Atrocious new buildings are not limited to the southern part of Park Slope, as this reader submission demonstrates.

I live in the neighborhood and am super curious about what its deal is. Basically, walking past it for the past couple of years, I’ve watched as they built this fugly thing, and then…it just sits vacant. It’s been vacant for more than a year now. Occasionally I’ve seen a FOR SALE sign up but then it is gone in a couple of days. What gives? Why are the small balconies encased in sheet metal? And what’s up with those plastic plants in front?

We don’t have any answers, but there sure have been a lot of mortgage transactions on the property since 2004, so perhaps the hold-up has something to do with that. Other than that, all we know is that the 5,000-square-foot POS has three residential units. Anyone have any knowledge or theories? GMAP P*Shark DOB
