566 Hancock Street's Seen Better Days
This is a sad one.

This is a sad one. By last fall, the nine-unit building at 560 Hancock Street at Stuyvesant Avenue had been allowed to deteriorate to such a point that the Department of Buildings ordered that the building be vacated. Judging from a photo on Property Shark (which you can see on the jump), a handful of apartments were still occupied as recently as 2006, though the top floor appears gutted and windowless. What a shame—it’s a beautiful building. It looks like HPD has stepped in to put up the scaffolding but shouldn’t the landlord lose the building? This is a disgrace. GMAP P*Shark DOB
What, your finger is deep in your ear, trying unsuccessfully to stimulate what’s left of your syphalitic brain.
We may be in a recession, but that does not mean there isn’t money out there. I still see rehab, renovation and building going on here in Crown Heights, and I would imagine everywhere else as well. There is never any success in sitting on your ass on the sidelines and criticising.
Where are YOUR good ideas? You do nothing but belittle and deride. Your defeatist and belligerent attitude is really getting to be an old song and dance. Seen it, didn’t like it. Next.
Hey Dave I ask you a question about the “Buttermilk” dust off! Your non-response tells me it’s dead. You see Asshead the Gentrification movement is dead. For the last seven years the retards have jacked–up New York City (Albee Square Mall and Coney Island for example) and now you are witnessing a collapsing Mutant Asset Bubble and I’m so delighted!
The retards need to have their asses kick before we can return to some normalcy. Maybe the TARP will have a provision for some skittles…
The What (Obama will save us…)
Someday this war is gonna end…
I don’t know who Faison is or whether he owns other buildings in the neighborhood. I bet he does.
When areas like Bedford Stuyvesant and Park Slope were being developed the City of Brooklyn wanted a European feel by having anchor buildings that had curved or slanted corners. This building is to beautiful to just let sit like it is today.
And still he adds nothing. What an Asshat.
When someone is trying to preserve their property value they do typically, care a lot about everything else around them.
This kind of thinking of yours leads me to believe that, if you were actually a broker, you were the sleaziest, slimiest sort out there. This would be supported by your comments here and your general attitude, belligerence and assinine tone.
“What,
Serious question: Why would you be against preserving this piece of Bed Stuy history?”
Wait a minute Brownstoner! I never said I was against anything! I looking at the reasons why! Don”t come off as some Knight in shinning armor trying to save Bed Stuy, you are trying to preserve your Property value and you could care less about any thing else!
Brownnstoner you sound so disingenuous makes me want to puke…
BTW Buh bye Retards..
The What (Obama is moving to Bed Stuy)
Someday this war is gonna end…
I’m sure 60 years of rent control and rent stabilization took its toll on the owner(s) of this fine building.
brownstoner…I don’t think the What has had one constructive idea since I’ve been posting on here. Expecting that type person to actually add something to the conversation as opposed to just negative, annoying vitriol is against his pathology.
“Personally, I think if you’ve milked the building dry, deferred maintainance to the point of no return, and reached the point where it’s uninhabitable and dangerous, you should be forced to sell to the city or an appropriate non-profit, and the building should be immediately sold or developed into affordable housing. I know that’s how the city ended up becoming the largest landlord forty years ago, but that’s because they decided to hold onto and manage the properties. A better solution would be to sell or cede to a non-profit, a religious entity, a tenant association, or a private owner. The sooner a building like this is renovated, and full of rent paying tenants, or owners, the better for the city’s tax coffers and for the neighborhood.”
And the new owners will do the same thing! Milk the building dry and we are back to square one. Hey retards we are in a DEPRESSION! Where is the money coming from to “Rehab” these places???? The problem is you did not do your homework when you brought you overpriced POPS!
The What (MM That finger)
Someday this war is gonna end…
