Shameful…
This makes absolutely 0 sense to me and is sickening. They paid 1.1M for the lot essentially. I tried to buy this 4 unit becaue I thought it was in great shape, had a great size to the units, beautiful facade, HVAC, and it was getting sustainable rent!
It looks to be in great shape too! An ugly 1 or 2 story vinyl siding house I understand, this gorgeous one…greed.
It’s surprising buildings like this aren’t already designated historically significant in one way or another. They could gut and rehab the hell out of this,add roof top deck,so many possibilities,so sad it’ll be replaced with some boring piece of insignificant bland of nothingness … I’m just sayin
Hopefully it’s a partial demolition permit only for some type of renovation.
Why? Just Why??????
