Calling on the pros

Thanks

You've been there for me before, and it'd mean a lot to me if you could be here for me again. This seems like a basic apartment building, but I don't know the basic words to describe it.

Two semi-detached two-family dwellings with quite a disgusting exterior.

I just love the hard plastic pipe covers.  Really ties up the forgettable shitshow this is.  Hopefully you've bought the property hoping to tear this down.

a cheap-ass vinyl-sided six-unit three-story walk-up, with elements of minimal tradition and unfortunate horseshit. semi-detached dwellings with hard plastic pipe covers.

In its defense, it makes me want to go to work tomorrow.

I may be wrong but it looks to me like there might be a semi-decent MCM building under there but someone tarted it up with siding and pickets to make it more "residential" rather than actually upgrade it properly.

Mid-Capitalism Modern.

Also, judging from the type as well as the walk in the foreground, I'd wager there are six or eight more of these babies nearby.  Plus carports that are just as elegant.

Three-storey multi-family dwelling


Please don’t tear it down and create unnecessary waste. It probably just needs a facelift and a way to hide the ac units.

What if the demolition results in the site being redeveloped at four times the density?
