Besides for a couple of minor cosmetic repairs that have absolutely no bearing on the structural integrity of the building, this property is going to become a great asset to the city, and the residents of the east side.
I was once accused by Madame Building Inspector as the guy that was causing all kinds of problems by taking pictures and posting them on the internet. I explained that it wasn’t me, but a friend of mine, Henrey Hawk.
Being the GOOD, WELL BEHAVED RESIDENT THAT I AM, and not wanting to alarm anyone of any problems, I have decided to take my own pictures today, and make lemonade out of lemons.
One of the finer qualities of this property is what appears to be a basement under at least two thirds of the property. Wanting to maximize the square footage with the smallest physical footprint is usually a great idea. I don’t know how deep the basement is, but if for some reason the Black River would ever flood Harborwalk, how much water does anyone think this basement would hold? I was thinking this MIGHT be a good place to put one of those alligator farms. Alligators ear mosquitoes anyways, don’t they?
I hear this building has a special mosquito repellent sprayed on the building to chase the mosquitoes away. I can tell the repellent really works because I was only bitten six times while I took these pictures.
The quality of the plywood that boards up the windows does a beautiful job of hiding the minor flaw of the sidewalk to the front door falling into the basement, that again, is a great asset to this property.
The minor cracks in the exterior walls that reach from the sidewalk all the way to the roof line are completely irrelevant, just like huge puddles of oil underneath a brand new car. Believe me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this building.
I was so impressed with this property, that I informed the mayors office about how special I thought this property was, and the administration must agree. When I checked the public records on this property I noticed that there are no pending cases against the owner in over a year that the city has been made aware it’s absolutely fine and outstanding condition.
This is really a SPECIAL BUILDING, as it can boast that it can stand up with the finest of new homes built on the cities East Side!
The best part about the property is the HUGE SKYLIGHT!
I am so glad the city has done such a great job cleaning up my side of twon. Hate to be the guy that rubs these folks the wrong way!
