Apartments to Replace Historic Wood Frame House in Bed Stuy

A new building permit has been filed for the little frame house at 664 Jefferson Avenue, rumored to be one of the oldest houses in Bed Stuy. Unfortunately, the house was too far gone from water damage to be saved, according to Brownstoner readers who saw it in person.

A stop work order was issued this month for interior demo without a permit in December. A demo permit was approved in January, but has not yet been issued. The house, which is not landmarked, is just down the block from the newly expanded Stuyvesant Heights Historic District.

The new building applications calls for a new four-story building with seven units. They are likely to be condos, since the developer is Boaz Gilad, who specializes in them. As soon as a rendering is available, we’ll post it.
