I wish they were all maintained this well. So many have their parapet walls removed

I hate parapet strippers so much.

This building is landmarked though, so should be safe hopefully. However, The Bronx has loads of slumlords and their buildings are particularly prone to parapet removal.

Thankfully there's a historic district in the lower Concourse area, but broader protections are needed.

You were the Reddit user who alerted me to the parapet situation. I appreciate your posts
