If so, you can make 373 Graham Avenue (as seen above) all yours. Really. I am not kidding.
New York Shitty Analysis
- Glass Half Full: To the agent’s credit, he does disclose this building’s lack of Certificate of Occupancy.
- Glass Half Empty: However, he fails to note the present owner has a restraining order (which he has seen fit to violate) as a result of chasing someone with a chainsaw. It has been my observation most people find this kind of thing to be a “deal breaker”.
My advice: Unless you have the dubious honor of being “Joe’s” neighbor (in which case you should start a Kickstarter campaign— STAT) take your business to 419 Graham Avenue instead…
Credits/Props: Special thanks go out to Sarah and Devery for bringing these items to my attention.
The Word On The Street, Part II: For The Love Of Big Brother (& Tomatoes)
Filed under: 11222, Criminal Activity, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Yours truly encountered the above missive today at the intersection of Herbert and Humboldt Street. Exactly what would make these tomatoes especially desirable is beyond me. Perhaps the emissions from the off-ramp of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway impart to them some special flavor? I suppose only the thief knows for certain. In any case, methinks I’ll take the old fashioned route and acquire my produce at the grocery store. It is pretty clear this person means business.

I would like to take a moment to thank the folks at the New York City Parks Department for addressing the refuse problem at the Manhattan Avenue Kayak Launch. Keep it up!

Greenpoint Photo Du Jour: 239 Banker Street, Revisited Once More
Curious to see the latest Stop Work Order issued to this property today I decided a trip to this, Greenpoint’s most (in)famous address, was in order. Not surprisingly, there was nary one to be found.
As you can imagine I found this quite fascinating. Thus, on a lark, I decided to see what gives on the Department of Buildings Information System.
It would appear that this property not only still has a standing Stop Work Order on it…
but they have wasted little time violating it!
To be continued, no doubt…
P.S.: Here’s a yet-to-be-investigated complaint yours truly found rather amusing.
Word of advice to “Zoey”: If/when advertising an illegal residential space in an Industrial Business Zone, it maybe advisable to refrain posting a photo of the building in question which clearly features a sign in the foreground that reads “Industrial Business Zone”.
