League Treatment Center To Take Poplar Police Building

To the chagrin of many Brooklyn Heights residents, any chance that the former 84th Street Precinct building at 72 Poplar Street would be converted to housing is now gone. According a tipster, a lease went out last week to the League Treatment Center, a program for developmentally and emotionally challenged that is losing its lease at 30 Washington in Dumbo in a couple of years. This possibility was originally floated in the Brooklyn Eagle back in November; as recently as December 19, however, area residents were lobbying CB2 to support a residential variance for the 30,000-square-foot building in the hopes of avoiding this very outcome.
