South Slope Officially Downsized
South South Slopers are celebrating their victory yesterday, as the City Council (above) voted unanimously to approve the downzoning of South Park Slope and Greenwood Heights. The big question marks now are what happens to the two Isaac Katan 12-story buildings on 15th and 16th streets and the Robert Scarano “Minerva” building. Any guesses? A…

A New Era Has Begun [South South Slope]
and for bitch , bitch, bitch . i’m not crying, i am just trying to make a point. what does everybody have to fall in place and agree on this. saying you may have lost this battle but not the war seems like a guy who was crying on the foundation that was being laid right down the block from his house. of couse he didn’t care less about the stop work order its only a small fine compared what could be lost if that foundation wasn’t laid. have a stop work order have some teeth and this wouldn’t of happened. well too bad. was that rain yesterday of still your tears? boo hoo hoo
Mira!: Issac Katan, Shaya Boymelgreen, Elan Padeh, Slappy Ratner, Marty Cohen et al. Bigoted or not, there is a certain majority flavor in the development community and they don’t really give a mielda about their worker’s safety, your building’s structural integrity, your health or safety. It’s ALL about their (any developer’s) bottom line…damn the torpedoes and the community. Buy a pol and get your way. The downzoning puts some hurt on the big money (where ever it’s coming from). No?
scarano shill, thats funny, i wouldn’t know him if he sat next to me on the bus. didn’t i say that onstead of down zoning the city have closed the loopholes that scarano and company exploited. as for i have lost nothing you are wrong again. at 250 square foot profit i lose 0.43 of building rights. lets see 0.43 times 5000 square feet equals 2150 sq feet. that comes out to a loss of 537,500 dollars. yup that equals nothing. also i just want to say , I am not a developer. i’m just a person that owns one piece of property who lost his golden chance for early retirement. my shitty looking frame house will look shitty for years to come because although i can still build it makes no finacial sense to do so. and how well though out is to build completely out of context 12 story buildings on fourth avenue, wouldn’t 6-8 stories have been enough? downzoning or no downzoning all you have to do is go by this and see it was a mistake. again i’m not against downzoning i just think this would have been better handled by closing loopholes and enforcing the prior regulations. and please don’t out me if you know who i am, i know especially on this blog my view is not popular.
Can someone please explain the codes to me (a 16th street resident). What do C4-3A, R5B, R6B, and R8A mean?
Thanks
Hey, b*tch — it’s “oy gevalt.” To quote that great work of cinema, “Porky’s”: You’re too stupid to even be a good bigot.
What needs to have happened to have been grandfathered? It seems to me that a foundation was at least mostly done on the 15th Street site prior to yesterday. (No idea whether it was done in violation of stop work orders.)
The B*tch is a bit anti-semitic… Not all developers are evil, and certainly not all Jewish ones.
Wah wah wah. I should have started my project sooner. Issac K. must saying the same thing. Oi givalt (sp.) this is gonna cost me. $5mil for the site, a $15mil mortgage, $2-$3mil in demo/site prep/illegal foundation work, and now I may have to start over?!? My investors are gonna be pissed (we’ll just have to pass this cost along to the next round of greater fools). Maybe I should have closed on the site a few months earlier instead of jerking the sellers around for nine months. If I can’t get this built, I sure ain’t paying Kielbassa $400,000 for his parking space on 16th St. And why were neighbors pitching a fit Tuesday night when I was trying to pour a few trucks worth of cement. So what If I was wiping my a$$ with that “Stop-work” order. Screw you 15th & 16th Streets. We will see who wins. You may have won this battle, but I will win the war. F-ME!
BOO HOO 9:25 🙁
