It would appear that despite seemingly being stalled and having a partial Stop Work Order* this Scarano Special has a tenant.
Among other things.

*the reason for which is so exquisite it simply must be shared here.
Interesting factoid: this troubled property has netted five Stop Work Orders to date.

Hello,
My name is Heather (also) and I work at Luxeye Optical. We are located on Bedford and North 7th St and just opened a second location on Bedford and South 1st Street. As part of our grand opening celebration we’re trying to get local artists to show their eyewear related artwork. Would you be able to post our call for entries on your blog?? It would be much appreciated!! We currently serve so many local talents and want to increase our involvement with the Williamsburg art community. Hope you can help!!
Here you go, Heather!

EVENT DATE: Friday March 25th, 2011 5-9pm
ENTRY DEADLINE: March 15th, 2011Show your art in Williamsburg!! Do you have artwork that incorporates eyewear?

The event will be catered and have a DJ and a photographer on site taking pictures of our clients and models in eyewear.

Great Moments In Abjectecture: Conselyea Street
Filed under: 11211, Abjectecture, Bloomblight, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
If all the suits Rodney Dangerfield wore during his career could be amalgamated into a building this specimen, which hails from 14 Conselyea Street, would be the end product. It should also be noted that this rather diminutive structure (by Williamsburg standards, anyway) appears to have racked up an impressive five Stop Work Orders over the last three years. And if you are wondering about the fence: no, it is not supposed to look like that.
