The old four-story brick commercial building at 369 Park Avenue is an island of charm in a sea of non-descript one-story warehouses and new-construction eyesores in the northeastern edge of Clinton Hill. It’s a beautiful building with four exposures that would make for some killer lofts if not for one problem: It’s zoned M-1 for manufacturing. This corner of the neighborhood was not impacted by the recent rezoning; nor is it within the proposed Wallabout Historic District or the boundaries New York State has outlined for its historic designation. There’s yet to be a consensus formed about whether the area should be rezoned for residential, but plans to create 434 residential units as part of a mixed-use project on the site of the former Navy Brig at Flushing between Clermont and Vanderbilt suggest the city is open to the idea.
