Guttman Cutting Corners at 155 Water Street?
Evidently, having to keep the Department of Buildings apprised of his renovation activities at 155 Water Street is too much of an inconvenience for developer Joshua Guttman. The building currently has three open DOB and one open ECB "Work Without A Permit" Violations on it. Last spring, DOB also received complaints about unsafe work conditions. It's unclear (to us, at least) what the building is going to be used for when the reno is done. We should probably be counting our blessings that Guttman didn't find a reason to tear this place down, but we can't help wishing he'd sprung for some wooden windows on this place. GMAP P*Shark DOB

DOB and ECB violations are meaningless. They are just for show.

When you see the bdlg up close...the window frames look like crap. He is using the same cheap window material on his other bdlg up the road on Bridge Street.

What happened to burning it down then blaming some Old Polak.
Maybe he got tired of that trick

God! I wish that slimeball would get out of our neighborhood. That building looks ridiculous with those cheap white bordered windows. And I'll say this: Unless he's as much of an idiot as he is a slimeball, there's no way that building will be residential--those windows won't deaded one decibel of the adjacent bridge noise.

Is this a condo or rental?

Ruined a perfectly beautiful building with those windows

The only way that creep will leave the nabe is if people start boycotting his developments by not buying or renting. Let that slumlord take some losses on his development.
