I lived a block south of this building for a short time and always found it strange... the clock's digits are mixed up and the hands never told the right time. Weird.

The ironic thing about the building is that the stores on the ground level are mostly chains, and I highly doubt it's rent-controlled.
Kind of like putting a PETA sticker on the back of your Jaguar with leather seats.
