More unsightly scaffolding eyesores from 225 Rector

August 11, 2011

Residents of Battery Park have had to endure the unsightly scaffolding around the bankrupt 225 Rector Park apartment building for years as the owners went bankrupt and ownership transferred to the Related Companies. Now, the new owners are setting up, once again, scaffolding around three sides of the building, creating a blight to the community.

Related Companies told BatteryPark.TV that the purpose of the scaffolding was for protection related to “window replacements” to begin once the scaffolding is built. The work is expected to last for “four to five months”.
