Big news on 4th Avenue: At long last, people can move into the Novo. The DOB granted the condo a temporary certificate of occupancy on Friday, only a few days before some of the building’s buyers would have been able to walk away from their contracts. It was rumored that the development would not get a C of O until its developers finished work on the public playground behind the building. The temp certificate is only good through July 25, and there are still 23 outstanding requirements to be fulfilled before the building is completely good to go. While the playground is still not finished, in recent weeks contractors have stepped up work on the space, and it looks like it should be done within a couple months (see pic on jump). We bet there are some extremely relieved Novo buyers who spent the weekend celebrating.

I agree with 10:04. The building is missing curb appeal. It would look so much nicer and inviting with trees around it.
relieved? I think I would have wanted a loophole to get out of my contract. This has turned out to be a real POS
WHY WHY WHY dont Boylemgreen (or even the buyers after they take over) just put some beds and street trees in front of this damn building (and the Crest too) –
For a few thousand dollars the whole building’s look can be improved 10x
looks like a hospital
What is the sales situation as of now for this development?
Ahh, if only the grade level has something of interest. I hate walking by this building.
sucks for all those people that could not get out of their contracts…. of course they could always try to flip it .. for a large loss
Fugly.
That place is residential?!?
