Tear down a five story building with 20 or so apartments for a six story building with 22 apartments. This makes no sense.
The math doesn’t make sense at all.
Any chance the correct address is 40-12 which is the parking lot next door? That would probably make more sense, especially since no demo permit has been filed.
Absolutely no way they are tearing down that older 4-5 story building filled with rent controlled and rent stabilized apartments. Get your address correct NY YIMBY!
Obviously WRONG. Its the lot next door to the old residential building.
