A small building is planned for the corner of 5th Avenue and St. Johns Place, replacing a vacant lot and bringing some rare new construction to the North Slope retail drag. A crew’s been doing prep work on the site over the past month or so, and DOB filings say a five-story, four-unit structure’s in the offing. The lot’s been vacant as long as we can recall; anyone know if there was ever a building here? GMAP P*Shark DOB
Geez – @;00PM – your as old as dirt – thanks for the info though
Suprised you cover this and yet no comment on the 12 story building by Ismael Levya at 150 4th Ave – down the block from this) – where those 4-5 boarded up Brownstones were for years – looks like they are starting construction.
There was a building there in the early 50’s with a bar on the ground floor. As a kid, we used to sneak in the side door, on St. John’s, to watch their TV which was one of the few in the neighborhood at that time. We did not get a TV in our home until about a year or so later. So, the building could not have been demolished in 1913.
DOB link claims that the existing building was demolished in 1913 (!?). Not sure if that’s plausible.
You beat me too it. I took pics of this site yesterday and was going to send them to you!
Let’s hope for a retail space on the bottom.
no 421a for this sucker i guess
Yet another building that hasn’t even broken ground and you guys are already whining about it. There’s no pleasing some people.
Unfortunately, the filing includes a curb cut and parking for one car. What a nuisance, in such a transit-rich area.
I bet 100$ this will be a fedders building. Cause I know it won’t be a Neutra.
