About The Gut ....
The federal government didn't have much good to be said about the D4/D5 redlined neighborhood known as the "The Gut" of Albany in 1930s.
This area deserves to be classified as a slum neighborhood. Many former two family houses are now used for three families by use of the basement as a separate unit.
Favorable Influences: All city facilities and adjacence to center of city and industry.
Detrimental Influences: Age and obsolescence. Close to railroad and Hudson River- cellars are flooded with high water. Green Street is known as the "Red Light" district."
