City Green-Lights ‘Brutalist’ Townhouses in Stuyvesant Heights Historic District

After being forced to return to the drawing board late last year, a proposal to construct four modern-looking townhouses in a vacant lot in Bedford-Stuyvesant was approved with modifications by the Landmarks Preservation Commission on Feb. 9.
