Who Needs McCarren Pool? Manhattan & Skillman Looking Great

ManhattanandSkillman Pool

Who needs McCarren Pool? Our Carroll Gardens correspondent was wandering around Williamsburg & Greenpoint and filed this photo of the festering construction site at Manhattan and Skillman Avenues which seems to hold water nicely. Officially known as 123 Skillman, it’s been an open pit (or a hole with a foundation) for a loooong time, with the current Stop Work Order alone on the development in place for a year. The four-story building that would rise here is…a Robert Scarano project.

    Look just like 340 Bond did before they brought in the cement slabs to cover it up.

    I should have guessed it was Scarano.

    I was in the the area looking at condos on Sunday and noticed this right after seeing a family next door come out with a small child. If the construction company will not fix this, one of the neighbors should. I guess if I buy in the area I can fix it in a couple of months.
