Permits were filed Monday for a seven-story residential building at 196 East 7th Street in Manhattan’s East Village. Located between Avenue B and Avenue C, the interior lot is within walking distance of the 1st Avenue subway station, served by the L train. Jonathan Weinberger is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 9,064 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have ten residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 906 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, penthouse, and an 18-foot-long rear yard.
Andrew Goodrich of Bealin Groups Corp. is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

The lot is “vacant” in the same way that Central Park is vacant—full of trees, plants, and other greenery, sorely needed in that area. Accessed via a gate and fence on the sidewalk.
Get real man.
You sure that gate isn’t for residents only?
This neighborhood was a demilitarized zone until the late 1990s and the only reason this skinny “green space” is there in the first place is probably because the old walk-up that was there burned to the ground.
The photo is of the wrong side of the street. 197 East 7th is a five-story walkup across from the side-yard to the apartment building at 190 East 7th.
Sorry. My mistake. I let Google search change the address. But, 196 is the side-yard of 190 East 7th, Tompkins Square Plaza.
