Landmarks already rejected this multiple times, so there's no issue.
Some people just want to preserve every single older building. There were people whining about 270 Park's demolition, saying it had to be landmarked. Pretty much any older building in Midtown has something interesting in its past, or something interesting architecturally, so using that logic, nothing should ever be built, anywhere.
I guess the ESB should have never been built, since it replaced the original Waldorf Astoria (which, unlike this dump, was actually really ornate and nice). Or Rockefeller Center should have never been built, since it replaced really nice brownstone blocks and Columbia University's original campus.
