The wall around the lot at Suffolk and East Houston Street, soggy from the rain, peeled open at a corner revealing what’s behind. Buttresses appear to be holding up the adjacent empty building.

The tops of these cranes, being taller than most of the buildings in this part of the East Village, are visible from many viewpoints.
The wall was declared unsafe about a month ago, students have been relocated to other schools. The whole wall is being replaced.

Adjusting the net that keeps crap from falling on the heads of pedestrians. I’m not sure at what state this construction is. All I know is that they keep making tremendous noise grinding away whatever some other crew build a couple of years ago.
