A reader sent in this photo yesterday evening of a fire on Degraw Street between Clinton and Court (actual address 57 Tompkins Place). The Gothamist news map pulled up this police report: “62 Tompkins Place & Degraw St. Fire on the third floor of a three-story vacant brownstone under construction.” As of now, we don’t have any more details. Can anyone fill us in on the accident or the state of the brownstone this morning? UPDATE: According to a tipster, this was a gut renovation that had been done over the past year that has now burned to the ground. The owners were supposed to move in TODAY! If anyone’s in the area, we’d appreciate a fresh photo.
