Development Watch: 651 Coney Island Avenue

While most people think of single-family wood houses when they think of Victorian Flatbush, there are clearly a lot of people interested in the area who can’t swing an entire house. They are presumably who the developers of 651 Coney Island Avenue had in mind when they set out some time ago to build this 22-unit condo on the edge of Beverley Square West. The 50,000-square-foot, six-story building is designed by Sear Tombasco Architects, the firm also responsible for this building in Bay Ridge. Unfortunately, the project has been stalled by a Stop Work Order for ages, something to do with a collapsed fence and the threat of falling debris. Can anyone who lives near here give us a general timeline for how this project has proceeded? GMAP P*Shark DOB
