i think ‘ro’ means no or damaged roof on building
We must save this building!!! I took it in the pooper for the first time in the upstairs apartment back in 87.

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.
I meant Italianate
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.
There’s got to be a ton of unused FAR between those three buildings.
Yeah! Put up a Richard Meier building! Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn will one day be as famous as that the other Fifth Avenue!
