one million plus 300k renovation to look out on a pile of garbage IS make or break in my book, especially when the area is borderline — house needs to be a sanctuary.
You’d have to build a thirty foot high fence to hide this thing. The patio is about ten feet deep and the neighbors extension is immediately behind it.
I don’t think it’s possible to block the view… It’s truely heinous….
Why do you people complain about realtor spelling? Isn’t real estate one job where education is not needed? It’s not like anyone studies in school to be a realtor.
“Every time you look out one of your rear windows you’ll be blinded by sheer cheap ass ugliness about twenty feet away. The rest of his yard is covered in garbage.”
that’s what trees, shrubs and fast growing bamboo are for.
it’s not a make or break when living in the largest metropolitan area in the u.s.
perhaps in pleasantville.
I went to one of the 213 13th Street open houses. The deal killer is that the neighbor in the rear is building the ugliest extension imaginable — we’re talking cheap Spanish grotesque garbage strewn disgusting beyond thunderdome nasty.
The house itself once gutted and renovated could be fine, there is unused FAR, and the area is coming along, but no matter how nice you make this house, you can’t tear down the rear neighbor’s extension.
Every time you look out one of your rear windows you’ll be blinded by sheer cheap ass ugliness about twenty feet away. The rest of his yard is covered in garbage.
I imagine most of you folks are thinking that I’m over reacting, and are thinking, how ugly can it be? Well, once you see for yourselves, you’ll believe me.
I’d take narrower but with a yard — that’s what I own — but I can’t speak to the heavy-metal bar. If you don’t care about the yard, 213 is about exactly the same square footage, but wider, which makes for a better layout usually.
Regarding the “Clinton Hills” place, (also when will realtors learn to spell “separate” correctly”?), this is listed as having a C of O as a Multiple Dwelling – Converted. I wonder if there is someone out there who understands exactly what this is, as opposed to a C class multi-family building. The C of O on ACRIS shows the following:
One family, 6 furnished rooms, living room, 1 kitchen and 3 kitchenettes.
Multiple Class B Dwelling – Converted.
I am not familiar with this classification. Is this a modified SRO so that if you want to make it into a legal 3 family, you would have to go through the whole SRO routine to get a certificate of non-harrassment, etc, file plans, etc.
How does the Park Slopes listing compare to it’s neighbor up the street- which is much narrower, and next to the heavy metal bar?

We’ve been looking at both…
Crown Heights house is priced as a development site even though they are marketing it as an owner/occupant project. I guess if they find someone who wants to preserve the existing building and add on it could work.
I don’t think any developer who wants to tear down will buy it due to what happened on Lefferts. With the nearby landmarking and some pretty strong community organizations I think any demo permit application will be squashed with a calendering by landmarks.
