Everyone remembers the Third Place Atrocity that we devoted so much ink to last year, right? Well, the gent who developed that bastardization is up to his old tricks just down the block. Austin Nagel has had plans to do a “horizontal and vertical enlargement” of his four-story brick townhouse at 120 Third Place (at left) since last summer so we can only guess he’s been waiting for the proceeds of Number 45 to get moving; it’s a safe guess that the expansion will look something like the one that’s underway two houses over at 116 Third Place )at right). What’s prompting all this action? As a commenter rightly pointed out in last Tuesday’s thread about 360 Smith, an archaic twist in the neighborhood’s zoning that lumps the unusually large front yards into the calculation of street width means that builders can get more juice out of these lots than in other brownstone nabes.
