The Parkview,
108 East 96th Street

This 19-story midblock building was the subject of a fierce controversy over zoning, becoming known as the 'too-tall' building. The developer was forced to remove the top 12 floors due to community protests, despite offering compromises and the city's Buildings Department being at fault for approving the original plans.
