A Building sidewalk shed sits and waits
Late last summer, workers erected a sidewalk shed outside the World Famous A Building on 13th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue... Per the DOB, there's a permit for the shed "for emergency repair to balconies."

I live around the corner and I don't think I've never even seen any residents ON their balconies. They've always looked quite precarious to me. One potted plant too many and boom! you're crashing to the street. At least the scaffolding might save you.
Having watched the construction of this building, I wouldn't want to live in it. I'll take my sturdy old tenement any time over rushed new construction in this city.
And of course this LOVELY new building, which was supposedly such a BOON to the neighborhood, has now spawned yet another hideous, it-will-be-there-for-years sidewalk shed. Thanks, A Building! Thanks for nothing!
@Anon 9:25 - you are SO right!
You don't see them on the balconies because they are too busy at the rooftop pool.
Built by the infamous slumlord Ben Shaoul, the purchasers have been suing, selling and generally pissed off about their ordeal at buying in this crapload of a craptrap building.
I don't know how someone could have bought in here if they even saw the outside of the building. You don't have to be an architect or an engineer to see the sloppy, unfinished work.
