... that when a former New York City morgue was proposed for conversion to a children's shelter, a local community board censured the city government for not following city law? Source: Stamler, Bernard (February 15, 1998). "Board vs. Children's Shelter". The New York Times "...first used as a city morgue, the R & S Building on the campus of Bellevue Hospital Center has been vacant for nearly two decades. Last year, after Bellevue officials put the word out that it was available, the Administration for Children's Services decided it would be a good spot for a shelter for abused children. ... The community board said that by failing to seek community response to its plan for the city property, the agency had violated the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure. ... Last Wednesday, the board voted to condemn the city for failing to follow the land-use law and to demand that it do so."
