Trash build next to a handsome deco building. Bronx deserves better.
That Deco building looks like it was Local Law 11’d unfortunately
Badaly is responsible for a good chunk of the architectural defacement in the Bronx in recent years.
This is atrocious.
I understand that this isn’t a limestone mansion but the rent is less than the monthly maintenance fees on those palaces. The house that was there was beyond long in the tooth, the Deco building on the left needs major renovations and isn’t truly a great example of art deco- though it could be nice. The building on the right is certainly not a great example either.
If well maintained, it will provide 55 new homes. The vast majority of housing stock in NYC isn’t exceptional architecture. It would have been nice if they used better materials on the outside but it’s more than was there.
I’m sure Brooklyn would welcome your personal investment to renovate any number of buildings or to hire RAMSA to design a new building.
yea seriously. I think hypocrisy in this website is ridiculous – either build RAMSA-quality houses at 3k-5k/sqft and kick out all middle-low classes and don’t complain about prices or build practical buildings that might look ok to ugly
The Deco building isn’t a “great example” because the owners have stripped the parapet and original casement windows
