Demolition permits have been filed for a five-story residential building at 222 East 86th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Built in 1926, the 48-foot-tall building is owned by Postgraduate Center for Mental Health, a non-profit that offers housing and services to individuals with mental illness.

Another charming old NY building bites the dust while that soul crushing 1980s pile next door is untouched.
I’m assuming it will replaced by a 10-20 story much needed condo tower with units starting in the mid 2’s?

Looks like it may have been designed by Henry J Hardenbergh. Several other of his smaller residential buildings still survive ( and are landmarked ) in the neighborhood.
