March 23, 2000 -- Recent filings at the Department of Buildings:

Manhattan House, 200 East 66th Street --- $715,000 to repair balconies;
Owner: New York Life (Stephen Szabaga); Engineer: Hayden-Weman

2 East 82nd Street --- $1,800,000 to convert townhouse into school; Owner:
Marymount School; Architect: Sam White.  A few residents of the 82nd Street
block, opposing the move of the school to the building, dressed up as nuns
and picketed the school's present building at 84th and Fifth; they passed out
unsigned leaflets warning that the school's girls would be threatened by a
diplomatic mission across the street, which was inspected every month by
"bomb sniffing dogs".
