History: Built as a six-family tenement, 316 was converted into single room occupancy in 1941. It was converted back into apartments in 1969. No. 316 was proposed as part of a West 82nd Street Historic District, along with 310-314 and 307-325 West 82nd Street, which was heard in 1986. In 1992 the Commission moved to take no action on the proposal.  References: LPC Research files; NYC, Department of Buildings, Certificates of Occupancy 29198, July 25, 1942, 68653, February 27, 1970.
