72-Poplar-Street-Brooklyn-0208.jpg
To the chagrin of many Brooklyn Heights residents, any chance that the former 84th Street Precinct building at 72 Poplar Street would be converted to housing is now gone. According a tipster, a lease went out last week to the League Treatment Center, a program for developmentally and emotionally challenged that is losing its lease at 30 Washington in Dumbo in a couple of years. This possibility was originally floated in the Brooklyn Eagle back in November; as recently as December 19, however, area residents were lobbying CB2 to support a residential variance for the 30,000-square-foot building in the hopes of avoiding this very outcome.

  1. The only way that property will lose its value is if the job market in NY collapses. Then things will drop like a stone because there is no real value to most of these properties except proximity to jobs. There is no property or amenities or beauty or spaciousness, they are all pretty awful cramped little spaces. New York is not about qulaity of life or amenity it is about ambition and work, work, work. No work, and there will be nothing here. So pray that the banks and law firms stay in town.

  2. sorry to disappoint everyone that thought that this school is for the trouble youth, the school is not for troubled youth. the school is for children that are 3-7 years old that have developmental delay issues.
