Kingston Neighborhood Watch is hoping that #10 Linderman Avenue, currently for sale at the bargain-basement price of $59,000, won't be bought by another absentee landlord.
#10 Linderman is taking a break from being am illegally four family apartment that terrorized the neighbors for many years. Currently it is condemned after being a drug house and having someone OD in it.
An interested buyer, identified only as "Mr. Singh," is apparently interested in getting a variance from City Hall to rent it out legally as four one-bedroom apartments. The Neighborhood Watch poster doesn't think much of that idea--and wishes the rest of the world saw Kingston like she does:
I would love to see that house brought back. It's such a shame that we could even think to let such a jewel go to ruin. Kingston both amazes and saddens me with its beauty and decayed charm. I see this city as it could be; Painted Ladies on the Hudson, the San Francisco of the East. We have some of the most beautiful architecture here in this city. There are amazing examples of so many kinds of American architecture throughout the ages. When are we going to take a stand and not let someone else profit and motives steal away both our future and out past?
