925 Fulton In Turnaround
After unsuccessfully trying to sell 925 Fulton Street for, at one point at least, $1,500,000, the owner has given up and started to rehab the beautiful shell of a building. At the end of August, DOB granted permits for a complete gut renovation, including the construction of new stairs. This is great news for Fulton…
After unsuccessfully trying to sell 925 Fulton Street for, at one point at least, $1,500,000, the owner has given up and started to rehab the beautiful shell of a building. At the end of August, DOB granted permits for a complete gut renovation, including the construction of new stairs. This is great news for Fulton Street. This stretch of buildings on the corner of Waverly has long been a blight and a barrier to reviving the commercial strip. Now if only something could be done about the methadone clinic across the street.

I talk to meth clinic users all the time, thanks momo.
I have talked to a drooling old black woman about kids, grandkids, life, and happiness and found her to be wise and sweet. I have picked up a pack of cigarettes discarded on the street by a white man who came out of the clinic and told him how I felt about treating the neighborhood with respect.
You can play the race card if you want, but the methadone clinic situation is much more complex than that.
I’ll miss that ESPO piece. It’s at least 6 years old, maybe much older.
I guess this hood won’t be perfect until it’s 100% lilly white, don’t think for a minute that your surburban shite doesn’t stink. If you don’t like the behavior of the meth clinic’s clientel how about speaking to them I do.
Lothar–no doubt that the methadone clients are loud and litter alot. I have not personally witnessed them engaging in drug deals but I guess that’s not a surprise.
It would be good if they start to fix the building by the post office, it’s actually starting to crumble, with bricks falling off etc. I was going to call 311…
Perhaps Mr. Brownstoner was only suggesting that the Methadone Clinic needs to be spruced up like the building with the Stevie Wonder quote graffiti on it that is the headline of this article. Put a plant in a pot and put it on the sidewalk and make the yuppies happy.
They’re also fixing up the “Future Home of Salvation Baptist Church” building next to the post office. Methinks it has something to do with a Bloomberg policy where blighted buildings need to be functional or sold.
The meth clinic is annoying to me because I’ve witnessed their clientele littering the streets with butts, getting in fights, partaking in drug deals, and otherwise loitering. The clinic would improve its standing in the neighborhood if they kept closer tabs on what its users do after they get their fix.
Methadone clinics need to be somewhere. If there were more active retail and restaurants on this stretch the clients of the clinic would not be so noteworthy and blend more into the streetscape than they do now. I guess that’s the Catch 22 of the situation. Really they have caused me no trouble in my time in the neighborhood but I am sure that they do not exactly function as a welcome mat to prospective commercial tenants. A tough situation for sure.
yeah, screw people trying to kick their addiction. i want my property value to increase!
Wha?, trendies don’t need methadone? I thought we were trying to attract Artists…
