Alex Figalo fixed my broken pipe a few years back and it went well.
The city gives out three day notices that the homeowner has to jump to fix or get fined.
Alex came around in an hour, gave me a price, took my credit card and there were a team of workers on the job with all the permits the next day.
ConEd and the City gets in on watching the the digging and bothering the contractor, so it takes a capable foreman to keep on track and keep everyone happy.
The price is high but you need the experience and resourses to get this done right and quickly.
I was very happy with their work and hope that I don't have a need to use them again.

I used to have sheet metal above my oil tank. The tank is long gone but not the metal. This nust have been put up for a fire and heat protection.
I don't know whether it is a code requirement, but it sounds as if it is in crap condition. So if you want to see the condition of the beams beheind and do any repairs then it has to be ripped out.
You could install new the steel plates after the repairs are done.

I just did my bathroom and bought all the plumbing fixtures at Park Slope Plumbing. You need to go there when it's not busy and speak to the girl who has a desk on the left as you enter. Sorry but I can't remember her name, but she's real nice and competent and put together an order and get you everything that you need.
There is more involved than the obvious and I'm not sure whether Lowes would give you any necessary help.

I bought my tiles at Classic Tile & Marble and they were fine but I think that Lowes would have been just as good.
You will need to calculate the amount of tiles but that is simple math.

Avoid Home Depot in Brooklyn, it's a mess.
Ikea only sells cheap stuff so I would not trust them if you want quality. I used Kohler and Toto but American Standard or Delta are fine too.

Good luck and if I can give any more help than just ask.

You are a business person that makes an income from a rental property. You have been making a profit as a landlord. Part of the price is that you have to keep the property up and share your home with people who are contributing to your mortgage and maintainence.
If you made too much money and reimburse the tenant then you could complaint as hard done by. Otherwise you should just take your lumps as part and parcel of doing business.

I don't understand your point and I don't that you do either. You keep speaking on behalf of NIMBY and saying that they are plain wrong. But you can only speak for yourself

The developers and the politicians promoted this as a great additiona to Brooklyn. A sports, entertainment and cultural stadium, housing, employmnet and a retail center. It would be a world famous building on par to the Sydney Opera House that Brooklynites might boast off. This isn't going to happen particularly after this latest debacle

The objections are based on congestion and the quality of life in the surrouding neighborhoods. (I frankly was down with having a Gehery building in Brooklyn, better than a non-descript building were cost is the only criteria)
But dismissing critics as just NIMBY is forgetting that this is their back yard., not the visitors that use the stadium for special events.

Mediocre architecture and neglectful city planning is accepted in America. The determining factor is always the bottom line. Everyone will have to live with what ever is built on this site. Every new building that aspects to greatness is controversial, whether it is cost, looks or mechanical problems. But at the end of the day there sits an iconic momument. The latest 'artist's rendering' look like a box of steel, concrete and glass not something that makes this world a better place.

That is really interesting point about the bait and switch. This Kansas city architecture company had to have been on board for some time to be able to produce these sketches and proposals.
Doesn't the approval process have be restarted now? This must be a mistrial and Brooklyn should be allowed to go free. And let the developers start again with this uninspired warehouse proposal.

That is not fair. The people that supported this venture were more interested in having a sports team, tax breaks and employment at this facility. Those people were not supporters because they wanted a Gehery building.
And the bait and switch was always going to happen and had nothing to do with the opposition. It was just about money.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was another bait and switch and switch back to Gehery. Then they will say are you guys ever happy and yet the DDD was not so much about the architecture but the social and physical damage to Brooklyn.

Think about applying those rules for choosing ; music, art, cars, homes, museums, breakfast cereal, sports teams, women, vacations, restaurants, friends, careers, TV shows. I would have to go for artistic super modern and that is what would be better for BKLYN.
Now if we were talking about socks and shorts then generic would be fine.

I just thought of new The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. It was built on the edge of one of Europe's great cities with Georgian townhouses,neo-classical and of course castles and Palaces. It does not mimic but intergrates and speaks for the time when it was buiilt. It is an amazing building both inside and out, it is an original although it's Spanish architect refers to Gaudi.
The problem is that it went so far over budget it is what everyone first says, like the channel tunnel and the Boston development. But when all the bills have been paid Scotland can be proud of an addition to their city.
I don't see any Brooklynite expressing any pride in this box of a building with a rotating name and sign. It will be a statement of what we though of our city.
I just loved that architectural review, move over Paul Goldberger.

This is was a great article and covers so much. It does only cover the arctitectural aspect not the social affect. But he clearly explains why the majority of New York cities have become such unpleasant places for people.
Architecture is an art form that we (the people) have to live with and unlike other forms we can ignore or allow to go out of fashion.
Well done Ouroussoff you should be the voice of the residents of Brooklyn

Posted by: oldtimer at June 9, 2009 9:10 AM in response to Ouroussoff, Tell Us How You Really Feel

Did somebody complement One Pierrepoint Plaza, that must have been an ironic comment. That building is an eyesore. It mocks the post-modern idea of a semi-open street level, a massive middle (that pays and collects the rent) and a cap made of faux copper finish. The rear end was unfinished to save money.

And the Court street movie theater is another disgrace. The entrance is poorly planned, confusing and a bottle neck when busy. Customers have no shelter in bad weather and block the side walk.
The construction materials are cheap and you can feel the wobbly shoddy methods used.
The exterior finish resembles asbesteos shingles used in housing for the poor in rural area in the sixties. It is as if the remains of a tornado that set down in a trailer park in the Poconos fell from the sky and landed in Brooklyn Heights.
So this is the Developer that will do the Atlantic Yards; I see our future.

I think that the MSG area as separate from midtown. Midtown (around Grand Central) is strictly business, kinda boring, not residential but not unpleasant.
MSG is the Penn Station/MSG and is low rent and edgy but not in a cool hipster way. More like steppin' over chicken bones and avoided eye contact with hookers and hustlers.

Many of those jobs go to contractors and consultants that work on a project and do not need to be locally engaged.

Please don't SHOUT at me... Thank you. I like to compare this development to MSG because I think that is what we will look like. Sports bars, fast food restaurant. and other businesses that cater to a transient crowd that have come for a game or show. These tend to be over-priced and generic. Also the long stretches of window-less street will be unpleasant for walkers and intimidating at night.

The present rail yards are ugly and difficult to navigate
The new shopping malls are eyesores.
The Flatbush/Atlantic Avenue is a dangerous road to cross
PC Richard building ? How was that ever allowed to be built?
Frank Gehry is not all that, he keeps doing Bilbao over and over and they are not well constructed.
Gehry was never going to do the working drawings anyway.
The streets will be gridlocked during games and shows.
Jobs created will be in security and selling popcorn.
Architectural drawings will take a year and construction five, so we are looking at 2016 before the games begin. Unless we get the Olympics then stuff gets fast tracked.
The bottom line is money. It is what Ratner (Is that a made up name)Bloomberg, Paterson and Markowitz want.

I don't think that Brooklyn has an Iconic building, unless you mean The Williamsburg Saving Building. Besides the Brooklyn Bridge what makes Brooklyn Brooklyn are the neighbourhoods and yes the brownstones.
11217 & fsrg
Take a walk around MSG day or night and compare it to Fort Green, Park Slope etc., because that is our future.
If you look at EB's web site you can see a series of stadiums that may not leak but they will not recieve any design rewards. The the reason that they are going to be the contract architect is cost and because stadiums is what they do. Frank Gehry was the front man to make the project seem sexy, a journey man type office was always going to make the thing work.
I've been living here for over thirty years and experienced crime, neglect and sadness on the streets. It was one thing to live next to marginal people, that is part and parcel of living in a city. But this ugly development is the work of a greedy developer and politicians on the take. I may leave if this goes thru in my liftime.

Posted by: oldtimer at June 5, 2009 11:09 AM in response to Gehry Officially Off Yards Project

Although I am not a big fan of Gehry, there was the potential that we would an 'important' building in our backyard ; Bilbao on the Gowanus. My view was that this would bring in congestion and would all the charm the of Madison Square Garden neighbourhood.
But now we don't even get to boast of a showcase architect designed building.
The rendering is a classic case of throwing in trees and architecturally correct people so that you can't see the undefined warehouse in the back. It is big box construction that is done on the cheap and has been ripping the soul out of American downtown since the sixties.
Not for nothing but this alone is reason to vote out Bloomberg and Patterson.

The decline of this art installation is a reflection of the hard times that we now live. It was the creation of a family of seven dwarfs that have met with much success in Europe. Their work has been seen in The Tate, Basel and The Pompedieu. Although some critics have seen the piece as a scathing indictment of a wasteful throw-away society others have seen it as a playful whimsical parody of the Brooklyn Brownstone Yard sale that was so popular in the late twentieth century. And then there is a school of thought that says that they are happy not to live next door.

I'm sorry that I'm mocking you. Here is what you need to do; determine how much house you can afford (counting in deductions, rentals, insurance etc.,) decide your school districts ( but remember that schools are only good for 4 years) and stop getting mad at agents. They never change, they are sales people. Instead of going to all these open houses just run head first into a brick wall twenty times. It will give your kids a laugh and a relief from you asking questions about school districts. By now they know them as well as you do.

Dear Good Old Boy/BKLandlord.
Do you think that the agents are annoying you because they are not parents and do not appreciate your children and thought that making a commission would be easier than working and who cares about school districts anyway. And if you want to be living in a million dollar home then what are you doing sending your kids to the local PS. Get thee to a Packer/StAnns/Montesorri and don't you be going to no PS.
But you already know which is the school District du Jour of your demographic so why bother looking out of those areas.

You are right I did buy at 30K a building that now gets offered at 2 million. But there again that was a lot of money (and still is)it was all that I could afford. I think that I was making less than 20 k back then. But then it was a nice mixed neighourhood, of course Smith was a no go zone at night. But there were a few good years before Crack appeared and sketchy was not even a word. But I knew nothing about school districts coz I had no kids.
You say that you have looked at 300 over-priced houses and not found a home. How does that make you feel ? Maybe this is not your time and you are wasting time with all these house tours. How do your family enjoying going to the open houses on the weekends ?
But good luck to you and enjoy everyday.

Posted by: oldtimer at May 14, 2009 11:14 PM in response to Price Cut at 355 Degraw Street

BKLandlord, That was one fine response, but not objective. You had said that most buyers are parents of young children based on attending 50 open houses. I think that going to open houses may be a weekend past time for your demographic group; a parent of young children. Open houses are for nosey neighbours to snoop around and for realtors to catch more leads.
Your objective observation reflects lookers not necessarily buyers. but there again you might be right. Me ? Personally ? I and my wife bought about five years before our children turned up. I saw less than ten buildings and did not look at anything too big and a realtor would not show you something that you could not afford. If I haven't found a home after dragging the young uns around fifty houses I better start to rethink what I am looking for.

"Two large trees limit your possibilities" So many gardens are ruined by too much organic matter; trees, bushes, shrubs etc., I think that if the whole yard had been spread with a coat of cement then skies the limit. You would never have to rake leaves or be bugged by blossoms and blooms. They create havoc, especially in the Spring, when an open space will become completely over run. Also trees can pose a danger to children who might want to climb them.
I'm not sure whether your comment that most home buyers are like you; with children is very P.C. In fact it is downright parentist. Brooklyn accepts all types that want to buy a house. Maybe they don't have young children. Maybe they have no children. Maybe they are just lonely children looking for a home.
Remember that we may all have parents but we don't all have children

Please give me a call when you are looking to do some construction and tell me how much you would like to spend. Maybe 100k is too low but I could make a very decent profit with a $200 estimate. But you can spend as much as you want and a good contractor can find ways to put your money to good use.
But let's say they did spend more; 400 K. then add that to the purchase price of 1.4 million. Well their return is, in the words of Elvis, less than zero. Also if this was a gut renovation then they didn't get to enjoy living there.

I had another look and I regret my critical comments. It doesn't look bad at all. But it doesn' look anything special nor lived in. I would guess that the building was renovated to be sold not occupied. A gut renovation would have cost between 100 to 200 k. If they paid 1.4 million five years ago then I hope that they get the asking price, because it's pretty fair.

But if the yard is fantasic then mine must be Versaille (I'm still have a go at the sarcasm)

Posted by: oldtimer at May 12, 2009 3:17 PM in response to Price Cut at 355 Degraw Street

Hi Isabel
No, I have never done a gut renovation. I imagine that you are suggesting that if I had done so I would be impressed with the interior of this building. Is that what you are saying?
I going to have another look to try and see what it this that I am missing. I know that the yard just looked like three sides of stock fencing. It may be tanquil like a prision yard (I trying out sarcasism, I notice that it is very popular with many posters)But it doesn't have the simlicity of an asian garden or the blooming charm of a european yard.
But dear Iz, getting back to my not having done a gut renovation. If the whole guts are indeed removed then the designer has complete freedom to create a completely new environment. I have seen many spectacle 'modern' spaces in old warehouse and brownstones when the builder was not restricted by any detail.
This does not look the case but I will look again. I have already said too much. It's not a bad space, put in a couple of Barcelona chairs and a Tukish rug and it would be perfect.

Posted by: oldtimer at May 12, 2009 3:07 PM in response to Price Cut at 355 Degraw Street

Although this house looks nice, I don't get why everyone is saying that it is a beautiful renovation. It does look clean and simple but why is it beautiful? There doesn't appear to be any 'modern' features or even much original charm.
And the yard is a box with those stockyard fencing.
I knda agree with the comments on the price drop. Back in the good old days bidding would push a price up. But now I think if I were looking to buy I would be making offers of at least 10% less. There is only one buyer for any house and they will have to listen to the offers that are made.

Over the course of the thirty plus years that I have lived here any number of developers and activists have shown an interest in improving the Gowanus. I assume that they have been well meaning even if the intention was just to throw up shoddy over priced housing for yuppies, gen-xers, hipsters or what ever urban bohemians are next called. But the pollution issue is too big and can only be handled by a government agency.
Toll Brothers have said that they will pull out, well we should not let the door hit them on the way out. This is probably a convenient reason to stop a project. Once the infrastructure, environmental and transportation issues have been improved then top quality developers will want be involved. Maybe Frank Gehry and Guggenheim or the Tate would like to throw up a groovy gallery to reflect the rich history of the Gowanus.
The only people to be concerned are businesses that pollute and neglect their properties, the deranged hookers and the motorcycle clubs.

Architect here. Yes, you need to keep some sort of fire rating above the boiler/furnace. Usually a layer of 1/2" type-x fire rated gypsum board will do the trick. If you're putting up a drywall ceiling throughout, then use the rated stuff overall and you'll be fine.

Check the floor above to see if there is a return air grille. Many times people gerry rigged a makeshift return air plenum between joists with a piece of sheet metal.
Regarding fire rating sheet metal is virtually useless. You must use Type-X sheetrock for any kind of rating.

I used Alex Figliolia several years ago to replace the main sewer. He came (in a chauffered stretch MB) wihin an hour, followed up with an estimate, and started the next day. They were expensive, but very much worth it. Extremely professional, the quality of the work excellent. I had to use them again, 2 years later, to replace the water main, and had the same positive exeperience.
