No Takers For Red Hook Piece o' Crap
It was with little surprise that we noticed last week that this pair of super fugly houses at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street in Red Hook have not found buyers yet. When will the builders of shlock get a clue. The unfortunate aesthetics may only be part of the difficulty in selling these places. The…
It was with little surprise that we noticed last week that this pair of super fugly houses at 41 and 43 Wolcott Street in Red Hook have not found buyers yet.

Gee, jbjb- you have been reading the Protocols of the Elders Of Zion, haven’t you? Not that you would consider that any other developer around the city or country could be just as bad or worse? No no- it’s all about the Jews. And I guess crime in this country is only commited by Black people and terrorism only by Muslims (Before you put your foot in your mouth, The Murrah building in Okla. CIty was blown up by home grown American “Christians”- not that I would label them Christian in any shape or form.) No no, by all means let’s use brownstoner to propagate all kinds of prejudices and crap attitudes.
It never ceases to amaze me how these posts become a grandstand for such idiocy.
I agree with the comments that the majority of Hasidic owned development that I’ve seen is GOD-AWFUL. The interiors look ok, but usually very shoddy construction. They have no interest in quality, architecture, or design beautification. It seems to be all about the money. Isn’t it sad? You’d think they’d be king proponents of building visually pleasing structures that would help the community. Duh.
kudos to CHP for having the courage to speak out and tell the truth about a rather ugly aspect of this site. Maybe being faceless and nameless on the web brings out the worst in some of us but it’s nothing to be proud of.
Forget the developer, shred the Architects license and degree
why do people in this city love to make fun of other people’s homes and neighborhoods? Be happy you have a roof!
I bet the ‘driveways’ are illegal curb cuts. Wouldn’t it be great to have your garage taken away after dropping a mil on a pos.
prices have been dropping like a rock in the Columbia St Waterfront area, red hook will soon follow.
Wow, looks like the housing units going up every week in Queens.
Couldn’t “KFIR” be taken as a derogatory slur in some places?
I’m going to go on record by saying that “Hasids are building this crap…they must be stopped” is as offensive to me as saying that black people are responsible for all street crime. I can’t stop you from thinking it, much as I may want to, but for crying out loud, some of you need to learn to edit yourselves. Someone’s religion or race is irrelevant to their building skills or aesthetics. I don’t like these buildings, period. I don’t care who built them. Sometimes the anti-Semitism on this site, specifically anti-Hasidic feelings make me wonder if I haven’t wandered into the Aryan Nation by mistake. We can be better than this.
