We have to admit to feeling a certain satisfaction as the developers of one of the biggest eyesores and examples of crapola design in Clinton Hill have struggled to find suckers to move into their new building. They gave up trying to find a buyer a while ago and have spent the last couple of months looking for renters. Just last night we noticed some lights on in the top unit for the first time. Still no takers for the lower triplex, which includes this broken window on the second floor (it’s been like this for several weeks). We can only hope that other developers of the Fedders variety take note of how long it has taken to get just one apartment rented here.

Nothing Like A Little Lopsided Construction [Brownstoner]
no racists here buddy
electricgreek,
Clinton Hill is a desirable area not because of developers but because it is a neighborhood of, mostly, 19th century landmarked rowhouses and freestanding mansions filled by a community that has, and continues to, care about and maintain the old places.
Please post in a civil and respectful manner
Hey EG – nice with the subtle accusation of racism to the non-white residents to Clinton Hill. Most “long-time” residents aren’t racist – so they don’t care about the skin color of the person moving into the neighborhood. Keep your racsim in bayside.
To be clear, we were not expressing satisfaction at the fact that someone had thrown a rock into this window–that’s bad news under any circumstances. We were expressing satisfaction that this developer, who thought he could just slap up this piece of crap, collect his money and hit road, leaving the neighborhood with a major eyesore, did not succeed in his plan and has suffered some economic pain for selfish, short-sighted decisions.
i own a number of brownstones myself . and i do understand the whole new construction thing . i refuse to buy new construction myself . hell i live in a 96 yr old home in bayside myself . but to be gald that people are breaking windows on some1 else’s property is sad .
btw jimmy 1 of your friends racheal ,is living in 1 of my places in bushwick
Yes, white people are evil
the old time residents were white. I think you must be pretty young, born in the 60s?
what if when you were renovating your brownstone some asshole was breaking your windows ?
would you like it ? i would think not . my mother always tells me . don’t laugh at other people’s misfortune .
just like your not happy about the new construction in your neighborhood ,im sure there were old time residents that weren’t happy seeing you ( a white guy ) moving into there hood . should they of broken your windows?
