Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: 239 Banker Street, Revisited Once More

Curious to see the latest Stop Work Order issued to this property today I decided a trip to this, Greenpoint’s most (in)famous address, was in order. Not surprisingly, there was nary one to be found.

As you can imagine I found this quite fascinating. Thus, on a lark, I decided to see what gives on the Department of Buildings Information System.

It would appear that this property not only still has a standing Stop Work Order on it…

but they have wasted little time violating it!

To be continued, no doubt…

P.S.: Here’s a yet-to-be-investigated complaint yours truly found rather amusing.

Word of advice to “Zoey”: If/when advertising an illegal residential space in an Industrial Business Zone, it maybe advisable to refrain posting a photo of the building in question which clearly features a sign in the foreground that reads “Industrial Business Zone”.

CCTV trompe l'oeil

Nothing says “class” like an elegantly designed vinyl poster affixed to a fire escape replete with a surveillance camera. Thank you, WarmSleepy.

“Issues” at the McCarren Park Pool notwithstanding, exactly when is WNYC Transmitter Park going to open?

Anyone?

It’s not exactly like we have been impatient. Okay, maybe a mite bit.

Nonetheless, if our Parks Supervisor/Advocate has time to fire off an email about the upcoming Open Space Alliance Concerts.

Well, then methinks we deserve an answer.
