The Triangle at Washington and Grand!

June 15th: Business appears unchanged at the garage. No fewer cars present.

Perhaps he merely refiled his old plans, and still does not have financing or a contractor?

July 11th:   No change.

Nov 25th:   No change.

April 11: Visibly fewer cars are in the lot. Hours of operation have become very sporadic.

This could be a good sign.

No demolition permit on file yet, but I am seeing a clearing out of stuff and cars.

One less junkyard of false starts around here.

Next stop, demolition permit!

A source informs me that this project is happening, and that everything of value (i.e. Tools and equipment) has now been removed from the building.

PRAISE

I have so far managed to avoid getting razor wire in my eye from this derelict property, and hopefully now I never will

I am pleased to present a demolition permit, effective 8/29/2017. 701 Washington Ave. http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/JobsQueryByNumberServlet?requestid=1&passjobnumber=321616373&passdocnumber=01

The hoarding boards are up (green construction fence) around the lot now.... waiting for the banging noises to start. My son's bedroom window faces the lot

Demolition should not take long or be that dirty. It will likely be dirtiest and noisiest when they dig the foundation.

Almost 3 months later, the building remains.

It seems the retail space on the ground floor of the new building on the SW corner of Prospect and Grand remains without a tenant. Maybe commercial space in this area of Washington Ave is not as hot as it seems.

Landlords also love to take their sweet time until they find a high-paying tenant, since commercial leases are so long— as opposed to year-long residential leases.
