Discussion about 337 46th Street
Renovations never approved by DOB. No updated CO.
Wow we didnt know the reno work done was not approved. Why are they even trying to sell it? Is that legal? No buyer is gonna get a mortgage on that.
We went to an open house and while it's pretty on the surface you can see that there are some quality issues. The floors are cheap, don't match and are uneven in some spots. Squeaky too.
The entire house it titled and not level. There's actually one room where the floor and baseboard are separating from each other. I wouldn't like to see anything crawl out of that space.
The kitchen is old, never updated. The seller claimed it was a homage to 50s kitsch. That's a new one LOL. Appliances are beyond old and the "island" is ready to fall.
Perhaps most annoying of all is the fact that the Gowanus Expressway can be heard from every room.
It simply ruins the backyward which is already an overgrown mess and unusable as it is. We couldn't imagine sitting out there in the heat of the summer watching the cars speed by while emmitting that lovely aroma of diesel. No privacy in the yard either. (one of the neighbors has a junkyard vibe going on. Seriously, we saw a rat)
It would be a steal at $500K. Anything more for that area and those defects is not worth it. No restaurants, takeout, or any anmenities of any kinds. Seriously, there's not even a decent coffee shop.
It's been on the market for almost a year already and if there's no updated CO, which the seller never mentioned, I can't see it moving anytime soon.
