Newsday's real estate reporter explores some new urban parasites: "Homes have sprouted up on the rooftops of drab Manhattan buildings; homes such as solid Dutch Colonials and capes, sleek chalets, modern Decos, and even log cabins. Some stand out, while others blend in architecturally with the buildings at their base." It's all in the loopholes: "Owners of rooftop rights can expand if the building is underbuilt, meaning its zoning allows more floor area than it currently occupies. All it takes is a building permit." And loads of cash: Newsday.
