Development Watch: 238 St. Marks Avenue
The digging had barely begun at 238 St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights when the project was hit with a Stop Work Order last week. The punishable offense? A lack of approved plans at the site for the “support of excavation and underpinnings.” Sketch-o-rama. The Karl Fischer-designed building is slated to have 20 units over…

The digging had barely begun at 238 St. Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights when the project was hit with a Stop Work Order last week. The punishable offense? A lack of approved plans at the site for the “support of excavation and underpinnings.” Sketch-o-rama. The Karl Fischer-designed building is slated to have 20 units over eight stories for a total of about 27,000 square feet. No renderings are available. GMAP DOB
Can they build an 8 story building on that block? Isn’t the max height 50 ft.
oh well….another hole in the ground in my nabe, Prospect Heights. It’ll go nicely with the several other buildings that are 1/2 completed and abandoned. Ugh.
This is a Sanches Associates PC screw up or a Skoblo Zalman Managing PC screw up?
And did Axis Design Group take over on project?
I think everyone’s waiting for HOTD. Hope it’s a good one!
same thing with curbed today, 12:22. maybe everyone’s still on the slopes from the long weekend.
As an engineer in NYC, I’m constantly stunned by the ‘local charm’ of our contractors, especially dirt guys. It’s not like I started with high expectations either. I guess underpinning is costly and time-consuming, but the lives! The adjacent properties!
no one seems interested in any of the threads today.
