Walkthrough of Horseshoe Bar

During a recent meeting of the East 185th Street Block Watch, it became clear that not everyone is aware of the dilapidated condition of the Horseshoe Bar (located at 749 East 185th Street). Several potential developers have viewed the space and determined that the building is too far gone to be repaired. They have commented the building has structural issues and mold issues due to a backed up sewer and leaking roof.

Several concerned residents have shared that they are not convinced the building can't be saved. As such, the property owner (in cooperation with the developers proposing a car wash at the site) are hosting a public walkthrough of the building. Anyone interested in seeing the condition of the property is invited to the building on Friday, August 1st between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. Due to the condition of the property, all visitors are required to sign a liability waiver. It may be a good idea to consider bringing your own flashlight and facemask as well.
