When you
^zoom in
^ and face them directly, you see that
they are 3 separate buildings that are touching each other:
Building #1=> Balconies on either side are painted dark red; middle face painted yellowish-white.
Building #2=> Balcony "cement blocks" on either side are painted white and in somewhat disrepair; middle face painted beige.
Building #3=> Gray vertical lines. (Maybe the newest of the three...?)
There was an attempt to make them look like one building with one sidewalk that appears to have a continuous ground floor of doors and windows.
But you see that the floors of apartments in the 3 buildings, even at the lower levels, are misaligned. As you scroll upwards toward the roofs, you see that the apt. floors become increasingly misaligned.
The cement, mortar, and whatever else keeps
Buildings #1 &
#2 together is jagged & uneven; a renovation to keep the two buildings solidly together will be required some time in the foreseeable future.
The way
Buildings #2 &
#3 are kept together is just a bit scary. It looks like whatever the builders initially used to hook 'em together did not work out completely; did they have to reinforce the connection with another vertical gray slab? (If so, was it made with premium-grade steel?)
If anybody disagrees with or wishes to clarify what I wrote, feel free to do so; it's become obvious to me that I need a new pair of reading glasses.
