A massive blaze that drew over 20 firefighting vehicles to the scene gutted the brick townhouse at 67 Cranberry Street on Saturday morning; the fire is believed to have begun around 9 a.m. and no one was injured. The house had been undergoing a gut renovation as part of its conversion from a two-family to a one-family house since being purchased in November 2007 for $2,800,000.

I feel terrible for the homeowners
what a horrible tragedy
I wonder if the insurance pay out covers the back mortgage payments…
Insurance. Accusations. Lawsuits.
Expect this to be an eyesore in the neighborhood for a while.
Tragic for the homeowner!
Metropolitan is the contractor. there are a number of permits and violations for different things. The fire is already registered but the DOB states that the building was shaking! scarey and sad.
I would LOVE to know who the contractor was as I’m in the process of trying to find one for my renovation!
If the fire was intentionally set, then it’s a crime….double whammy for Mr. B.
Frantic, that was great!
I think Frantic was being sarcastic.
if i want to read about crime and feel sad for a victim, there are plenty of sites for that.
if i want to read about a fire and feel sad for an old house, than i want to read it here.
if you don’t like it, don’t read it.
Yes, Brownstoner, this risks giving the impression that fires happen all the time in Brklyn Heights; I am offended that you would print this without comprehensive context of how many other fires happened around the borough in the past year. You are printing this to create fear and generate hits to your website!
