The two buildings on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint in the photo above do not appear to be leaning because of barreling or other lens distortion. They are actually leaning somewhat and would appear to have been in such condition for some time. The lot with the pretty purple fence in between is 602 Manhattan Avenue, which is destined to be the site of a four-story building with seven apartments. In the case, if the neighboring buildings survive the construction of the new building, they might actually be propped up by it. In any case, there’s a Stop Work Order on the new project because DOB says there were no plans on the site for the shoring work, which is clearly quite intricate, if not artistic.
