On December 1, 2008, at least two anonymous calls were made to the NYC Department of Buildings. The caller reported that "occupants" of the legendary Hotel Chelsea had violated building codes by maintaining a roof garden -- a roof garden, mind you, that has been a constant source of inspiration and private relaxation to Chelsea residents for over 125 years. Simultaneously, "New Management", then led by recently resigned Andrew Tilley, was actively harassing the owner of El Quijote Restaurant (also a Chelsea tenant) by using -- what else? -- anonymous calls to the Department of Buildings! That's some coincidence! Now, we all know that Mr. Tilley and his underling Arnold Tamasar made the reports to put pressure on upper floor residents, and have actually spread the illogical rumor that it was Pro-Bard Family activists who made the cowardly reports --AS IF THAT MAKES A BIT OF SENSE, you numbskulls. While we obtain the audio-recorded reports to DOB through the Freedom Of Information Act, why don't you check out this short video where you can see some of the destruction to our late friend, the painter and nightclub impresario Arthur Weinstein's beautiful rose garden that was formerly located on the north west corner of the Hotel. Now, it is no more. As a final indignity, one of his carefully pruned bushes winds up smashed on Twenty Third Street. It has a new home, however, back inside the Chelsea's walls, and if its possible to resussitate this bush it will be used to christen the rebirth of the Chelsea roof gardens upon the Bard Family's inevitable return.
