This is one of the ugliest buildings in New York. Be that as it may, why are 14 units available now, 24 years after the building was first occupied?
Structures don’t yield residences. They contain, they have, they could consist of or they could even feature, but they don’t yield. Sorry, I know this is just a blog and “Vanessa Londono” is just the name for a content template, but proper English is one of my pet peeves. When you try too hard to sound smart you end up sounding stupid.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Proper English is one of your pet peeves? Or did you phrase that thought poorly? With standards as high as yours, it surely must be the former, though usually *improper* English is what plagues peevish people. How very interesting.
I think they were going for that 1970s NYCHA housing look when they designed this facade.
I have always liked the horizontal bands of Art Moderne buildings. I wish my plain brick box from the 1950s had darker bricks to minimize the window voids. However, this building calls to mind some sort of insect.
