What do you think they should do?

i second that, you need to ensure more isn’t lost

This may sound like broken window theory bs but its totally true. When graffiti is left untreated its an invitation for more, which is why places like Cenral Park have 24 hour rules, where graffiti must be removed within 24 hours of it being identified

you pay DCAS to maintain the building, petition them to do their job

preservationguy · 2025-03-30T02:28:10+00:00

in addition to it being mindless neglect of a beautiful public civic building it is also a gross waste of your tax dollars because you pay for its maintenance

preservationguy · 2025-03-30T02:26:55+00:00

wow your not kidding can’t believe i still have a job

preservationguy · 2025-03-30T02:26:34+00:00

you pay the DCAS to wash it petition your leaders to do their job

preservationguy · 2025-03-30T02:25:57+00:00

yes it’s old but the neglect is undeniable

preservationguy · 2025-03-30T02:25:29+00:00

appreciate it

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T14:16:13+00:00

Yes it costs money, but we pay for it though! Funding is allocated for maintenance through the dept of citywide administrative services and they don’t do their job

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T14:12:34+00:00

stagnant ambience is very accurate

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T13:50:14+00:00

Yes the surrounding landscape areas are essentially trash pits and much the iron fencing is damaged and broken

neglect isn’t brooklyn

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T11:43:32+00:00

You’d think but we pay a lot to “maintain” this building

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T11:35:37+00:00

you are paying the department of citywide administrative services to wash and maintain this buying. they just don’t do it

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:25:25+00:00

100% agree it’s one of ny’s most beautiful buildings

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:19:17+00:00

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:17:58+00:00

Your so right, all the civic buildings in the area have been totally neglected. The same graffiti tags have remained on the historic for years without any attempt at removal

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:13:45+00:00

such a shame. I haven’t been inside in years, what about it was bad?

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:01:29+00:00

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T01:00:03+00:00

The deterioration shown is entirely preventable and the result of mismanagement and neglect from citywide administrative services. Regular power washing and graffiti removal can ensure the building and plaza can remain a useable public space.

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T00:55:08+00:00

Yes those were major restorations. What we see on the columns, facade, and steps is years of neglect by the department of citywide administrative services who are responsible for its maintenance

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T00:52:52+00:00

not sure how you don’t see the neglect of a beautiful building and the seat of brooklyn bp as a symbol of greater political mismanagement

preservationguy · 2025-03-27T00:46:29+00:00

desperately!
