It Came From 4th Ave: The Electryifying Conclusion!

When we last checked in on the 4th Ave sliver at the corner of Carroll, the rental building’s facade was sporting a snazzy new layer of cinder blocks. More recently, however, the cinder blocks have been covered with the same materials used on the side of the building—though the colors of the two sections of street-level facade are now different, and it’s unclear when, if ever, the discrepancy will be remedied. Still: Progress! The other new thingamajig on the structure is a gated garbage can area that may well turn out to be the best looking thing about this building.

DH- so true
Heather – haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Gemini, I’m not sure what they rented for, but I’m fairly certain that every unit is rented….
If they paint the new blocks the same color as the older ones in the back, I dare say it won’t look completely horrendous. Someone is going to need to keep on top of the graffiti which will no doubt appear though.
They should make Park Avenue the Park Avenue of Brooklyn, it’s true. I mean it has that lovely shaded median right down the middle!
What’s the deal with all the 4th Ave buildings not having any ground level retail? Seems like such a waste…instead of having amenties that would bring more foot traffic, there are blank, depressing walls.
Were they taking this “Park Avenue of Brooklyn” thing literally?
Wait….doesn’t Brooklyn already have a Park Avenue?
Are these the same rental units that started out asking $4K for a 2 BR????????????????
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just this morning i saw a family come out and throw out trash into into those as they were leaving for work or something. it was the first time i noticed what they did to it.
heather, and yes. it has a very strange feel to it. those stones.
*rob*
it looks rusticated to me.
Yikes!
How can this and 1 Pierrepont (see below) inhabit the same borough — or planet?
Oooo, what could one call those blocks? Faux-stone painted popcorn cement?
