i swear i seen it all the time cant put my finger on it. this is on the brownstoner today.

Looks like the one a couple doors down from the store - between Prospect and St Marks. There are 2 or 3 on the block that are shells...

i wonder if they are for sale.

Yup, just confirmed - it's in the middle of the block.

So is it for sale? It's been empty for a very long time as far as I can recall. What's going on with it?

me too. damn it some body must be in the know in the hood on this subject!!!

The gate hasn't been opened in ages - the paper and vegetation in the photo is still there, whithering away.

This property has been through the ringer. The original owner died in 1992 leaving the property to his grandson and his son as the executor. Through unknown reasons the will was not probated until 2004 by the son and his father. The son sold the property to someone who promised to renovate the building, this person incurred violations from the DOB while cleaning out the building. This person then sold the building in late 2005 early 2006 to someone else. The property is 696 Washington Ave and you can find the new owners name on the property tax website. This property is an eyesore to our community and I would love if someone can do something with it.
