It Came From 4th Ave!
Pictures can’t really do justice to the latest addition to 4th Avenue’s much-vaunted streetscape and retail scene. Cinder block-o-licious! GMAP

I am starting to seriously consider moving back to Manhattan. Value is appearing on Manhattan more quickly than in Park Slope. As I often say, I try to let the market do my work for me. If prices drop to a level I am comfortable with in Manhattan before they do in Park Slope, back across the river I go.
It looks like a high rise stack of studio apts. Ridiculous.
Basementalist;
Understood! Will keep in mind for the future.
You know,when I passed it a few days ago,I actually said to myself: “I wonder if the developer took this step to make Mr. B go apoplectic”. I knew it would be a matter of days before this would show up.
“i know ill get tomatoes thrown at me, but i prefer 4th avenue to 5th. when i get out of the subway i like to walk to 1st street from the union stop and cut across the mcdonalds. 4th avenue just seems more “city” to me than 5th avenue does.
also i cant tell you how many times tho ive almost gotten run over crossing 4th ave. it’s like a real life game of Frogger!!! i kinda love it!”
Sounds like you miss Manhattan.
benson: Kindly stop ruining our fun. Much more pleasing to believe the street front will be cinderblocks for the rest of time. Comports better with our already established beliefs.
Thankfully a month from now no one will remember your comment, but will remember the photo and original post, will make references in future threads to the “cinderblock building” on 4th Avenue, etc.
There’s no parking requirement for an 8-unit building. The base requirement is 40% but it’s waived if fewer than 15 spots are required.
The parking requirement is also waived if the lot is less than 10,000 square feet. This one is 2000 square feet.
So it’s double-waived.

before it was cinderblocked up the entire inside was tagged to hell.

When I was getting coffee across the street from this place, I chatted with one of the workers who were putting up the wall. He said that the wall was required because the (former) parking garage violated some type of code.
What Mr. B’s post does not inform folks about is that the cinder block is the interior wall. Obviously some type of facing will be put over it.
Retail store: They’re going to sell cinder blocks.
