Demolition couldn’t happen to a more worthy candidate.
This building is not being demolished, the site is a parking lot behind this building.
It’s ridiculous to tear this building down. There are huge surface parking lots behind that a new tower could be built above. We shouldn’t be tearing down viable existing housing, we should only be adding new housing.
Unless renovating makes no economic sense. This is a turd. The land could be better used by clearing it and building denser.
The building is not being torn down, as you mentioned the new building is planned for the parking lot.
Since the 4 train is directly above the 161St Street D line, this building is near both of the lines.
