In case there was any doubt about the deterioration of old P.S. 64 (fomerly CHARAS/El Bohio), this backside view shows just how bad things have gotten. Pigeons fly in and out of every floor of the building all day long. Windows are cracked and half-boarded up; rainstorms soak the interior. Every day, the deterioriation increases.
FOR THE BIRDS See that open window? It's just one of many where pigeons enter 24 hours a day |
The neglect of this landmarked building must stop immediately, and you can help:
Walk by P.S. 64, just east of Avenue B, between 9th and 10th Streets, and take a look at the current state of the building. Then, when you're back at your computer, write a few sentences about what you observed, your concerns for the state of this landmarked building, and your thoughts about preserving the building for community use. Be sure to include your name and any affiliation with the community (such as, if you're a visitor, a neighbor, or a member of a community group). Then send those thoughts in an email to this address:
