Horror Show Friday
We were going to pull together three different places to feature in this edition of Horror Show Friday but this place seemed to be able to stand on its own. Fittingly, the broker manages to reach new depths of illiteracy as well. $529000 Amazing luxury 2 family [Craigslist]

This is a renovation? Would love to see what it looked like before.
I think you all are missing the old world craftsmanship that has gone into this project. The unaligned butt joints on the “crown moldings” for one (I assume the broker means the window casings, as there’s no sign of actual crown moldings in any of the pictures). But my favorite is the tile work in the bathroom and the border with the misaligned tiles – that’s the kind of detail you don’t see anymore. Oh yes, and the landscaping.
Where exactly is this masterpiece?
So we have a Tuscan, Dyker Heights and hurricane Katrina look going on. Nice use of styles, nice finishes.
Very impressed. Should sell fast.
Bxgrl;
You are correct: there has been an ongoing problem of developers giving bribes to DOB inspectors. I have a friend who is an inspector for the DOB, and he tells me all the time about developers who try to bribe him to look the other way. I may be wrong on this, but I think this problem is mainly with developers of bigger buildings.
Yes, they must have an achitect or PE sign off on them, but it is almost perfunctory in the case of these small buildings. They generally work off a template design and make minor alterations to suit the site. The architect then signs off.
benson- Tell me what you think about how developers do circumvent the building code. Isn’t there a huge problem with inspectors taking bribes, as well as there simply not being nearly enough inspectors?
And, although I know it has been mentioned over and over but the brain cells die daily- would all of these private developers have to have an architect on record? Of course I know the big buildings do. But little guys like this- would the plans on this house have had an architect sign off on them?
Z,
You’re right. I’ll let the issue go.
Montrose: please don’t respond on that issue.

“Wow – I’m under fire!â€
How does it feel? Does shit burn quickly?
“Bxgrl: perhaps this is a matter of values, but in my book what BRG did was reprehensible.â€
Then take it up with ME. Oh, wait, you did. I responded and you never re-addressed me. You bowed out?
“To accuse the pastor in a public forum of lining his private pockets is the equivalent of a witchhunt. “
Benson, sounds like you’re on a witchhunt yourself and I’m your target!
“I have no use for anybody who plays such dirty pool.â€
THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Get out of the water. Get off the topic already. Move on!
“The reason I called Montrose on this is that I expect more from her.â€
Oh, please, you want validation for your stupidity?
“Montrose: I bring this topic up on this thread because you never responded to it.â€
Ironic, you never responded to me in that last thread. Should I bring it up in every thread?
“BRG: I am not responding to you, for the reasons discussed.â€
Respond! You just might get hammered again by me, just like on 15.05.08 Friday Links, this time worse.
“Gotta go!â€
Are you heading to the toy store??
Get a set of Balls, will you!
