I lived at 518 for 10 years until they forced me out so they could completely redo the apartment they hadn't bothered to do anything to for 10 years and charge twice the rent. That building definitely does not fit that block. The building next to it and the one across the street were squats 20 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-45429250209595677882012-06-16T17:52:52.144-04:002012-06-16T17:52:52.144-04:00Ps to anon who claimed demolition was hell I live ...Ps to anon who claimed demolition was hell I live right there that small brick building was pulled down by a tracked excavator in 2 days with very little noise or fuss, what was your problem.

If that debris-gray structure is the final product, I think it's an eyesore. Those balconies and windows don't fit in with the rest of the block at all.
