    One thing Norah Jones won't be doing with her new Cobble Hill townhouse: setting renovation trends. CB 6's Landmarks and Land Use Committee shot down a proposal for renovations to 227 Clinton Street that sound a lot like Norah's, with four side windows, a "modestly sized" swimming pool, and a two-story glass "tea room" in the back yard. Guess you've gotta win a few Grammy awards before you can mess with your historic townhouse. ['Stoner]

    The legal feud between the tenants and landlord of 172 North Eighth Street continues, with the tenants asking a housing court judge to appoint a new landlord for the building. (They argue their old landlord has refused to fix up the building because he wants to force out rent-stabilized residents.) The two sides can't even agree on how the building should be fixed up: the tenants think the landlord wants to dig a deeper basement to make room for a bar or restaurant. Because that's just what this situation needs! [NYT]
