Maimonides Medical Center — Community Mental Health Center / Goldberg Pavilion enlargement

“Maimonides Medical Center — 1981”
NYC Planning approved the Maimonides enlargement on July 20, 1981—the same year recorded on the family list.
Joseph’s 1981 entry falls within a specific city-approved Maimonides expansion program rather than a generic hospital project.
What Kelly did here
Family source
Strong
Likely CMU/block and potentially exterior masonry in the 1981 enlargement, but the original building's architect/material language should not be automatically carried into the enlargement. Exact masonry scope requires the N 810445 ZAK project drawings/specifications.
This scope is recorded as strong, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
