A small sidewalk bridge arrived this week outside 26 Avenue B… this is the site for a 6-floor apartment building … excavation work here last April 16 "possibly contributed" to the evacuation of residents next door after a crack was discovered running all the way up the back of the building.
A partial Stop Work Order remains in effect on the site of the new building. However, the city OK'd a permit in late November for "structural repair work" for 28 Avenue B.
At this point, we're not sure how many people are living in the building. The city rescinded the vacate order for residents on July 12. (Croxley Ales was able to reopen for business on June 27.)
As EVG regular Salim has noted, the entryway for residents to No. 28 appears supported by jacks, and many of the windows on the upper floors look vacant.
Meanwhile, there aren't any noticeable changes to the construction site, which remains dormant.

Good. They shouldn't be building there. The ground can't support these big new buildings squeezed between beautiful old tenements. Leave it the way it is. Put a park in there or something.
