Wow, thanks for bringing this data to our attention, Roger. There is a great deal contained in this short article. When I saw the picture, I could feel the adrenaline rush and my blood pressure go up.
What if the corporate developers of Campus Inn are finally brought to justice for the years of massive trash violations?
From the NYT: What is happening on Tulfan Terrace may well play out in other neighborhoods across the city as the recession causes more developers to abandon half-finished buildings because of bankruptcy, foreclosure or tight credit.
But there is an especially bitter back story to the darkened tower at Tulfan Terrace and Oxford Avenue. In 2004, there was a battle to prevent its construction that pitted neighbors who wanted to sell to the developer against neighbors who wanted to stay.
The developers pledged that a 30-unit tower with a private garden, fitness room and three-bedroom apartments selling for $800,000 to $1 million would bring young families to the aging neighborhood. But the opponents imagined disruptive construction, traffic problems and an end to the small-town flavor of their street.
Letters were written, lawyers consulted, feelings hurt. To no avail
