The first stage of work that’s underway at 240 Atlantic Avenue is not trivial: It involves the removal of five 4,000-gallon underground gas tanks. When that’s done, the developer wants to build a five-story, 14-unit residential building. The only problem is that his plans have yet to meet with the approval of the Department of Buildings. We’re curious why this is only a five-story building. Surely you can build higher than that on Atlantic Avenue, no? GMAP P*Shark DOB
