My neighbor is planning to bulldoze the front of their 1860s brownstone to put a garage in the ground floor and create a driveway from the street to the front of the garage. This is on a recently landmarked block in Prospect Heights. Looks like they got the DOB to give them the permit while the application for the block’s landmark status was pending. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? It completely violates the whole point of landmarking. On top of that, the owners are evicting a 30-year resident of the neighborhood who sold them the building in order to turn her apartment into a garage.
Any suggestions for how to stop this?
