Just like the buildings that were across the street on seventh Avenue that the city owned, they let them rot to the point where they had to be destroyed.

It’s some type of mystery going on where rent stabilized buildings mysteriously goes up in flame and what caused is “food on stove”. Its about time for someone to investigate what this redevelopment mystery is all about.
