Tom, thanks for your comments. But as I see it, Hoyt Terrace Condos (23rd Street) are in a different world of Astoria from that Old Astoria area. That 21st Street is a real dividing line, both physically and mentally (same goes for Astoria Blvd). From what I can gather from the DOB site, a number of structural problems, some from water, have happened, and I wonder how badly it has damaged the structure.

I understand the POV of both sides, though. I’m more than happy to have opposing viewpoints here, too. Would love to hear from someone who does have notions of saving the property.

Oh, and I’m not sure how clear I was about the location of this building: this Old Astoria building is on 14th Street around the corner from Hoyt and the Park, and kind of across from Shore Towers (Tom, I imagine you know where this building is, this info is for others who might not).

I’m also familiar with this property. Before anyone gets all romantic about “saving” it, it appears to have been subdivided into any number of apartments. And the cars everywhere. This is one big fraternity house. Nothing more. If they hosted keg parties for the locals, I’d be happy. But they don’t. So I’m for tearing it down. The area is changing. A luxury boutique condo would be a major improvement for this property. Just remember the positive things that were said right on this site about another little condo that’s steps away from this address http://www.outerb.com/?p=751
