Crap in progress

From Brownstoner Queens:

In our personal opinion, it’s often the smaller new buildings that end up looking more out of context than the larger new developments. A case in point is this work-in-progress at 45-34 Pearson Street. Located on the same block as the definitely-not-Scarano development we covered last week, this project (DOB permit here) will squeeze an eight-story, 16-unit building onto a 2,500-square-foot lot between a couple of two-story houses. It’s hard to imagine how the 12,500-square-foot building won’t end up looking absurd. But the property has an FAR of 4.99, which is cat nip to an arbitraging developer.
