Shell of Its Former Self, 925 Fulton Street For Sale
Poor 925 Fulton Street. This beautiful four-story building between Clinton and Waverly has been neglected for years, but is now getting another shot at life. After being in the same hands for more than three decades, the four-unit property traded back in 2005 for $200,000 and then again in 2007 for $953,000. According to the…
Poor 925 Fulton Street. This beautiful four-story building between Clinton and Waverly has been neglected for years, but is now getting another shot at life. After being in the same hands for more than three decades, the four-unit property traded back in 2005 for $200,000 and then again in 2007 for $953,000. According to the sign on the door, it’s for sale again. We tried calling the number (917-755-5461) but were unable to reach a human being. Does anyone know what the asking price is? How great would it be if someone would fix this place up. GMAP P*Shark
I’m all for BIDs, but the Fulton Street BID (which I think was initially started by PACC 4-5 years ago) hasn’t gotten much traction. Part of the problem is that it covers a wide area with dramatically different needs–Fulton from Rockwell Place all the way to Classon. Fulton Street in Ft. Greene is comparatively thriving, but Clinton Hill still needs a lot of help.
Will Ft. Greene landlords/merchants be willing to pony up for such a large BID, particularly when their retail corridor is doing comparatively well? Maybe not.
Conversely, there are likely a lot of absentee landlords on the less desirable sections of Fulton (a big problem with any BID)who won’t care enough to participate.
I wish the Fulton Street BID the best, but they have a challenge on their hands.
wasder- the purpose of participating in a blog is interaction- for good or bad. Take it from one who knows :-).
Posting implies you expect and want a reaction or feedback, and that’s what it should be. If you feel there is a point you want to discuss or refute, you should. That’s what the blog comment section is for.
It isn’t the same thing as feeding the troll. For all the back and forth re What, he isn’t a troll. A troll will simply toss out unrelated insults and spew garbage or try to get a rise by posting outrageous comments a la propjoe.
Ignore his staccato crap. He’s a spokesman just for himself, and he is bitter which is why he only delights in failure.
“Ok wader you want to see things the Asshat way. That’s OK homebboy but, leave me out of it. Just let me prove my points and just skip over my posts, OK good…”
No i don’t want to see anything the Asshat way. I am trying to understand you, though you likely do not deserve my patience or my time. you started this thread by making a fairly reasonable statement about supporting business on Fulton. Then when somebody suggested that the BID might help you laughed and chortled that there wouldn’t be any city money for a BID (which seemed to me to be a nasty way of saying you are not in support of the BID). Then you say you are for the BID. Then somehow Blue Ribbon sushi has something to do with this.
I will not skip over your posts if a) they say something reasonable (rarely) or b) they say something so nasty and heinous as to require a response (most of the time). And this despite the fact that I was in the “don’t feed the troll” camp a few weeks ago.
What do others think about this. Respond or ignore?
“And what the f***k does the price of sushi on 5th Ave have to do with a vacant property on Fulton Street? Brownstoner was not dissing the property as much as the seeming a-hole who is trying to flip it for so much more than he bought it for without fixing it.”

Your glee in the idea that the BID might not have enough city funding seemed to me to be an indicator that you weren’t really supportive of the notion. In general you seem to have glee in other people’s misfortunes. it is your most mystifying trait.

What, the funding is from the property owners. It is city sponsored and they are involved, but the money is provided by the property owners in the form of a special assesment they pay based on the amount of street frontage they have in the BID zone. That is why they work, they are funded by those owning property in the zone. That assesment is dedicated to the BID and cannot be cut or allocated to other sources by the City. I would think you would be happy with this. Local property owners electing to support this self funded improvement district is a great thing. Why argue against that?
