However, last week I noticed a some wood nailed to a spot on the platform. I assumed it was a developing crack that would be addressed soon. It hasn&#8217;t been yet, but that&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m writing this post.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, a few feet past the wooden band-aid, I saw a small hole in the platform that you can see straight through down to the street.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_3158h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-273\" title=\"dsc_3158h\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_3158h.jpg\" alt=\"dsc_3158h\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_3158h.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.railfanwindow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dsc_3158h-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It appears that the hole formed within one of the &#8220;patch job&#8221; areas from the rehab, but I could be wrong. I&#8217;m not qualified at the moment to make a judgment on this, but maybe the entire concrete platforms should have been replaced during the rehab, and not just patched? It&#8217;s only been a couple years since the rehab&#8230; We&#8217;ll see if the platforms continue to deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p>More photos:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/v\/NYC-photos\/NYC-Subway\/Stations\/231st1\/DSC_3156.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/d\/146806-2\/DSC_3156.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/v\/NYC-photos\/NYC-Subway\/Stations\/231st1\/DSC_3158.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/d\/146809-2\/DSC_3158.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/v\/NYC-photos\/NYC-Subway\/Stations\/231st1\/DSC_3159r.JPG.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/railfanwindow.com\/gallery2\/d\/146811-2\/DSC_3159r.JPG\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 231 St station on the (1) in the Bronx was recently rehabbed.
