Brooklyn Crack: Major Problem on Union Avenue in Burg

January 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments

361 Union Avenue Crack

It would appear that 355 Union Avenue, which is next to 365 Union, a building going up in the booming Union Corridor, ended up as collateral damage. This photo was filed by our intrepid Greenpoint Correspondent, who ranges far and wide. The building that caused the problem comes from the studios of Robert Scarano and will be a six-story building with 7 units. The development has attracted nine complaints to the Department of Buildings, one of which was that construction “is damaging the front wall at 355 Union Avenue.” That led to a Stop Work Order back in September.

    this building is the flimsiest piece of crap I’ve ever seen. It appears to have walls made of a single sheet of durock. The walls were being braced for a time by those metal crossbeams that eventually became the floors. I keep waiting for it to blow over.
