Development Watch: 396 Dean Street
According to the DOB, this renovation at 396 Dean has been going on since 2008, but it still doesn’t look very close to being finished. The permit was for a gut rehabilitation and the addition of a fourth floor, keeping it as a two-family building. Unless they are just placeholders, the choice of doors suggests…

looks like whatever was on sale at the home depot. guess they haven’t had a sale in a while.
I live directly to the right of the purple house. It is a really nice looking place, too bad it’s stuck next to that ugly renovation. Did they really have to make the construction barriers that green color?
I’ve been on the block since September 2008 and the look of this property hasn’t changed much from what you see now.
I love that purple.
As for the house under construction, don’t you put in the walls before you put in the doors and windows? Or is it just me?
In addition to the purple house, there’s a charming sky blue frame house right around here as well. This block is nice in that the house are of variesd styles with a couple of smallish apartment buildings thrown in as well.
AS for this new build, well, doors are the least of the problems. They are relatively inexpensive to replace. It’s the permanenence of the division into a double duplex (see the apparent julietification of the upper various floors, too) that would be more challenging to a buyer with dreams (however distant) of eventually triplexing or taking over the entire house.
Strangely, not a peep from any poster about being close to AY.
the purple house and the brick house on the other side are both terrific. The thing in the middle with the outhouse doors is junk.
I can love this house too if it doesnt disgust me with an ugly price
Prettier than the Pepto Bismol pink Brownstone in the Slope.
I walk by that purple house often and it is even better up close! Very cool.
LOL, I was thinking the same thing too, I like the purple house too !
