Apply to live in a brownstone on 114th Street
Step right up, three brownstones for sale!
Well, not quite, but you can apply to live with a special interest group in one of the 114th Street brownstones starting next fall.
The Office of Community Development opened the application process for the three buildings yesterday, inviting CC and SEAS students with guaranteed housing to form themed groups to occupy the brownstones. The buildings, which were vacated by the three fraternities whose members were involved in the NYPD’s Operation Ivy League in December 2010, were included as part of the regular housing lottery for the upcoming academic year.
See after the jump for important dates and details.
