I was under the impression street trees, every 25′ or so were mandatory now-a-days? No?
And back yards? Even under R6 they need to leave 30′.
WTF?
One other comment on building to the property line. The steps of the homes stop at the sidewalk, which will be an invitation for folks walking by to stop and sit on your stairs. A fence or gate with a little grass alieviates this problem, separates the home from the public areas and clearly deliniates that this is private property.
These are 3 family houses, look at the attractive (not) utility meters.
Anon 9:19 is so right, as is 9:16. These builders just don’t get it. Granted, these are a bit better than the ones featured last week, at least they have better light and windows. Too bad they couldn’t figure out a better way to put the stairs in, and landscaping would certainly make a light year’s worth of difference in the overall look. How much would a couple of trees or shrubs cost? Or at least a landscaped area with just some dirt for plantings?
Sigh, another wasted opportunity. Too bad.
Also, enough of the dumbass posts that “In 100 years ago, people will be desperate to live in these landmarks” baloney. Given a choice between quality attractive housing and crap, people with enough money will always choose quality and attractveness. These are the absentee-landlord, boarding house, crack dens of the future–until they fall down or are condemned well before that 100-year mark is met.
Building from property line to property line shows contempt for your buyers: you want to offer them as little as possible to make as much moolah as possible. Eliminating one unit might result in enough space for a little landscaping; building something smaller or with fewer units might be more in proportion to the realities of the lot, and ultimately provide a better and more usable living space for the future owners, but then you couldn’t squeeze every penny out of some poor shmo desperate for housing.
“The biggest criticism I see above is the color of the railing. These are actually nice big houses. Youre picking on the wrong builder.”
Well another person also pointed out the builder/developer built from edge to edge of the property. There’s a condo building we looked at in South Slope (with way better architecture than this) with ground floor units they can’t give away much less sell, who also built to the edge of the property. The residents on the ground floors would look out at people walking by on the sidewalk mere inches away. Think of the noise as you’re trying to sleep and someone passes, talking, literally one foot from your window. Stupid.

These are two family houses not three and I dont think that they are so bad. The biggest criticism I see above is the color of the railing. What about the big windows and the balcony on the third floor. These are actually nice big houses. Youre picking on the wrong builder.
