29 Units and a Pool...Rotting No More?
Two years ago, I shared the sad story of 2040 Rodney Avenue.
Master architect Edward Fickett designed this Midcentury Modern complex, but for years its 29 empty rent-stabilized units and pool have been falling further and further into disrepair.
2040 Rodney and its neighbor 2028-2030 Rodney sold off the market recently, to two separate buyers.
There are signs of life at 2040 Rodney already: my friends at Esotouric checked on the complex yesterday and discovered a work crew priming the building for new paint.
Since most property buyers won’t bother to paint something they intend to demolish, I’m hopeful that more improvements are on the way…and that new tenants will be able to call this place home soon.
