Note the vents on the side wall just below the roof. The presence of these vents is a clue that the building in NONFIREPROOF, most likely Class 3 Brick and Joist and NOT a Fireproof Class 1 or Fire-resistant Class 2 Mutiple Dwelling. I know this neighborhood very well I was brought up nearby and Buffed in E-255 & L_157 as a teenager. Good positioning by L-174, placing the rig at an angle to the curb & TL-157 allows the aerial to reach more areas = increasing the "Scrub Area" of the tip of the aerial. Also, L-174 is placed on the corner = "Apex" allowing the aerial to reach the front and some areas on the "4" = "D" side of the fire building. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

These bldgs at 2427 Foster & New York now called "Flatbush Gardens" were formerly the "Vandeveer Estates" or just "Vandeveer".....I responded to & operated at numerous Fires with R*2 in that complex as it became totally burned out in the early to mid 1980s before it was rehabbed.
