Here in status symbol land

Some good news for Broken Angel! Some DUMBO architects are getting some engineers to figure out how to save the building from the Dept of Buildings:

Plemel said he has called on structural engineers to help inspect every nook and cranny of the building and draft a plan to bring it up to code while retaining Wood's vision.


Of course, the Woods will still need to find a way to pay for whatever work will need to be done. It sounds promising, the guy says projects like this have gone through before and been landmarked when they come out at the end.
I hope that's how Broken Angel's story ends as well. I guess it's too bad things have to come to such a head just to keep something unique in New York City these days, but whatever it takes is worth it. If Christopher Wood ever gets around to posting a Paypal donation link, I'll put it up here too.
