Last time we heard about Red Hook’s premier there-goes-the-neighborhood project, 160 Imlay Street, word on the street was that workers had installed plastic sheeting on the window frames. Apparently the construction crew’s efforts to hermetically seal the building in advance of renovation/nuclear holocaust were for naught, as many of the plastic sheets are flapping in the wind, now moving in concert with the property’s tatty old netting. Some of the metal scaffolding on 160 Imlay’s upper floors, meanwhile, has collapsed. As far as we know, no real work has been done on the warehouse for around a year, and it’s unclear whether developer Bruce Batkin’s project is still being held up by red tape or if he’s completely given up on the condo. Any chit-chat in the neighborhood about this one?
