What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Proposing to construct a 27-story cancer hospital at 1233 York Avenue in New York New York. The building will be equipped with a building maintenance unit (BMU) on the roof. The base of the BMU is located by point 4 and the BMU extends up to 129' horizontally from the base while in operation. Building points 1 2 3 4 and 6 are filed as if the BMU is in operation to represent the maximum possible height of the building footprint. When the BMU is not in use the highest point of the building is at the top of a bulkhead shown as point 5 at 529' AGL/559' AMSL. The heights filed include a 10-foot buffer to account to for potential variances in construction. The construction also includes a pedestrian bridge connection across E 67 Street to the existing hospital at 1275 York Ave at approximately 145' AMSL. The existing building on site has been demolished. Crane(s) will be filed at a later date."
