Preservationist group hopes to block Pierhouse hotel liquor license
CB2 vote Wednesday
Members of the preservationist group Save The View Now (STVN) plan to ask Community Board 2 (CB2) to deny a liquor license to Starwood’s 1 Hotel in the Pierhouse complex in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
CB2 is set to vote on the license Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. at the Brooklyn Hospital Center at 121 DeKalb Ave.
STVN, which has been fighting in court to preserve the view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, maintains that the structures atop the Pierhouse are illegal. These include an enclosed kitchen, food service and preparation areas, an outdoor shower, pool equipment room and more.
