    Special permit will allow a vacant mixed-use building in SoHo to convert to residential use.  On February 4, 2015 the City Planning Commission voted to grant a special permit to Goose Mountain NYC, LLC to develop a six-story building at 498 Broome Street in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District of Manhattan as a residential property.  The permit would allow Use Group 2 residential uses on portions of the ground floor, as well as the second through fifth floors and the penthouse.  The building has been vacant for three years, but previously housed Use Group 6 retail in the ground floor and cellar and an artist’s studio on the upper floors, though not officially designated Joint Live-Work Quarters for Artists.

    Proposed renovation would restore two floors lost to fire and open loft building to non-artist tenants. On December 3, 2014 the City Planning Commission held a public hearing on an application for a special permit for 102 Greene Street in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, Manhattan. The building is three stories, with the Galeria Melissa gallery on the ground floor and two apartments above. The apartments are designated as Joint Live-Work Quarters for Artists (JLWQA), though neither of the current tenants are artists.
