This building on the corner of Grand and Greene, the poster child for the wave of cheap, ugly developments that are selling short the futures of many Brooklyn neighborhoods, is finally on the market. While it was being built slapped up, we documented the poor craftsmanship while one reader called it a shit sandwich. Earlier in its construction, the developer had received a Stop Work Order for shoddy excavation. Basically, he’d dug the foundation without an engineer using unlicensed labor, so big surprise that the structural integrity of the adjacent building was compromised. Now these jerks are trying to cash in and dump the place off on some unsuspecting soul. Hopefully, the gas lines and electrical meters that adorn the facade will be a red flag but maybe someone will fall for the sales pitch touting “original stone from Jerusalem.” And that front door: They must have spent, what, $25 on it? What a load of crap.
