“A developer will dismantle part of an illegal 40-foot addition atop a 19th-century building on Carroll Street, a project that had become so controversial that it led the city to rezone the neighborhood. Builder Isaac Fischman of Borough Park told the Carroll Gardens Neighborhood Association of his decision on Wednesday night, potentially ending a six-year saga over the rooftop extension that neighbors had dubbed ‘the Hell House.’ ‘Everyone will get what they want,’ Fischman said, adding that he will forge ahead with a plan to convert the soon-to-five-story building between Hoyt and Bond streets into 37 condo units.” -Brooklyn Paper
