While some projects like Robert Scarano’s Satori get all the enlightenment attention, there are other buildings going up on Bond Street. This, for instance is 398 Bond, which makes itself quite a presence on the low-rise street. It was briefly hit with a Stop Work Order back in October, but it was quickly back in business by mid-November, per a photo of the documentation by our veteran roving Carroll Gardens/Gowanus correspondent F. Jasmin Adams. She describes the building as “the big, beige shoebox. It seems these fringe neigborhood buildings shoot up under the radar of the browstoners. This building makes me mad.” It has gone up with nary a word of protest from neighborhood activists from whom one would normally expect to hear. Well, here’s the fun part. The architect of what some people might consider a “non-contextual” building is John Hatheway. Mr. Hatheway has been very involved in the fights against the 360 Smith Building and the big Toll Brothers development and we respect his role as a positive activist force in the neighborhood, but we must say that we find it ironic that someone who has been on his side in many of his battles would unknowingly call his building a “big, beige shoebox” and say that it “makes me mad.” Which only goes to prove that even people considered neighborhood activists can, as architects, help building things that upset their allies. There have been ten complaints filed with the Department of Buildings during constructions and four violations issued. Two were dismissed; two are active.
