Looks like the NYSDOT is all finished now. Haven’t seen it since November I believe. Its a bit of a dissapointment. The side facing the ballpark is window-free at the request of NYSDOT but the Thruway side looks pretty nice for what it is. Capped it off with the NYSDOT logo which adds a little to it. No big deal obviously, but the occasional signage on a downtown building is greatly appreciated

    I keep forgetting to look to see if they finally removed the broken time and temperature sign that was visable from Dunn Tire Park. I too am glad to see some signage on the buildings. Seems strange that there aren’t more.

    its still there but most of it is removed. What remains suggest that it could be up and running again, but I doubt it.

    I think its a bit strange that they would renovate 3 sides of the building and leave arguably the most important side unrenovated with the remnants of the temperature/time digital display. Hopefully finishing the fourth side will happen this spring. Personally I think they did a terrific job on that building compared to the windowless concrete box it used to be, but the NYSDOT logo is terrible…it gives me flashbacks to the old Marine Midland logo for some reason.

    Predatory Realtors in Buffalo

    Polis Realty Group is one of the biggest realtors in western New York. Yet according to T. Brisport, Director of Operations for Independent Sharing, Inc. “Polis does not seem to care about the people or the community of East Buffalo.”

    Polis orchestrated a deal to sell property belonging to Ms. Bridges, a long-time Buffalo resident. Days before closing, Ms. Bridges attorney was forced to contact the buyer seeking relief. The contract had been negotiated by Polis, so that they would obtain 50% of the sale in realty fees. Ms. Bridges unable to sell is now in foreclosure procedures.

    When confronted, CFO Mark Pagano, responded they have reviewed their documents and found no fault. Besides the very unusual standard of demanding 50% of sale, Polis finds itself in deals where it fails to verify ownership of property it is representing. “The unfortunate thing is this attitude results in homes left vacant and the people of Buffalo suffers,” Brisport says.

    Buffalo is undergoing a period of transition but if you ask most east-side residents they would not know it. This is because the landscape is still dotted with vacant homes and lots. Some argue this is partly because of predatory realtors who seem to have no interest in the community.

    Independent Sharing, Inc. is one organization that has been trying to reverse that trend. Brisport says, “we believe community revitalization must begin with home revitalization. “We support the Mayor’s plan to ensure decent affordable housing for all residents in safe and secure neighborhoods.”
