Here’s something of a novelty: Potentially dangerous stuff falling off a building that doesn’t seem related to shoddy or unsafe conditions at a construction site. A small part of the façade of a building on 5th Avenue near Carroll Street crumbled last night (see photo on jump), leaving a big pile of rubble on the sidewalk. According to some bystanders who were on the scene this morning, the collapse happened at around 2 a.m., and no one was injured. In the meantime, cops have taped off the sidewalk around the debris and told us they’re waiting for the DOB to inspect the building and decide whether it needs to be vacated. GMAP
how does a shoe repair store ever stay in business? What a pointless business.
who gives a shit if its been there for decades. Its like being happy a wagon wheel repair company is still open.
Any idea what the His & Hers Social Athletic Club was? That space appears to have been closed for years.
i repair all of my own shoes.
Your favorite pair of boots will be worthless after AY is built.
Actually Local Law 11 applies to all buildings over six stories dude. if you have a seven story building, you gotta get an inspection.
i seriously doubt that, 8:05.
Joe pretty much destroyed my favorite pair of boots when all I asked was that he put on topees. Pretty basic shoe repair request. He made a complete mess of them.
Hear, hear, Marlon!
It matters not if the business is “good,” or “friendly,” or “well-stocked,” or any other value so highly prized by yuppies with no sense of local history. They are local, and therefore deserve support!
Anyone can succeed with a “good” business that provides “value” or “service.” But what of the people who cannot do that? They deserve to make a living too!
Can’t stand that communist organization that subsidizes people instead of kicking them out as all good landlords should do. Isn’t ther a law against this? 😉
