Dear Fellow BKCB-6ers,
As cited by
various reports
and noted in
the board's resolution
this location was important in the social reform movements of the 20th century and, thanks to hard work from members of our community, our elected officials, and many others we have preserved a tangible reminder of that great history.
Also, we are restarting tradition of giving out the
CB6 Youth Acknowledgement Awards and the Robert Acito Award for Youth Involvement.
Youth Acknowledgement Awards will be given to youth between the ages of 10 to 19 who reside, attend school or volunteer for some organization serving the CB6 district. The contribution must have occurred in 2018 and may include, but is not limited to, tutoring, participating in community-based projects, assisting the needy, or triumphing over a personal challenge. Only volunteers will be considered eligible for this award.
The Robert Acito Award for Youth Involvement will be given to an adult member of the CB6 community who has demonstrated a commitment to young people and has proven to be a positive force in their lives. Robert Acito served as District Manager from 1980-1993 and in his lifetime worked tirelessly on behalf of the youth of the district. Since his passing, the Community Board has chosen to honor Bob’s memory by selecting an adult member of the community who has demonstrated a similar sense of purpose.
Nomination forms can be found below :

An application at
513 11th Street
was approved with respect to the front of the building, however it was disapproved with regard to the rear extension, and sunken backyard as inconsistent with the context and integrity of the historic district while the application for a penthouse rooftop addition was conditionally approved with reduced glazing.
The application with for
535 1st Street
,
was disapproved. as the extension is too large and out of character with the historic district, the glazing on the sides of the extension is overwhelming and inconsistent with glazing pattern of other extensions, and since no buildings on the block maintain historic balustrades restoration of a historic balustrade is no longer in context.
