Burg’s Giant Fart Cloud Bldg Topped Off: Will It Fall Over?

We’ve followed the Giant Fart Cloud Building in Williamsburg every step of the way. It earned that name because it occupies the site of a former cabbage processing factory. Well, the Fart Cloud Buiding has been topped off and Phase II is underway and we’ll be damned if it really doesn’t look like it’s going to fall over. There is even a gap between the fifth and sixth floors. Thank God, these things are going to be rentals because we pity the poor soul who’d actually invest in this buiding.

    Looks like it’s made out of freaking cardboard.

    does anybody have a rendering of what it’s supposed to look like when done?

    That’s the insulation, not support material. And, so, it’s OK for a renter to be in an unsafe building as oposed to a person who buys???
