Trends in Advertecture: Chelsea Glassvertecture

With the city cracking down on scaffolding advertecture, what's a property owner to do to reap random advertising revenue from his/her streetfrontage? From the corner of 22nd and Seventh, ta-da: glassvertecture! Reports BlogChelsea, "From time to time you hear rumors about various businesses moving in but it seems to have been used as a store room ever since the coffee shop closed. The landlord also seems to think that he can rent the window space out as a billboard. Is this legal?" Who knows! Double bonus points for pluckiness either way.
· Is 22nd Street Part of Times Square? [BlogChelsea]

UPDATE: As long as we're on the building collapse theme, check out the roofline of the building above, then appreciate this commenter observation: "Unfortunately I live across the street from this mess and have to look at it every day. The roof is sagging and will eventually cave in. I have called the Department of Buildings several times, but apparently it is not at imminent risk of collapse."

There is also "glassvertecture" on 57th and either 6th or 7th, advertising for Lexus. Very annoying overall.

Shouldn't it be "glassvertising"?
