Contact : Louis Flores, 1-646-400-1168, lflores22@gmail.com New York, NY (Nov. 14, 2011) On Monday, Nov. 14, 2011, at 2 p.m., activists, who are protesting Rudin Management Companys Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) application for the property of St. Vincents Hospital, will visit the office of Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. DATE : Monday, November 14, 2011 TIME : 2 p.m. PLACE : 1 Centre Street, 19th Floor New York, NY 10007 Rudin Management Companys ULURP application is now pending before President Stringer. When St. Vincents closed, the Lower West Side was left no hospital : zero hospital beds, said Louis Flores. This compares with 2,206 hospital beds in the Upper West Side, 4,064 hospital beds in the Upper East Side, and 3,101 hospital beds in the Lower East Side. How is this responsible city planning ? Two months ago, The New York Post reported that the Manhattan District Attorney was investigating whether hospital executives intentionally let St. Vincents fail, so that Rudin Management Company could buy the hospitals real estate on the cheap. In spite of the cloud of the fraud investigation, Rudins ULURP application is still in the review process.
