93 Nevins: Like Molasses
Man, it’s taking the developers of 93 Nevins a long time to get this environmentally-friendly project done. We mentioned that things seemed to be going slowly at the double-townhouse when we checked in on the progress back in August. Since then some work on the top floor has happened but not a whole lot more….
Man, it’s taking the developers of 93 Nevins a long time to get this environmentally-friendly project done. We mentioned that things seemed to be going slowly at the double-townhouse when we checked in on the progress back in August. Since then some work on the top floor has happened but not a whole lot more. The extra carrying costs combined with weakening market can’t be good news for these guys. Anyone know what the hold-up is? We sent an email to them but haven’t heard anything back.

Okay, it has been slow. But there’s no “mold, bugs and vermin.” And there’s more than one guy swinging a hammer.
I think one guy is doing the construction work. I’m not kidding. Walk by now and then and you can hear a single hammer going at it.
Going green with not enough greenbacks. They should of just went to home depot.
The only thing growing at this place is mold and vermin babies.
I lived across the street from this building from 1994-6. It was a crack house. Then again, about 1/3 of the buildings in the neighborhood looked abandoned in those times.
There were no windows, part of the roof was missing and the scaffolding was there before my arrival. According to my old neighbors, it had been that way for almost 20 years. All the rain, snow, and filth must have had a long term effect on the structure.
Look, you want to renovate this building, good for you. I am all for improving this place and making it habitable. But calling it Health House? That’s a good way to get sued when an inspector finds all the mold, bugs and vermin.
The Scoops are coming!
actually, they’re almost finished. this is the new look for 2009 and beyond, it’s definately eco-friendly but with a third world look to blend in with the general climate of things in the US. look for lots of colorful street vendors and you have to buy all your water bottled or risk disease. they should begin removing scaffolding in the coming days.
you two should have a bamboo race!
Brooklynnative, it’s still going to take 5 years to grow your own bamboo for your green floors.
It’s the ‘slow development’ movement. Very current. Those bricks are actually growing organically and ranging free. They’ve seeded the crenelations, and in the spring, steel spanners will slowly sprout across the top.
