Crappy Contractors Not Just for South Slope Anymore
Just in case you were getting jealous that South Slope homeowners have all the fun, word from East 8th Street in Kensington that irresponsible contractors are alive and well on the other side of the cemetary as well.

Just in case you were getting jealous that South Slope homeowners have all the fun, word from East 8th Street in Kensington that irresponsible contractors are alive and well on the other side of the cemetary as well. This particular house has been sitting in this condition for about three weeks, with debris sliding into neighboring yards. Not surprisingly, the contractor did not have a permit for mechanical demolition (he’s now removed the backhoe). Sound familiar? While this thing hangs in limbo, neighbors get to enjoy the view while contemplating the seven-story building (with 12 condo units and six parking spaces) that will soon be blending right in on the street of modest woodframe houses. Whose money is on Fedders?

Update on this entry: The demo boys are back, sans mechanical equipment putting the workers up on the second and third “floors” of that mess in a dangerous and precarious situation. This after a visit from the guy claiming to be the builder of the construction part of the project wondering whether we’re “going to continue to be a problem.” Nice.
I would like to say I am shocked and surprised…
isn’t it kinda sick and crass that I am not?
Look for a piece in the Brooklyn Eagle “tomorrow on last week’s South Slope/Greenwood Hts. demo debacle.
Hopefully Mr. B’s blog will get some cred” again for breaking the story and an even better follow up (if I do say so myself).
