New Life for Seized Building on Myrtle

464Myrtle-009.jpg
A reader sent in this photo of 464 Myrtle Avenue at Washington, where work began last week after a long period of inactivity following seizure by U.S. Marshals in 2003. The impetus? The government finally sold the property in March for $820,000, which seems pretty cheap to us. Not wasting any time, the owner has filed with DOB to install a new storefront. It’s unclear whether he’s using the opportunity to do work on the upstairs apartments as well. Any ideas what this place will be? What about the 2003 seizure — drug-related, right? GMAP P*Shark DOB
