(NY Sun) -- The commission is now considering a compromise that would allow the actor to avoid tearing down a penthouse worth millions of dollars. Mr. DeNiro issued an apology to the commission yesterday for failing to alert the city that a rooftop penthouse was to be built at the hotel. The now-completed penthouse was not part of the plans that were approved in 2004 by the commission as part of the approval process for the six-story hotel, which was built in the TriBeCa historic district. "This was a labor of love and anything that would be offensive to the neighborhood would be offensive to me," Mr. DeNiro said in brief comments at a hearing held yesterday in Lower Manhattan. "If there are any mistakes, which may happen, may I offer my apologies."
