Permits have been filed for a five-story residential building at 228 13th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Located between Fourth and Fifth Avenues, the lot is a short walk to the 4th Avenue-9th Street subway station, serviced by the F, G, and R trains. Robert Saffayeh under 205 14th Street LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield 32,751 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 28 residences, most likely condos based on the average unit scope of 1,169 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, six open parking spaces, and 22 enclosed parking spaces.
Dome Architecture, Design & Engineering is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in June for the religious structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Wait, this beautiful building is being torn down for a five-story condo? G-d help us.
Given that it’s described as a “religious structure”, I’m pretty sure that G-d isn’t going to help us on this one.
It was a Masonic lodge.
Roy, it was a synagogue. Note the candelabra and other iconography on the frieze above the doors.
I’m not sure of the exact history of the building…perhaps it was fraternal or trade related but it was most definitely not a synagogue. Candelabra? Are you being serious?
It seems obvious even to me, that the classic tall windows, running down the sides and front of this building, were originally meant to help ‘illuminate’ whatever congregation gathered inside It definitely was a religious center.
I feel like if they’re going to tear this gorgeous building down they should at least do something more ambitious than a dull 5 story condo..
another piece of nyc history down the drain for what ?
condos.
what a shame
every religious institution is just as greedy as everyone else

It was Holy Family Catholic Church in 1924. Built in 1908. My aunt and dad were baptised there.
