I go past places like that often when in Queens and they are a nightmare.

Ancient, full of wood, bad mods including wiring and some even have common cocklofts.

Buy them out E-D if necessary and tear the fucking firetraps down.

This is the twenty-first century, NOBODY should be living in shit like that.

If you lived in neighborhoods liked that instead of passing through, you wouldn't be sharing that. They were beautiful. There's nothing wrong with wood housing.
