Construction on Residential Build Begins at Former Brownfield Site in LIC

You can’t tell from the photo, but a construction crew was out working hard at 47-27 5th Street, the LIC development site at 47th Road. It looks as if site work is underway, despite the DOB issuing new building permits back in September. The previously contaminated land was enrolled in the New York City Brownfield Cleanup Program for environmental remediation. Someday it’ll hold a four-story, eight-unit build — see a closeup of the building design after the jump.
