New Work Permits Posted on Decrepit Smith St. Buildings
Construction has begun at 250 and 252 Smith Street just a week after the Carroll Gardens buildings were marked as hazards.
Just one week after FDNY officials marked a trio of Carroll Gardens buildings as dangerous for entry, new work permits have been posted outside of two entrances.
The addresses located at 250 and 252 Smith Street both feature construction notices as of Wednesday, according to reports from neighbors. A blog post on Pardon Me For Asking confirms the updated work status.
"The DOB permit for 250 Smith Street is for the conversion of 'apartment at first floor to store (restaurant and bakery)' and to 'create eating and drinking at cellar.' The owner is also seeking a new Certificate of Occupancy," wrote Katia Kelly of PMFA, who added that "the permit for number 252 Smith Street is for a 'horizontal extension of 8' and interior rehab to the existing building.'"
There are no updates as to whether 254 Smith Street—the third building on the block in disrepair and presumably still under the same ownership—will also begin construction soon.
