97 St. Marks Avenue Update

It’s been about a month since we broke the news about the new owner at 97 St. Marks Avenue who was trying to create a curb cut in the recently landmarked part of Prospect Heights so we thought we’d check back in with DOB to see what the status was. Remember that last we checked the DOB had just issued a 15-Day Letter of Intent to Revoke the permits for the cut. Here’s the latest from the buildings department: “The Department has put the applicant on notice that approval needs to be obtained from the Landmarks Preservation Commissioner before work can begin for the curb cut. The Department also issued a Stop Work Order which will remain in place until the approval is granted.”
