238-bedford-avenue-090913

The roof is gone from what appears to be the remaining skeleton of a building at 193 Berry Street, part of a block-through development known as 238 Bedford Avenue, according to signs and permits posted at the construction site — although the DOB files it all under 118 North 4th Street. Otherwise not much seems to have happened at this site for years, except for painting over some graffiti on the construction fence.

An application to convert the existing building at 118 North 4th Street from manufacturing to residential was approved in 2005, but a note at the top of the file says the job is on hold. A proposal to add two stories was disapproved in 2007. Unspecified modifications to the existing plan were approved in October, and it looks like the architect may have changed to Berzak Associates Architects. According to a sign posted at the construction site, the address PropertyShark calls 193 Berry Street, pictured above, will be a new two-story building given over to retail. It is supposed to be completed in winter 2014. GMAP
