Desperate times call for desperate measures…When you’re trying to market a building with as dodgy a past as the one at 639 6th Avenue, who can blame a broker for getting creative with the marketing spin. After pleading hardship to the BSA, illegally cutting trees and suffering a tragic worker accident, the 6-unit condo known as Six on Sixth is now on the market and the listing verbiage is just too precious to pass over:

Some call it South Slope. Some insist it’s beyond the boundary with Sunset Park. Others are beginning to call this quiet, tucked away neighborhood Sun Slope. Stop by and decide on your own. We’re sure you’ll love it.

And still others call it what it actually is—Greenwood Heights.
