90 First Place Finally Revealed..Complete With Crooked Windows

oo

90 First Place








It sure took a very long time for this brownstone condo conversion to be completed. For almost two years, the building at 90 First Place was hidden behind a high plywood fence, accumulating complaints and violations from the Department of Buildings. In the summer of 2007, during construction, the building's roof partially collapsed.

Recently, Halstead Realty has started offering the apartments. They are priced from $925,000.00 to $1,100,000.00. An open house will be held this Saturday, April 25th from 1-3 PM.

I am not quite sure about the inside of this building, but judging from the outside, I am not too impressed. A quick look at the façade reveals that someone didn't bother to use a level while installing the new windows. They are noticeably crooked.

Oh well, who needs perfection anyway....




Cheesy little lights on either side of the entrance,

with a 'perfectly' placed bright red fire alarm bell


They might be Anderson's, but....
this window is crooked.
Frames not quite leveled within the façade opening.




2nd Floor Window Just As Crooked

Ha ha - maybe they installed them that way intentionally - to compliment the artist's rendering of the facade!
