Creedmor situation kind of peculiar

"I have attached three pictures of beautiful housing, built by the state on the grounds of Creedmor, for the disabled. Three of the buildings have never been used. They contain brand new furniture.
Right now, only three buildings are occupied and the residents are being farmed out.
In less than 5 years the state built residences that are not being used. This is wasteful and very stressful for the residents and the wonderful people that care for them."

Sure some well connected person got the contract from the capital budget.

I love how all those people involved in 'participatory budget' process would feel if they knew they were complicit dupes in the pork barrel.

Disabled use 3 floors ?
I don't see any elevator motor room vaults on those roofs, these are APARTMENTS !! Look at all the kitchen and bathroom vent pips.
Somebody's pulling a fast one

I see horribly crazy homeless people every day. Can't they be moved into places like this?

maybe someone can tell me where they all come from- my sense is that they come from outside NYC.

Anon #2, fyi, elevators can be piston driven from the basement. no rooftop mechanical room needed. often used in 3 story bldgs.

It is amazing that the entire Creedmor complex has lasted "untouched" as long as it has. It is now ripe for the picking. Located in the middle of (still) lovely single family neighborhoods in far eastern Queens (Bellerose, Glen Oaks), it has got to be on the state and City's radar for homeless and high-density development.

The Crazy homeless people all came from Creedmor to begin with. The sad part of the story is that multiple buildings on Creedmor's grounds were demolished to build these structures and the schools that are there. All because the original buildings were intentionally neglected by the State.

>beautiful housing
>aluminum siding

Those two are mutually exclusive.

Its already on the radar for high density development. The surrounding neighborhoods will soon be screwed.
