fixes have proved effective at extending the life of the current structure which was used by 155,000 vehicles every day before the pandemic The roadway has been reduced from three lanes of traffic to two in both directions the Department of Transportation began ticketing overweight trucks This week the agency released a report showing the tickets have reduced heavy trucks that put extra wear and tear on the roadway by 60% But there are only weight sensors for northbound truck traffic Ticketing of southbound traffic is expected to start later this year The proposals currently under consideration by the city weren’t well received. New York magazine suggested they lacked inspiration The transit-friendly administration of former President Joe Biden rejected the city’s $800 million grant application to study those options The influential Regional Plan Association is taking Wouters' plan seriously “ I think there's a lot to like about it,” Rachel Weinberger “ I think he's put together a really thoughtful plan and proposal that I think accomplishes many of the city's goals and the community's goals.” Wouters said there’d be no need for a temporary roadway the existing retaining wall would be preserved and an MTA fan plant connected to the Clark Street station wouldn’t need to be relocated His plan has also piqued the interest of local activists “At first blush it seems more creative and less disruptive than what we've seen so far from NYCDOT and its BQE project team,” Lara Birnback executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Association she said her group favors an emphasis on repairs to keep the triple cantilever in service for another 15 to 20 years while officials focus on a more “transformative and sustainable solution” for the BQE corridor She noted that political turmoil at City Hall the mayoral race and uncertainty around federal funding made the future of the current BQE project very cloudy The Department of Transportation hasn’t reviewed Wouters' plan but spokesperson Vin Barone wrote in an email that the agency is preparing to start an environmental review this spring and will continue looking at all options Correction: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Marc Wouters' last name Have a question about subway cars (or literally anything else NYC-transit related)?

architect husband would not be able to resist: a dump of a house that needed him a store on the ground level that was filled with junk It dated back to 1848 and needed a gut renovation “I was looking for a wreck,” said their son-in-law DeLaCour was inspired by the clean lines of homes by his UPenn professor, the architect Louis Sauer; by the homes of his father’s Quaker family; and by the use of wood in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Suntop Homes asking for a kitchen off the garden so she could pass food straight outside “That was a big improvement in the design,” DeLaCour said He looked for opportunities to frame rooms around a view of that garden and to bring light inside and looked for ways to incorporate natural materials — stripping down walls to expose 19th-century stonework and paneling surfaces with lumber from the trees around his parents’ house in Pennsylvania and when architect friends visited the finished product they would sometimes comment that the house wasn’t “very urban,” or was a bad fit for Brooklyn spending Christmas dinners there and enjoying the nearby grandkids — the rewards of their ambitious plan The DeLaCours raised three children in the house before Margaret died in 2008 “I was a vegetable for a year or so,” said DeLaCour after a career as an administrator at INSEAD She remembered opening the front door and finding herself staring out into the garden — an ideal view and she understood that 27 State Street was a reflection of Wids: his appreciation for the sources of materials “I was inexperienced and young,” he says of the design “It was the best example of what I could do.” By submitting the above I agree to the privacy policy and terms of use of JTA.org Police officers headed off an anti-Zionist demonstration that made the Jewish

circulated online calling for a pro-Palestinian protest in Crown Heights billed as “Flood Crown Heights,” with the slogan “Zionism is not welcome here.” Another post called for attacks on Jews police bolstered their presence in the heavily Jewish neighborhood Local Jewish organizations urged their constituents not to confront the protesters though one militant right-wing pro-Israel group vowed to do just that That group, Betar, tweeted videos on Monday evening of their followers gathered together Police never allowed the pro-Palestinian protesters to get anywhere near Chabad headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway Pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators are kept apart by police during a rally in which the pro-Palestinian group was prevented from entering Crown Heights about 50 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside Barclays Center The plan was to protest there before embarking on the 45-minute walk to Crown Heights The group stayed at Barclays for about an hour as latecomers joined the chants which included the phrases “Zionism out of Brooklyn now” and “Resistance is justified.” an extremist anti-Zionist haredi Orthodox sect held an Israeli flag that replaced the Star of David with a swastika Messages on signs also included “Zionism out of Brooklyn,” as well as “Zionists are: • Racists • Terrorists • Rapists/pedos • Colonizers • Nazis.” the group began the march to Crown Heights walking east along Atlantic Avenue to the sound of drums and ongoing chants Some passersby cheered or honked their horns A girl opened her car window to wave an Israeli flag and a few boys in Orthodox garb rode by on bicycles scanning the crowd Noticing a line of police blocking their way cutting through a McDonald’s parking lot to reach the next block they faced yet another line of police blocking the way with their bicycles The next hour or so became a tactical game of cat and mouse Dozens of officers walked alongside the protesters’ route as street after street was blocked by lineups of officers on bicycles who continuously maneuvered to cut off the path to Crown Heights Police vans and cars patrolled the streets as well NYPD funneled the protesters to Grand Army Plaza cutting through Prospect Park and ending up in Flatbush where they chanted for a few more minutes before dispersing who had shown up in full force and outnumbered the group of demonstrators “Y’all on the wrong people tonight,” said the protest’s leader Pro-Palestinian supporters march near Barclays Center before being prevented from entering a Brooklyn neighborhood with a large Orthodox Jewish population a 37-year-old protester who declined to share her last name for fear of being targeted has lived in Crown Heights for about four years She said she decided to protest after seeing the video of the crowd harassing the woman Thursday night “Now that I see that they are stalking and beating women who oppose a foreign government The woman who was harassed told the Associated Press afterward that she was not involved in the protest had condemned “the crude language and violence of the small breakaway group of young people; such actions are entirely unacceptable and wholly antithetical to the Torah’s values.” he also condemned “violent provocateurs who called for the genocide of Jews in support of terrorists and terrorism — outside a synagogue where some of the worst antisemitic violence in American history was perpetrated.” yells at police after the protest is diverted around Crown Heights That statement was a reference to the Crown Heights riots of 1991 that began after a car in Chabad leader Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s motorcade hit two Black children in the neighborhood killing one; over days of violence that followed Rebel, the protest leader, also referenced the 1991 riots in a speech, repeating a disputed claim that “authorities” had “left the two Black kids on the ground. That’s why Black people went crazy.” (In fact, a local Hasidic emergency service did not have the equipment needed to treat the children A hospital ambulance took nine minutes to arrive.) But in the end, comparisons to the Crown Heights riots were misplaced. At around 11:30 p.m., Seligson tweeted that Crown Heights had a “festive feel.” He thanked the NYPD “It was heartening to see scores of people who came to Crown Heights to protect the residents These people weren’t looking for a fight,” he tweeted The New York Jewish Week brings you the stories behind the headlines, keeping you connected to Jewish life in New York.

His trouble with the house started early: By 1986 Moore was already facing the threat of foreclosure by the city due to unpaid property taxes but was able to cover enough of the balance to stave it off Documents about the foreclosure proceeding note that the building had been vacant since 1983 though neighborhood watchers like Porter say it was closed up long before that records from the Department of Housing Preservation and the Department of Buildings show 32 complaints and 17 violations from open and broken windows to a failure to comply with changes to its certificate of occupancy Moore’s unpaid property taxes continued to pile up He owed another $40,000 in 2009 and now owes nearly $250,000 Which is part of the intrigue: Why keep up such a money pit when selling would be so lucrative When I asked around the neighborhood (and the mailman they all had heard the same rumor: Moore was keeping the house in order to spite an ex-wife A woman whose name was also listed on property records never responded to my inquiries there are two main engines of redress for a house that’s fallen into disrepair: intervention from the various city agencies that have jurisdiction over housing and vocal it’s both.) Both have so far failed in the case of 194 “I think the whole thing’s about to come down,” another property manager of a nearby apartment building told me who claims that a rat infestation from the house has impacted his buildings and tenants But the Department of Buildings seems to disagree: Though the agency can make an emergency declaration to demolish a building if it’s deemed a hazard a spokesperson told me that the department sent inspectors to 194 in February and found the house properly sealed to the public which at the very least means that doors and windows on the first level were properly locked The house also wasn’t at any risk of collapse or fire its very difficult for a city agency to step in physically,” Andrew Rudansky the spokesman for the Department of Buildings it could typically force a house like 194 into a tax lien sale a spokesperson confirmed that Moore was on a payment plan the house “may be subject to a lien sale in 2025.” the Landmarks Preservation Commission could deem the property at risk of “demolition by neglect” — but it too has so far not chosen to act A Landmarks spokesperson said that Moore has been issued summonses for failing to comply with landmark rules as recently as June but has apparently made adequate fixes to the home’s roof and cornices that placated the department which “continues to work closely with the owner to make additional necessary repairs including an upcoming on-site visit,” per a statement the property manager who said Moore once had a tenant is the only person I spoke to who actually knows the man “He calls me from time to time,” Younger told me “to ask about vendors to do the things the city makes him do to keep the city off his back.” Occasionally As for why he thinks Moore has kept the house despite everything — the windfall that surely awaits if he does and letting someone put some use to the space — Younger says he’s not sure “He has only ever been cordial with me,” he said TrendingResidentialNew YorkABrooklyn Heights condo tops borough’s luxury contractsUnit at 118 Remsen Street last asked $7.3M Listen to this article00:001xBrooklyn’s luxury market picked up steam last week was the priciest of 25 homes asking $2 million or more in the borough to land signed contracts between April 7 and April 13 The total, which amounted to $74 million in volume, was up from just 18 properties in the previous period The Brooklyn Heights home is one of four condos at the development, which was once configured as a six-family townhouse with an owner’s triplex and five one-bedroom apartments.
