Development Watch: 277 Gold Street
The Lalezarian family’s ambitious rental project takes up almost the entire block of Gold Street between Tillary and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. We say almost because there was a self-storage owner who refused to part with a building in the middle of the block. We checked in on the Concord side of the project…
The Lalezarian family’s ambitious rental project takes up almost the entire block of Gold Street between Tillary and Concord Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. We say almost because there was a self-storage owner who refused to part with a building in the middle of the block. We checked in on the Concord side of the project a month ago when it had yet to top out; the Tillary segment, however, is much further along. In fact, when we biked past this weekend, it was completely glassed up save for a few windows on the top couple of floors. Wonder when these are going to hit the market.

Oops, I meant 84th.
This place is directly across Tillary St from the 68th Precinct. There are cops on this block 24 hours a day.
Yeah, Schermerhorn is a hole: http://cobblehillblog.com/archives/2244
downtown has potential but there are a lot of knuckleheads walking around at night just looking to start trouble. The issue I have with it is the very few amount of people on the street. Les people, less witnesses.
My brother lived for years on Franklin Ave in Crown Heights and then on Spencer St in Bed Stuy just to move to Boreum Hill North of Atlantic and he got mugged two weeks after moving there. That Hoyt Schermhorn stop sucks. Never had trouble in CH or the Stuy but he moved to a yuppie brownstone block and got rolled by three thugs at 6 in the morning coming home from work.
Downtown has a lot of potential but they need more foot traffic at night for it to feel more safe IMO.
Homicide stats are the best indicator of overall crime; they are correlated to all other violent crimes and they can not be ‘fudged’. As in
One Precinct’s Robbery is another’s Grand Larceny (or one years felony assault is an other years simple assault)
I never said it was safe. I said I walk it all the time and it’s not a big deal. It’s not the most amazing block in the world, but I’ve certainly walked down far more dangerous blocks than Gold Street.
This has to be a game. You really can’t be THIS stupid, can you?
So if somebody takes 11217’s edvice and goes for a nice stroll down Gold which he says is safe and they are murdered would the victim know the perp.?
“Most homocides are committed by someone whom the victim knows.”
If by ‘knows’ you mean met in a bar, or online…
dave in stats will call that a skew. Its info based on solved crimes which are esier to figure out when the victim knows the perp.
