Brownstone East Village Off to Smashing Start
Tuesday, August 21, 2007, by Joey

After many a moon, the Brownstone East Village has finally lost the scaffolding, revealing the automatic-garage-door-wall-thingy that will soon open up fabulous 14th Street to this former Development du Jour's inhabitants. But lo! An ugly truth has also been revealed. One of the windows is already cracked to hell, no doubt the result of some stoning from a jealous non-automatic-garage-door-wall-thingy-haver. For shame! Oh, and the remaining penthouse triplex has been pricechopped again, this time down from $2.25 million to $1.995 million. Rooftop cabanas ain't what they used to be, we guess.

Could be a stress crack from the opening and closing of the window wall (versus a rock or other vandalism)?
Totally looks like a stress fracture.
If someone threw something at the glass, wouldn't the cracks look like a spiderweb?
whats next? a retractable celing to let the rain in? lol
you know that the wall will leak and make it cold and drafty in thier in the winter! hahahaha
how utterly useless and poorly done at that
Also, it could be they tried to open the door while that scaffolding inside was still there, and hit the scaffolding.
I wonder if that tree used in the illustration is really there.
The trees are there - they are surprisingly beautiful from the higher floors. The apartments, however, suck. Badly. They are narrow railroad style units with very tight hallways and very generic construction. But you get stainless steel applainces! And a novelty retractable wall that breaks! I went to the open house back in May and was appalled that someone would peddle this garbage for $2M+.
this building is so fucking awful and kitchy.
