Description: "Defenders of the Historic Upper East Side is a preservation advocacy group founded in 2003 and dedicated to preserving and protecting the Upper East Side historic character. The great array of architectural styles, from 19th century brownstone rowhouses to distinguished early 20th century apartment buildings make our neighborhood some of the most expensive and desirable real estate in the world and a magnet for intense development pressure. Misguided, well-funded development projects, seeking to enrich the few at the expense of the larger community, will always assault us."

Description: "A recent spate of development threatens to change the face of our historic community with luxury housing. From the new apartments on the grounds of St. John the Divine to the former nurses residence diagonally across the street, to what's going up at Jewish Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary, our neighborhood is changing, and not for the better.

The East 69th Street Association was formed in 1962 and has been responsible for much of the block’s improvement. For example, the Association has arranged for the planting of trees and plants, the posting of signs, and the improvement of police patrols. Importantly, the Association in 1964 was able to prevent the block from being re-zoned to commercial businesses, thus assuring and keeping the block a pleasant residential street. The Association continues to be involved in community activities and meets regular to discuss and decide on the issues that affects all of its citizens."
