The office building at 100 Court Ave. is expected to remain off the city’s power grid for another month, according to Bob Carey of Terrus Real Estate, manager of the property. A diesel-powered generator has been supplying electricity to more than a dozen tenants in the six-story building since water filled the basement at the height of the recent flood threat, knocking out electrical equipment.

The water also ruined coolers, freezers and other equipment at Buzzard Billy’s, a restaurant that occupied the basement for most of a decade. The future of that space has yet to be decided. “We’re talking to the owners of the building,” said Andy Massoth, a part owner of Full Court Press, which operates several bars and restaurants in the Court Avenue district. “They would like to have us reopen; but it would take a massive rebuild to get a restaurant going there.”

A group of investors owns the building, which is 90 percent occupied. The basement has been gutted and sanitized, Carey said.

A block west on Court Avenue, Massoth and his business partners were working last week to install tile floors in the basement of their latest endeavor, a wine bar called Sbrocco. It also suffered extensive water damage. As for 100 Court, “we can’t even get flood insurance in that space,” Massoth said. “A little bit of business interruption insurance is all they can give us. We gambled being in that space, and it paid off for nine years.”
