So much for this being a safe desk job! On our way home yesterday, we walked passed 328 Grand Avenue, the two-story warehouse whose demise we have been lamenting, and took a few photos of the progress; then we crossed the street to take a couple of photos of the interior (staying on the sidewalk but standing underneath the shed). About half an hour later we were sitting on our stoop with the kids when we heard three or four fire trucks converging in the general vicinity of 328. Turns out part of the building had collapsed — right over where we’d been standing. Time to invest in a hard hat.

yes it’s public records, but its another thing to post it TWICE with CAPITAL letters on this forum, while bagging everyone to call and ask.
I haven’t seen it at the One Hanson post, to call up and ask what’s doing with building, or any other post of today that I can think now.
It is public access jackass. Just go to the DOB site and plug in 328 Grand Avenue. Not rocket science – and nothing to do with religion.
I’m confused. what does jewish have to do with anything? isn’t this about the building?
anyway, the building was beautiful and it would’ve been cool and possibly more lucrative for the developer to make apartments within, with something contextual rising up from. while the neighborhood is still somewhat “bad”, anyone who’s looking for an apt. here tends to be looking for something of quality or in a brownstone. those other buildings across the street are so dismal that as the neighborhood changes, they will not be able to find the buyers and renters they could have gotten at top dollar with slightly better design and probably same cost. bummer.
anon 11:55, would you like if i post your contact info on a public forum, to get tons of people to harass you about your business?
Or I guess it’s because his name seems jewish?
You fucking moron, and shameless idiot.
it is so sad that they have torn this down. the building across the street is SO poorly built and here i am sure there will be another poorly built one. how sad that wonderful OLD buildings are being torn down for crap and the city approves of it in “bad” neighborhoods.
Guess what? A hardhat would not have done you a lot of good.
Whenever you see an unreinforced masonry wall rising more than twelve or fourteen feet into the air,keep your distance.
This wall in particular was all windows.
How stupid could the contractors be?

This development is R6 as long as they get the plan approved and the foundation in before the downzoning takes effect. The sky is basically the limit. Technically, their top height is 130′ (thirteen stories) but you can actually go taller than that with set backs, etc.
