Beautiful. Aluminum siding. Fire escapes. Window air conditioners. Overflowing trash bins. You need a canopy to make it complete. Landmark potential I say.
About two years ago I was driving in Manhattan and found a parking space in Chelsea in front of a four story walk-up that had a canopy in front of it. As soon as I parked a woman came running out of the building yelling at me for parking illegally. she said that it was a no parking zone and the space was reserved for tenants so they could unload their "stuff" from taxi's and private cars. Huh? I ignored her. When I returned there was a flier glued to my windshield informing me that I was not welcome in the neighbor hood and my car was reported to the local neighborhood watch and precinct. I removed the flier and reported it to the local precinct. As usual nothing happened.
"It's technically an an "awning," Building Code-wise, and not permitted to project that far. The supports require a revocable consent from the DOT. Emma Berenblit's the director of Revocable Consent. Not that she'd grant one for that."
TRY,TRY,TRY ALL YOU WANT! You're still NOT living in Manhattan. You STILL got DUPED into paying 5 times the rent than you should be and sorry to break the news to you- you're still a FAKE Yorker. SUCKERRRRRRRS!

I thought DOT banned these eyesores not too long ago.
Is there a permitting requirement for these? It is a permanently affixed structure, like an awning.
Besides, what's the criticism here? Adding a little texture to otherwise bland rowframe facades is no good?
Looks more like a old time funeral parlor.

I like the cracked step on the stoop !
Google Manor click images, ciafone. Like those stately properties, you are out of your element.
A canopy not a manor make.
Frosting on a turd.
Here we go again with the canopies...Yikes!!
Wow, a "Manor"!! And I just thought it was a shitty old apartment. Who knew?
Prime example money does not by class or taste in this case.
LOL a "Manor"
That canopy is ugly, and the building is ugly, but together they're slightly less ugly.
Does that make Ciafone "Lord of the Manor"?
I'm confused. His face isn't plastered all over the building?!
what kind of permit do you need to put the canopy over the entire sidewalk and plant the poles right by the curb?
^^^ Anonymous, here's how it was explained to me:

So there have you.
Don't pretty much all of these types of canopies/awnings stretch all the way out to the street?
It looks really tacky!
I think it's hilarious!
