This is a pastiche of photos I took of a building on Columbus Avenue and 92nd Street where somebody decided to add a few floors under ground. From all appearances, the building is still occupied by its residents, though you have to wonder if it's safe and if the noise of this construction wouldn't drive you to kill yourself anyway. The hole in the foreground used to be a large concrete plaza that nobody ever used. Given the success of the Columbus Square retail development five blocks north, the owner is probably trying to cash in on all the wasted space.
