From The New York Shitty Inbox: Sold!
Yours truly as received word from a very reliable (and anonymous) source that 836 Manhattan Avenue (as seen above) has been sold to developers for $4.2 million dollars. Take that to the bank!

It may not feel like it, but 57 Franklin Street is certainly looking like it!
Thought Of The Day
If you are going to, say, conceal an offending piece of graffiti and hose-down the exterior of your building it might be advisable to do the latter first. At least if the paint in question happens to be water-based.
Whoops.
P.S.: If the owners of 239 Banker Street cannot see fit to complete a task as simple as this successfully, one can only imagine what the quality of the construction inside must be like.

Greenpoint Photos du Jour: Live From 239 Banker Street!
After sharing the good news about some unhappy citizen scrawling commentary about 239 Banker Street on 239 Banker Street (as seen again above) at 9:52 this morning I decided to swing by and see the Greenpoint glory for myself. But alas as of 11:30 a.m. it was gone!
Looks like Meserole Factory LLC Googled 239 Banker.
In any case, they were thoughtful enough to station a worker whose sole purpose was to make sure the residents of this building used the second entrance. It brings a tear to my eye to see the owners of this property demonstrate such concern for the safety of their tenants!
UPDATE, 2:30 p.m
Note to self: when endeavoring to conceal an offending piece of graffiti with water-based paint and hosing-down the exterior of your building (presumably with water), it might be advisable to do the latter first. Whoops.

Coming to 239 Banker Street: The Loft Law?
That’s right folks! It would appear this month someone has filed for protection under the Loft Law! Given the amended law states three or more families must have lived independently from one another for 12 consecutive months from 1/1/08 through 12/21/09— and 239 Banker Street (which started showing signs of habitation May 31, 2009) was vacated by the Department of Buildings on September 24, 2009:
Do the math.
