This place put all the bedrooms on the front side with the windows and all th living spaces inside with no natural lighting or ventilation. Wow nice planning you genius architects. Even little children know to put a pinhole in the shoebox so their little rodent pets can breathe.

I know it is not cheap to own a dog and take proper care of it so to me this means with more affluent residents comes more dogs. I also don't get why a 20 year old would want to be house bound at that time in their life. Travel, staying over a friend's house overnight, staying out late are not possible with such a responsibility.

So I guess this falls under the architecture trend of "tenement chic" or maybe this mess is the by product of making 5 bedrooms in a space that should not have more than 2.

We loyal readers are getting sick and tired of looking at pictures of the building's unsightly, butt-ugly pitch black backside. Our eyes yearn to visually savor what this important East Village architectural treasure actually looks like. Because we all know no one would ever dare to put the back of the building in the front, except for maybe Ben Shaoul.
