Belltown Condo Has Balconies Repossessed

(h/t to Belltownpeople)

The slogan for Belltown's Moda condominiums is "Fashionable living. With money left for life." There is not, apparently, money left to pay the subcontractors who installed the balconies.

Last Friday, Hideous Belltown was tipped off by a passer-by that men on a ladder were partially removing balconies from Moda. He inquired what they were up to, and they said they were owed $20,000 and were taking the balconies back.

Hideous Belltown's Keller took a walk by this week and it was true--the railings were gone from a number of balconies. The word is, the units of each are occupied, so there's a chance here for a particularly brave resident to--if he or she survives--to file a spectacular personal injury lawsuit.

Moda, unsurprisingly, did not return Hideous Belltown's call for comment.

balcony
the units with the removed railings are now uninhabitable and should be 'padlocked' by local code enforcement
