Scaffolding going up at 828 nostrand

Today I saw scaffolding going up at 828 nostrand, which is the metro pcs corner building on at eastern parkway. Any insight?

Sounds as if they are just doing repairs, and protecting the pedestrians:

Nice. I was scared it was going to be torn down, like the building across the street. Although, now I realize that is unlikely to happen because on the north side of Eastern Parkway, Nostrand is a historic district.

I don't believe that building is in the district. If you have a fast connection, look at page 2 of this report:

Humbug. The bank across the street counts (yay!) but the MetroPCS corner store does not.

Yeah crownheighter, I wish more of the quirky building were deemed historic as they are fascinating aggregate of styles. I have grown to love.
