Documenting 'Tear Down & Build Up' on 23rd Street
Some of the Concerned Citizens of Greenwood Heights have set up a photo gallery that will document the razing of 312 23rd Street and the forthcoming construction of condos on the site.

what a nice little looking house that was.
new condos next door
looks like there si a bigger building next door?
well, the permit filing is from simino architects and is listed at 4 floors, so that combo will probably end up being decent..

Happy New Year.

1:40pm, thanks for loving my “spectacular” block. Live here and you’d know why. That’s why we’re so upset to see 312 go…and to be living next door to it.

Do take a walk up the block, through the ‘nabe and even in Green-Wood. I think you’ll realize why folks are dying to live on 23rd St, on both sides of the block.

My bad, it’s further up the block than I thought. The block is till craptacular though, peaceful or not.
1:12PM, it’s no where near a “spectacular view of the Con-Ed substation,” being up the street almost a full block (not that new POS on the corner of 23rd and 6th, that’s got a Con-Ed view and a buzz, I’d guess).
More like a “spectacular view of the Green-Wood Cemetery across the street.” Part of the reason perfectly good frames on this cute block are being raised for new condos. Take a stroll or drive by the block one day.
I am always surprised how quiet and peaceful it is. In between the construction, I mean.
This home was in fine shape in the summer of 2007 before going “log cabin” and open to the elements as the gallery shows. Too bad $$ talks loud and the neighbors leave town.
Looks like it will have a spectacular view of the Con-Ed substation.
