'demolition') by the well-known outlaws Guttman and Walentas. As anyone who may live near (or care about) these historical buildings and happen to witness interior walls being torn down thru the morning sunlight and illegal trespassing by workers in the dark hours of night, there is great despair and panic that overcomes the memories of DUMBO being raided every single day without any system protection to maintain the integrity of America's past. Until this happens on your own street and until you are personally affected, please show support for those people who care enough about what is going on and who take their own time to step into the shoes of David vs. Goliath. It ain't easy. It takes great determination and willpower to bring attention to illegal instigations of ‘construction’ (a.k.a. ‘demolition’) by the well-known outlaws Guttman and Walentas.

His trademark for years has been to paint the street level portion of the buildings he owns with red paint. Not sure why - I guess to remember which ones he owns at a glance. Anyway, this building has the mark. No absolute proof, but I think that is a Guttman building.
