Fort Greene About to Get Fingered
We’d pretty much written off 122 Adelphi Street, for this economic cycle at least, given that it had been sitting for a year and a half since ending up on the winning end of a BSA application. So we almost fell off our bicycle on Friday when we pedaled past and saw steel beams rising…
We’d pretty much written off 122 Adelphi Street, for this economic cycle at least, given that it had been sitting for a year and a half since ending up on the winning end of a BSA application. So we almost fell off our bicycle on Friday when we pedaled past and saw steel beams rising from behind the plywood fence. We suspect the activity has knocked neighbors for a loop as well, considering that there’s an approved building permit in place for an 11-story building. Given that this is mid-block and on a much smaller footprint and surrounded by two-story frame houses, this will likely look much more out of place than the 16-story building now topping out at 163 Washington Avenue.

Isn’t this a landmarked area? How does LPC get away with approving this?
Poor dear wee little houses, to be doomed to have an ugly giant squatting on them forever.
The project got funded! Ether you build it or lose the money! Future Low-Income housing Woo Hoo!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
From the Streetview, it looks like the adjacent clapboard houses are the two nicest on the block. Very, very unfortunate.
What is the zoning down there by navy yard? which blocks can do this? If FAR is so generous – aren’t those other little houses/parcels then really valuable?

According to your earlier post, the Department of Buildings vested this project, not the Board of Standards and Appeals.
