5th Avenue’s “This is Not a Toilet” building may finally be in its end days. The DOB’s given the structure’s owner the go ahead to put it out of its misery. (The city disapproved an initial filing to replace it.) Rat poison signs were recently posted on the building’s exterior, the typical prelude to the wrecking ball.

  1. Conversations on this site are getting worse. It’s like trying to ask for directions surrounded by interrupting annoying three year olds. Bold type>Not bold type… Where’s the delete button BSTONE!

  2. Hey what exactly does the spray painted box with an ‘X’ in it mean? The letters RO? I know it’s a warning of some sort to the fire department about the condition of the building, but where does it come from? Translation please.

  3. Those Italian buildings are a common site in many cities and for the money not worth renovating. They are architecturally nothing of importance and if you have enough money to throw away, I’m sure some contractor will love. Every building has a life span and those that are well kept survive longer. This one needs hospice and burial.
