Work Stops At Caton Place Condos

Less than a year ago, workers were laboring over Labor Day to finish 23 Caton Place in Kensington, also known as Caton on the Park. Now, locals report that workers haven’t been on the site for more than 10 days. But they probably aren’t on vacation. According to the Department of Buildings, yesterday a full Stop Work Order was issued along with a 10-day letter of intent to revoke the developer’s application, with 40 percent of the work completed. The referenced violation was blank last we checked. But there were several other violations listed with the Environmental Control Board. Here are a few: One day, inspectors found “diesel cans and gasoline cans stored on sidewalk open to pedestrians and children” and “concrete pour spilled over into [backyard].” On another day, a crane ball was left looming over public space. And on a separate occasion, inspectors found the sidewalk along E 8th St, about 100 feet in length, broken and full of debris. If completed, this eight-story building designed by Karl Fischer would have had 107 apartments. Anyone know what’s going to happen now?
