We walked by the old ruins of the PS 186 School Building on 145th Street this week and noticed that the front courtyard had all of the trees chopped down for the most part. The top interior levels still look like a jungle but his is probably the first time we can see the courtyard for as long as we can remember. This is only a slight improvement for the building that was supposed to be restored over 30 years ago and apparently the owners had a meeting last week with the community board on the new timeline for this development. Does anyone have an update to what's happening with the restoration of PS 186?
More details on the efforts to restore this grand structure in Hamilton Heights can be found in our past post:

So we have been informed that the owners are still trying to acquire financing and tax breaks which leaves the project at status quo from a year ago. Earliest ground breaking will be over a year from now.
