reagrding roebling. the concerns were as follows: no water pumps as mentioned in the offering plan (higher floors will not have adequate water pressure – no water when other floors are using water) . wrong electrical service (not enough when a/c dishwasher and microwave are running). wrong appliances (hood missing). underpowered a/c units. wrong water supply entering the building. the list goes on and on. the report was from fall of 2006.
8th st-
the gilligans are at it again with the jovial assistance of the T & A carpenter crew.flip flip ahoy!
Funny how no one has mentioned that the next door neighbor to that 8th St. building is a loading dock for a funeral home!
Roebling street is clearly not a new building – this was a gut reno of an old warehouse/loft.
Interesting 01.29pm. What were the major concerns and what was the date of the report? Would the certificate of occupancy not cover any problems?
I saw 228 8th st. It’s been on the market quite a while. I’m shocked it sold. Everyone has their own taste.

Show me a bonafide brownstone for $1.175M, and I will show you a bonafide brownstone that is not in Park Slope closer to the park than this house.
Also, I’m not sure what distinguishes a “greater fool” from someone who “overpays” for a more expensive house. Overpaying is overpaying.
I agree with 10:30, 10:38 & 10:42. Greater fools still lurk. Sometimes buyers are just filthy rich and can afford to “overpay” but such people would not live that close to 4th Ave. It’s three stories and not even a bonafide brownstone. DISCONNECT.
the roebling building is a mess. i was in contract, brought in an engineer (which upset the broker), and realized that very little matched the offering plan. dropped out of contract. i have the engineer’s report (costing me about 2K) if anyone wants it….
