A judge issued an injunction preventing Jewish Home Lifecare from building a new 20-story nursing home on 97th Street. The Park West Village Tenants Association argued that the parking lot where the nursing home is supposed to be built is actually an amenity in their leases and it needs further approvals from the state to be taken away. Neighbors worry the new nursing home could seriously detract from their quality of life. Check out the many angry comments on our previous post on the issue. (Columbia Spectator)
