Is Rivington Street Synagogue Coming Down?
.
Manhattan - The First Roumanian-American Congregation Synagogue, "Is the Rivington Synagogue coming down, Brick by bring work started early this morning.
Workers on the roof, are dismantling the facade brick-by-brick. The care with which they're removing each brick offers some hope that restoration might be in the cards, or that they might just be lowering the roof line, but with a big demolition sign slapped across the front of the place, the hope is dim.

"No, the building is not coming down. That work is part of the emergency repairs to shore up the structure. Probably tearing brick down to a point where the structure is sound and will rebuild from there. At least that is what DOB records indicate. (When a building collapse happens, the commissioners are extremely prescripitve in their advice on how to proceed. The architect self-certified the job, it was audited by the DOB and the audit was accepted on 2/1/06. The permit for this work was issued 1/25 and has been valid since.)"
