Over the course of many years the owner failed to maintain it. It was in danger of collapse so it was removed. Buildings don't last forever. Progress marches on.

More like the owner purposely neglected it so they can get around Landmark and demolish it. The same happened to the oldest house on Chelsea.

From what I remember it was once owned by an old lady who neglected it for decades. There was a deadly fire in the 90's in a basement apartment that the building never recovered from.
