News:
A manhole fire caused by corroded underground wires on West End Avenue at 82nd Street on Saturday caused the street to be closed. (DNAinfo)

A woman was hit by a Supertrans school bus in front of ABC studios at 67th Street and Columbus Avenue, and taken to the hospital with what appeared to be serious head  injuries, although she appeared to be conscious. (ABC and DNAinfo)

Confirmed: a trust for the daughter of Russian fertilizer magnate Dmitry Rybolovlev bought Sanford Weill’s penthouse at 15 Central Park West for the full asking price of $88 million. When you’re already spending that much, why haggle over a few million bucks?. (Wall Street Journal)

Re the Laureat…how many LLCs, how many move-ins?
Their garage is virtually empty – and, as for 535 West End Avenue, up and running for a couple of years now…no garage yet…and no lights (save for 2 or 3 apartments) on at night!
