420 42nd St-10 story monster in Sunset Park, Bklyn, NY

Moving South from our war-zone area, we come upon Sunset Park, Brooklyn. And darn if the developers don't just scoot away from you to start another ruckus of potentially illegal work. In a nut shell: 10 story building on a 3 story block. No work permits posted. Pile driving at 4 a.m. (not shown here) and the questionable (illegal?) excavation caught on tape. More to follow, I'm sure...especially with the view from Sunset Park at stake. For more photos: http://www.ccgreenwoodhts.com/bklyngallery/main.php?g2_itemId=232

Thanks for all the comments. The building had been cut in half! Now, take all this good energy and help the folks in SSP with their rezoning efforts!

@mindyuhneck1986 DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!! Don't just lay there and die !!.

I had lived there almost my whole life . It is a shame that the transplant are calling the shots, and carving up the neighborhood so to suit their own selfish needs. That WAS a public park that was open to the community and now it will become a exclusive piece of real estate for those greedy transplant. God , how I do hate them.

You know as much as i hate to say the brooklyn we all loved and knew is gone ,replaced by hipster fucks,and corporations willing to put a mcdonald footlocker and generic stores on every corner ,i grew up in this neighborhood when it was a great,now everyone wants to make a buck and destroy the uniqueness of it all,who the fuck can afford 1200 rents not workin class people thats for sure.i gave up long ago trying to HOPE for originality and good people,look what i got instead,...
