Vacated in 2003. The Housing Authority has plans to demolish the three remaining towers, but that obviously has not happened yet. Take a look around in Street View.

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
What a waste and such a shame. The city has only created it’s own blight. Ridiculous.
Hi Dorinda,
Sad, and true.
My guess is that at some point some highfalutin developer will come in, take over the project, and build yet more obscenely expensive, unaffordable housing.
