This is 170 Smith Street. It is only remarkable if one recalls the sad recent history of the building, which had fallen into such disrepair (no doubt exacerbated by being on top of the subway tunnel carrying the F Train) that its facade started to crumble in March. When we passed by the building the other day, we noticed that signficant progress had been made on fixing the facade. There is a “for rent” sign up for the storefront at street level, but if you look at the window on the top floor, the roof of the building still has gaping holes.
