Patterson Apartment Building is coming down.

COA has been pulled.

342 West 10th Street.

Does not need to go before HPC because it is on the freakin' formal track.

Some of us may not be familiar with Patterson Apartment Building. ~~Where is it located,~~ and what does it look like?

I'll post a picture as soon as I can. It is yellowish brick on West 10th Street and it has "Patterson Apts" engraved on the header.

Oh man, that's so beautiful. What a waste that it is being torn down.

What does it take to do an emergency halt and request an extension?

Ok, so do we need to do? Do we have access to the engineer's report that says it cannot be saved? What is the reason for the demolition?

I'm not an engineer and I've seen examples of some seriously bad looking buildings that were saved. But this building from the other side looks substantially worse. Giant roof damage so it would take some effort to properly board and secure this one. Which I would still bet is cheaper than a demolition.

If the damage is so intensive, it would be nice if someone could get the blueprints of this house, and buy the lot cheaper on the ground, and then rebuild to its former glory based on the blueprints.

I would think to REPLICATE the house in the exact same construction as it currently is , VS saving it by mothballing /selling/rehabbing it would cost as much , if not more than fixing the purchase of / fixing the problems.
