Huge pieces of plaster have fallen from the rehabbed frontage of the County DSS Building on Broadway. The entire fronts is a mess with the brick interior now exposed to the street. This was another great Metrograft production which was going to lead to "revitalization" in Bellevue. The promised bus cut outs never materialized so traffic is now backing up Broadway whenever a CDTA bus stops. Bellevue has become another dumping grounds with DSS, a pit bull accessory store and dozens of abandoned business storefronts.

It's a historical landmark now, isn't it?

Obviously showcasing the great Schenectady NY, crumbling everywhere.

Does Schenectady even have a city engineer?
I took a look at DSS, and it's obvious that the job wasn't done correctly in the first place.
There is no anchoring for the stucco. It's not paint, or even texture paint you morons, at least attach some mesh, or at least some chicken wire first!

It's as if they thought that just slapping some mud over the brick would last or something.
I seem to recall some controversy that was building was leased for something like $14mil, rather than owned outright by the city.

If that's so, why isn't the landlord fixing it?
It looks like hell.

Do I remember hearing or reading that the school district was not going to use the old St Adelbert's school building?   Or maybe it was just a proposal to stop using it in connection with the budget stuff.

Since the DSS building is obviously having problems, I'm sure the renaissance would be best served if DV proposes using the old St Adalbert's chool as the DSS location, yes?   Maybe get those people doing a little walking (up a hill from the bus stop) instead of having the luxury of taxpayer subsidized transportation right to the door to collect their welfare money.

Wasn't the building on Nott St a former school?   So, no difference, right?

Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

The stucco goes up, and the building comes down

Maybe they're waiting for a "facade grant" to rehab the appearance of it.

Another Death Ray special! No need to investigate yet another DEM ripoff of taxpayer funds. After we look at DEM lob hiring. "There is nothing unusual here"-lol. Every County does this? Another only in Schenectady County! Too small for a County-too big for an insane asylum.

It's quite a racket they have going here!!! First they bring in the 'undesirables' who seek better welfare benefits to feed their drug addiction and procreation addiction. Then once the old dss building becomes filled to the brim with these 'undesirable'...they move it as far away, from the city that once lured them in, as they can. A 'hand picked' developer gets to purchase the building on broadway for 'how much'? And then leases to the city for 'how much'?

And now the building that is home to the 'undesirables' is falling apart and looks like sh!t.....they turn a blind eye.

And why? Cause they all lined their pockets, continue to make their millions and don't give a sh!t anymore!

YUP.....it is quite a racket they have going on!

WHERE'S THE FBI WHEN YA NEED 'EM!!!

Guess the Schenectady County is the only place where a crumbling facade eyesore will be rented out for $16 million taxpayer dollars.

That's class!

Just WAIT until some DSS regular has a falling plaster chunk fall on them. That's one lawsuit you can just see coming.....
