Slow Train Coming: Humboldt ‘Affordable Housing’

What the heck’s taking so long with the conversion of the old police building at the corner of Herbert and Humboldt in Greenpoint? Back in March 2006, it was announce that the building, which is owned by HPD, would be turned into 14 subsidized condo units with a $1 million in financing from the North Brooklyn Development Corporation and another $300,000 kicked in by the city. In the 16 months since, not a single announcement or filing with the Department of Buildings. We know that the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly, but this is something else! Anyone know what the hold-up is?
