Dos Blockos
Dos Blockos was a squat situated on East 9th Street in Manhattan, New York City.〔Pruijt H (2003) ''Is the institutionalization of urban movements inevitable? A comparison of the opportunities for sustained squatting in New York City and Amsterdam'' in International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Vol. 27, nr. 1 (Available online )〕 In active use as a squat from 1992–1999, the six-story building housed as many as 60 people at its peak.〔Moynihan, Colin "NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: LOWER EAST SIDE; We'll Stay, Squatters Insist" in The New York Times April 4, 1999 (Available Online )〕 The building was evicted in 1999 and converted into a commercial apartment building.〔Leland J ''On Avenue C, Renewal and Regret'' in The New York Times August 3, 2000 (Available online )〕 ==History== In 1992 when the building was first occupied by the Dos Blockos squatters, it had been vacant for twelve years and was stripped of wires and pipes. The squatters renovated the derelict building themselves, installing their own plumbing, electrical wiring, and roof.〔Ciezadlo A ''Squatters' Rites: Taking Liberties - A Brief History of New York City's Squats'' in City Limits Magazine (Available online )〕 The venture was funded in part by making the space available at intervals for concerts and short-term commercial ventures, such as its use as a photo shoot location for the 1996 film Trainspotting. One former resident cites the production's $500 a day rental fee as underwriting the cost of putting plumbing in the building.〔Leland J ''On Avenue C, Renewal and Regret'' in The New York Times August 3, 2000 (Available online )〕 Among the building's former residents was the late documentary filmmaker and Indymedia New York City journalist Brad Will.〔Anderson, Lincoln "Downtown anarchist/reporter killed in Mexico." in Downtown Express November 3–9, 2006 (Available Online )〕 Will spoke about the struggles of Lower East Side squatters in "ABC Survives, Fifth Street Buried Alive," a 1997 program produced by Paper Tiger Television: "We were making a home out of a crumbling building (Street Squat ). The interior of the building needed help, and we brought that building back to life. It was standing strong. And the only reason it was standing was because people were living in it. If we had let it go the way the city wanted it to go—they tore out the stairwell, they punched holes in the roof. The water—the rain was rotting that building from the inside out. We replaced the joists. We rebuilt the floors. We sheetrocked the walls and made the building alive. What did they do? They killed it. That building is over a hundred years old. It was standing strong."〔Paper Tiger Television "ABC NO RIO Survives, Fifth Street Buried Alive" Tape# 269, 1997 http://www.papertiger.org/node/273〕
