After the previous owner spent much time and money evicting the rent-stabilized tenants at 20 Henry Street by pulling the building out of the Mitchell-Lama program, the Praedium Group has finally succeeded in getting approval (after seven failed attempts) from the Landmarks Preservation Commission for a four-story condo building in the former candy factory’s garden. The architects on the project are Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg. It’s an ironic circle, said Anita Karl, who lived in the building for 28 years before losing her rent-stabilized lease and moving to Crown Heights. We were thrown out so [the developer] could renovate for richer people and now they are taking those people’s backyards to make more condos. Like rain on your wedding day.
