To the chagrin of many Brooklyn Heights residents, any chance that the former 84th Street Precinct building at 72 Poplar Street would be converted to housing is now gone. According a tipster, a lease went out last week to the League Treatment Center, a program for developmentally and emotionally challenged that is losing its lease at 30 Washington in Dumbo in a couple of years. This possibility was originally floated in the Brooklyn Eagle back in November; as recently as December 19, however, area residents were lobbying CB2 to support a residential variance for the 30,000-square-foot building in the hopes of avoiding this very outcome.

St Anns kids are mostly a pack of druggies.
St. Ann’s has some of the most creative, intelligent, beautiful, successful young people in the history of the world, 1:59. Are you just jealous because your parents couldn’t afford to send you there? I’m guessing that’s a yes.
Hey 1:52 its boobs like you, if you were on the job, were more interested in stupid shit like spelling and grammer then making collars. I bet I had more collars than you in a month than u did in a year. I bet your a typical dipshit boss then a real cop.
If you want to see delinquents in the Heights all you have to do is hang around St Ann’s Prep. Talk about troubled teens.
You got your gold shield with spelling and grammar like that? I’d hate to read your DD-5s.
Those kids are out of control I seen them coming and going in dumbo. people aren’t going to be happy in the heights with these out of control kids. Beleive me I would move if they came near me. I hear them cursing, yelling at drivers, the buses block the streets. The stupid city masses retarted children with Delinquents. Im a retired Det and they always rob them. This is not a good thing for the heights. I locked up dozens of these kids for robbery
This building was built as a police precinct house -not a residential building so ironically residential use would require zoning waivers (because of the small back yard) but school use like this is as of right. Schools, or “community facilities” in planner-speak can actually cover the entire lot.
It is a good fit for the building.
11:21, you sound like a typical Carroll Gardens jealous loser to me. Enjoy your parkless, subpar school encrusted wannabe hood.
All neighborhoods should share the load when it comes to social service facilities. People with problems and special needs come from every community, their facilities should too.
I’m glad BHA didn’t freak. Shows a rational, adult mindset, and perhaps, a realization of civic responsibility.
