Spotted construction activity at 600 St. Marks recently. Seems like balconies are going up. A little bit of digging around with our shovel called Google revealed that the previous owners had apparently been caught up with a mortgage fraud scandal involving the building. Then, it was burned down by an arsonist during a slew of arsons in 2006.
Hopefully this building will see a lot less controversy in its new life. Welcome back.

ostrand Park serves as a virtual town square for Crown Heights, and to offset the dearth of available resources, Crown Heights is a complex neighborhood. It is a neighborhood of mansions, projects and historic districts. Crown Heights is so much fuller than what is currently available in the media and we wanted to create a space to honor that. Thus, Nostrand Park was born.
Nostrand Park is a program of the Fund for the City of New York.
