Bay Ridge Journal reports that “the charming Salam Arabic Lutheran Church building, at 345 Ovington Avenue between 3rd and 4th Avenues in Bay Ridge, is scheduled for demolition, to be replaced by a 5-story, 25-unit residential development…Salam, originally known as Salem Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, after a church in Copenhagen, Denmark, was renamed after being acquired by an Arabic congregation in 1995. The Arabic congregation, which says it can’t afford to maintain the building, is sharing space at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church at 80th Street and Fourth Avenue.” According to Property Shark, the church dates back to 1920; the DOB application for the new construction is here.
