Our own Gabby Warshawer has done some detective work on behalf of the New York Observer, discovering that the man responsible for designing the most buildings in New York City is Gerald Caliendo, a Queens-based architect with 1,604 single-family homes, affordable housing and apartment buildings, none of which are going to win any beauty contests. The third most prolific architect was Brooklyn-based Henry Radusky, who had 893 new projects okayed by the DOB, including a few we’re familiar with, like the one above, taken in June.

The building is actually attractive when viewed from 4th Ave – to the Carroll St side. This angle is by far the worst. That said the car park on 4th Ave is a travesty
this building is probably not a bad rental as it has about 9 windows per apartment. and actually its not all that terrible especially given what it replaced which i think is an empty lot. given the narrow lot i think they did an ok job. aren’t we suppose to be creating affordable housing? just my 2 cents.
I’d rather convert the Auto repair shop and live in that.
Where u been Biff? On holiday as the Canadians say???
I didn’t know that Tupperware had branched into stackable apartments.
I’ll take the…fifth one up. No, the sixth one up.
I still think it looks like shoe boxes stacked up.
You could post this picture every day and every day I would chuckle. It’s just so hilariously ugly.
I’m not as upset by the aesthetics but what’s up with the “one car parking garage” on the 1st floor instead of a lobby? That’s the question I need answered.
owner12, and the House of Detention has windows facing lovely Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill, but I wouldn’t want to live there…
