We had a meeting on Friday with the Department of Buildings. We were told that they would begin demolition on the building in 3 weeks from now, if we do not submit plans by an architect/engineer to bring the building to code. The city would do the work and then place a lean on the property. To have the city do the work would zero out the value of the property and leave my parents with nothing. We understand that the Department of Buildings is in a difficult situation, as there are some safety concerns with the building. We are attempting to comply with the Department of Buildings, and would like to submit plans as soon as we can get an architect/ engineer on board. If any qualified individuals are willing to work with us in this short time frame we would very much appreciate it. I can be contacted at chriswood718@yahoo.com.

Sadly today at 1pm Broken Angel caught fire by natural causes. No one was hurt minimal damage was done. Many thanks to the FDNY for quicky putting out the fire. Any contributions are welcome addressed to Arthur Wood, 4 Downing St, Brooklyn NY 11238, to help us rebuild. Thank you Brooklyn for all of your support. photo of the fire at http://www.flickr.com/photos/onebadapple/sets/

I have lived in Clinton Hill for years and would love to actually visit their home. It has always inspired me.

Hmm, Miguel's mad crone Nutrament was all over this during, like, the Federal Era. Is true.
