Back in the Fall, the Finger Building on North 7th between Bedford and Berry was hit with a Stop Work Order when neighboring landlord Scott Spector complained about some roofdecks that were illegally being built over his adjacent property. Without the roofdecks, you see, there wouldn’t be enough “outdoor space” to enable developer Mendel Brach to put up the remaining six floors of his Scarano-designed building. Since time is money, Brach filed for summary judgment. As Curbed reported yesterday, the judge on the case ruled against the rules-bending developer, effectively halting the building at its current height of ten stories.
