The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold a hearing July 26 on an application by Extell Management, the developer of two towers on Broadway at 100th Street, one of which was the scene of a building collapse last week, to build a rooftop addition at 995 Fifth Avenue.
The building is the former Stanhope Hotel, which has been operated in recent years as a Park Hyatt hotel, and Extell recently began interior demolition in the building.
The building was designed by Rosario Candela, the noted luxury apartment building architect, in 1925-6.
The application also is seeking permission to construct planting beds at the sidewalk, where a popular sidewalk caf?ong existed directly across Fifth Avenue from the south wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The building is located on the southeast corner at 81st Street. It had 185 hotel rooms and the conversion will result in about 36 apartments.
