205 Parkside Fined For Damaged Facade

205-hawthorne Moses Fried, noted slumlord of 205 Parkside Avenue, is in the news again…. and no, I'm not talking about the recent shutdown on one of his illegal hourly "hotels."

An anonymous neighbor, a local hero of sorts, complained to the Department of Buildings about 205's cracked facade and the DOB issued a stop work order. Fried responded by installing scaffolding along Parkside Court and the complaint is now resolved. But hopefully neighbors will stay on the case.

Thats a relief. I was afraid the scaffolding meant that Fried was about to restart the expansion of his whore house empire.

I saw the scaffolding and I was so hopeful that it meant that real work was going to be done to improve it. So now it's just going to be scaffolding there until he's forced to do anything again?

I just hope they preserve that really nice old sign painters advertisement that says, "Designer" on the side of the building.
