This was a truly awful condo conversion. Probably the worst one I had seen in five years of real estate in Asbury Park.
Nine units in this building were way too many to begin with. The original structure was probably a single family home which became a hotel/boarding house which became slum commercial apartment building which became a "condo". There are many such buildings in Asbury Park which are likely to be "condo'ed" in just the same way. It is the state, not the city, where condo plans are filed and approved. How did this plan get approved? How did these units get CO's from the city? There are a lot of questions that need answering. There are a lot of changes that need to be made to the condo conversion process. This should never have happened. There is a condo building on the west side of the Arlington Condominiums. These were identical buildings at one time. The Arlington was a beautiful conversion. Wonderful layouts, safe, and well built. The one to the west of it in a bonfire waiting to happen. God forbid it does burn, the residents there are not likely to be as lucky. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, "rkgsx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?
