Amazing. The subject of one of yesterday’s posts and the bane of Eastern Clinton Hill’s existence, the Greene Avenue broken-windowed piece of crap is still for sale after all. (That would make sense in light of one comment yesterday suggesting the light in the window was just a ruse to create the illusion of occupancy.) Since the real product itself was proving tough to sell, the developer has taken to misrepresenting the interiors. In yesterday’s Craiglist ad, he posts the above kitchen while stating that the buyer gets to pick his own kitchen finishes. (Of course, if you read the fine print he does say that “All illustrations are for representations and do not constitute a representation of any aspect of the final product.”) Almost as much of a joke as the asking price: $1.2 million. If anyone’s interested in expressing their feelings about this kind of conduct, Mordechai can be reached at 917-257-2670 or emailed at 4urealestate@gmail.com.

  1. This is so common in Bushwick — they build these hideous buildings with bedrooms the size of closets, have the nerve to call them “charming,” and then post pictures that they weren’t even crafty enough to snag from a website — they are obviously scanned-in magazine pages.

    We have a less PC name for these buildings over in Bushwick (besides Fedders and Friedrich), but I’ll keep them to myself so as not to evoke the wrath of the sensitivity police.
