Poor Door On NYC Building, Ordered Changed


[From article]
A developer and city officials say some changes have been negotiated in a controversial plan for a so-called 'poor door' that was to be used by less-affluent residents of a new Manhattan skyscraper.
People who live in the pricey condos of the 42-story Upper West Side building will still enter through the luxurious front lobby.
But residents of the 'affordable' portion of the complex - who will pay steeply reduced rent under a government-funded program - will have a separate entrance and exit.
Now, under new plan ammendments, developer Larry Silverstein says those people will have access to a courtyard and a roof deck facing the Hudson River.
