A reader writes in to us lamenting the fact that this cute 2-family brownstone at 353 6th Street is in the process of being super-sized by a developer. Expanding in every direction–up, down and back–the owner, Shahin Assil, is turning this 2,100-square-foot 2-family into a 6-family building. According to Property Shark, Assil paid $880,000 for the place last summer and he’s got another 1,800 square feet of buildable FAR as of right. And because he’s outside of the Historic District, it can be as ugly as he wants. Big bummer for the neighbors.
