How Unfortunate: 669 Classon Avenue
The person who designed this doesn’t even deserve to have an architectural license but what about the building code that allows it? GMAP

“Nothin’ like lettin’ the little tykes play on that cee-mented front yard.” I hope they are well stocked in band aids.
“Really sad and ugly architecture thats not only dirt cheap but also wasteful of valuable space. Maybe large potted plants and some trees will conceal this monstrosity and spare the neighbors the eyesore…An Architect in Brooklyn any suggestions on how to improve this?”
Dynamite.
Those chrome gate atrocities are popping up everywhere. We call them “Dr. Evil’s 3-D Fence of Doom.”
oh come on, it’s right next to an ugly bodega and right across the street from a similarly ugly and set back building. it’s not pretty, but it’s hardly destroying the architectural harmony (such as it is) of this block. and yes, the front area is used for parking — see the van parked there in google street view.
I’m with Xander – I think it’s awesome. It’s the 2008 equivalent of a log cabin….
What do you mean, who “designed” it? Nobody designed it. That was their first mistake.
That’s an awesome building.
PS. Am I the only one who thinks that a ball court in the front yard wouldn’t be so bad? I grew up playing handball against the wall of my house, and there are worse things a kid could do than play basketball.
Like sparafucile said: it isn’t like that stretch of Classon is some well preserved Brownstone paradise. I don’t think the place is that bad.
If any of you people think that these owners/renters are going to go out and but bushes and trees and vines to make this place more pleasing then you are taking some serious hallucinogens.
