From NY Magazine:New Yorkers who’ve bought Scarano apartments—particularly those angling to sell—are grappling with his downfall.
One East Williamsburger who has had her ceiling replastered is fatalistic. “Until the leaks are fixed, I can’t worry about selling this place,” she says. (She and others interviewed for this story requested anonymity for fear of scaring off buyers.) Another North Brooklyn owner says the ductwork in her apartment’s HVAC system doesn’t meet code and adds that the six-story building has no wheelchair access. Others single out “sweaty” windows—possibly a sign of poor insulation—and misrouted cables. Attorney Adam Leitman Bailey, who represents disgruntled owners at eight Scarano projects, says some clients had bedrooms that didn’t meet city specifications and therefore were called closets. When your two-bedroom abruptly becomes reclassified as a one-bedroom, the resale value will likely be downsized as well.

To have bought an overpriced apartment in a crappy area such as Williamsburg, ought to be the height of stupidity. You get what you deserve.
I understand Scarano is a POS architect but the leaks and such other problems are the contractors. So these people got it from the crappy architect and builder. That's rough!!!!!
I guess that's what you get when you go for fashion over function!
"Oh look everyone I have a hot apartment now, too bad it leaks on my head but oh well it's still a hot apartment"....
hahahahahahhahaha!
I think everyone should SUE Scarano. There isn't a court in the land that wouldn't see him for what he is. Sue the developers too. They are all a bunch of thieves. Unfortunately, the people who bought these eyesores are left holding the bag. Sue them and hit them where it hurts -- In their pockets!
Is east williamsburg the same as west greenpoint?
