The would-be retail site on the corner of 4th Avenue and 3rd Street that’s been in awful disrepair for awhile now was getting backfilled on Monday. The crew on the site said the work was mandated by the DOB, which has recorded a bunch of violations on the property for stuff like its crummy construction fence, copious debris, etc. The site was at one point rumored to be a future Starbucks location, but that obviously didn’t happen and it was put on the market about a year ago. The parcel’s price, originally $3.25 million, is now down to $2.75 million.
