155 Freeman Street: Extremely Tempting
We just sat here staring at the photo of this building for the last ten minutes seriously contemplating whether we should sell our house to by this. The high ceilings, the rounded windows, the color of the old brick, the old storefront, the parking…beautiful. And it’s huge ‘ 7,500 5,700 square feet. Dunno how much…

Dunno how much it costs as the folks over at North Brooklyn Realty haven’t put the darn thing up on their website yet. You can give a call to 718.383.5553 to find out. Just remember to let us know. Update: North Brooklyn’s out, Massey Knakal’s in. See the listing link below.
155 Freeman Street [Massey Knakal] GMAP P*Shark
I have an old fire door in my building. The address of the manufacturer is 155 Freeman Street in Brooklyn. The name of the manufacturer is Alliance Fireproof Door Company. I have no idea how long they were located in this building or even what year it would have been, but the fire door is pretty old. I thought this was pretty interesting and some of you may be interested in this bit of information.
I was interested in the building as well when it first hit the market…the fact it was a carriage horse stable in the early 1900’s explains the layout.
Went into this when it was first listed at 2.1. I think it does need an awful lot of work. There appeared to be water damage and structural issues. But I’m not engineer. The second floor is really nice with the huge skylights. The third floor is nice but pretty small. But the first floor is very dark. It seems like crazy money to me (and the market agrees because it has been on the market for a year now). A woman used to live on the top floor, but one of the windows had no glass. It must have been rather chilly. I wonder what it last sold for and when?
Sorry, some trading shortcut lingo.
when you were going to “bot” it you mean?
what are you, a botfly?
When I was looking at 105 a couple years ago, the environmental tests had been done and there was nothing there to worry about or clean up.

Hey – Nobody seemed to report about the Radioactive Waste Facility (RADIAC) on Kent Avenue being just down the block from the new luxery highrise being built on Williamsburg’s waterfront. Seems like maybe the developers do have influence over the press! Maybe it would have been a story if it were located in Greenpoint?
re: Williamsburg Cancer cluster (Not Greenpoint)
The NYC Dept of Health completed health studies in 2003 and 2006 available at nyc.gov. Both studies showed cancer rates in Greenpoint (and it specified all variaties of the disease) are no greater than anywhere else in the city and in some cases lower. The rare sarcoma cancer cases that were found on Devoe Street and Grand Street in Williamsburg were actually trying to be portrayed as occuring in Greenpoint in some papers and by some elected officials. People have to understand that there is a tremendous amount of money being invested in sections of Williamsburg south of the bridge that really have no pubic transportation or neighborhood amenities. These developers are well aware of the challenges that the quick access to mass transit and solid neighborhood environment that Greenpoint has pose on their developments created in less attractive areas. And yes, these developers have friends in high places. Connect the dots!
