Just next to the future Best Western, on 26th Street and 4th Avenue, the building boom is still healthy. This building, the former site of an aluminum sided row house before it was demolished 10 years ago, went up fairly quickly, considering the first new building permit was issued in early 2007. The project’s only endured two complaints, the last one in February claiming they failed to safeguard the site. The permit calls for a four-story building, though doesn’t specify the number of units.
