We’re having a hard time figuring out what’s going on at 588 Union Street in Gowanus. The original brick building was boarded up back in August 2006, the same month the property was purchased for $440,074. Around that time, a permit was approved for “remedial repairs.” After ripping off the entire facade and rebuilding all the floors, the site was hit with a Stop Work Order back in September for a lack of shoring and guard rails. We’ve got no idea why these violations have yet to be cured. Anyone know what’s going on with this place? GMAP P*Shark DOB
