dont know about the garbage transfer station,
but this building got hit very hard by Hurricane Sandy.

the building is in Zone A of areas that will flood, same as lower Manhattan and the Rockaways.
its bound to reduce apt. values as they repair in the months ahead and have to prepare for damage to occur again in the years ahead.

yes. the transfer station will be right across the fdr. it will be closed to this building..

In fact, this building is not in a Zone A... according to maps, it is in Zone B.

you may be correct, it is not in zone A;
however, according to this map, it is right across the street from Zone A.
as close as you can get, without being officially in Zone A.

They've bricked up the windows at ground level to reduce the problems in the future.

I have recently financed a unit in this building, and have it approved for great rates and cheap closing costs. Call or email me to find out more.
