Residents of Lenox Hill are opposing Northwell Health's proposal to build a 436-foot tower in their residential neighborhood, claiming it disrupts community character and prioritizes profit over patient care. Many households will suffer from noise, pollution, and safety issues due to a decade of construction. The project has faced strong pushback, with the local community board voting against it by a significant margin, as the proposed increased zoning regulations threaten the area's residential integrity.
Let's be clear: a 436-foot medical tower has no place in Lenox Hill or any residential neighborhood. This is a community defined by its human-scale architecture.
While the hospital markets this as a much-needed modernization effort, the reality is starkly different. This project is not about better patient care-it's about maximizing profits.
Northwell's proposal would lead to a decade of heavy construction in a densely populated residential neighborhood...leading to constant noise, dust pollution, traffic chaos.
Manhattan Community Board 8 has voted 'no' to Northwell's proposal by a margin of 2:1, rejecting the zoning changes that call for 250 to 500 percent zoning increases.
