Preliminary demolition work at 99-101 E. 2nd St. is — surprise — in the asbestos-removal phase



The two-level 99-101 E. Second St. at First Avenue will be demolished in the weeks/months ahead... but not before workers remove the asbestos from the space.

That operation is apparently underway...



One EVG reader thought this set-up looked a little casual given the potential severity of the work... The reader also noted the lack of notice, which has prompted concerns among a few neighbors who learned of this activity via a sign on the dumpster...



As previously reported, developer Sergey Rybak has submitted plans for a 7-story, 22-unit residential building on the property of the current 24 First Ave. and 99-101 E. Second St.



And as a reminder, here's a rendering for the space via the Rybak website...



According to the site, the residences will be condos (building name for now — 101E2). The ground-floor space is designated for retail use.

Demolition permits filed to bring down former Lucky Cheng's building on 1st Avenue



The demolition permits were filed with the city back on Friday to bring down 24 First Ave. ahead of construction of a new, 7-floor residential building.

Developer Sergey Rybak submitted plans for the 22-unit residential building on May 24. The work permits list the new building at 99-101 E. Second St., which is part of the L-shaped assemblage that once housed Lucky Cheng's. In total, the building will encompass 19,000 square feet.



Rybak, of the South Brooklyn-based Rybak Development, was the winning bidder for the property during an auction in February. The price: $12.25 million.

Presumably both structures — 24 First Ave. and 99-101 Second St. — will be demolished...



Before Lucky Cheng's, No. 24 was Club Baths, the first openly gay-owned bathhouse from 1971-1983. You can read more about the space's history at Jeremiah's Vanishing New York.
