They may not be able to get financing for this. New construction behind stabilized facades is expensive and the DOB will throw every nitpick at them. They hate this sort of thing. Will probably demand the 150-year-old facade masonry be reinforced to meet modern CMU wall standards, etc etc etc.
The facades need to be saved because they are in the historic district and part of a group of facades. But they will become phony facades when the actual historic buildings are demolished and a new building is built up behind them. The term for that is “facadism”.
Two stoopless row house facades hiding a brand-new apartment building. I don’t know, I could live without it.
these are in a landmark district so I assume the facades will have to be retained if nothing else.
