This was an empty lot used primarily for parking cars. Now it's a development site.
55-35 Metropolitan Avenue is ugly as hell, Fedders and all, but its saving grace is that it is only dumping
2 more units into the mix instead of 8 or 10.
Why match the existing rowhouses on either side when you can just dump a big steaming pile in the middle and make your development stick out like a sore thumb?
Block the air and light of the tenants to the east and make sure the people living to the west are greeted by a giant wall as they exit their homes.
And why would this development qualify for an after hours variance permit? It's a standard development project.
And why do they need pile drivers?
Naturally,
NY Yimby is cheering this on. (Their commenters aren't, however.)
