A Favorite on Clinton

This has always been one of my favorite buildings in the neighborhood.  I always imagined it would be romantic to live in one of the turret apartments.  In my early days in the neighborhood I'd walk past almost every day (when I falsely assumed that the C was better than the G).  Now I'm almost never down that way (I lazily wait for the G at Hoyt-Schermerhorn).

There seems to be a perennial "for rent" sign in the window. Can they really not fill this gorgeous place?
