ReplyDeletecome on. we can save this building - or at least the facade - It will cost a few extra dollars then just demolishing it - but Harlem is that much better for all the facades that were saved over the bad years.. Clearly this one can be saved. Where are our elected officials?
The facade should be saved, it is so short sighted not to retain this continuity on the block!
ReplyDeleteWhile I am not a knee-jerk preservationist, I do hope that the facade of this building can be saved. The continuity of this block is rare and lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons this is allowed to happen is because the city will ignore crumbling drug infested buildings for years while ticketing the next door neighbor for litter on the sidewalk. The city needs to make the owners of these abandoned buildings accountable.
ReplyDeleteAgreed with all above, the city should step in and save this facade, where are our elected officials, where the dickens is Inez?
