Renovations in order for Stuyvesant Grocery and Pete's-A-Place?

Plywood has gone up at 14th Street and Avenue A... where the stores were lost to a three-alarm fire in May...




The only work permit on file states: ALTERATION TYPE 3 - CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT - FENCE
ERECT AND DISMANTLE 8 FOOT HIGH WOOD CONSTRUCTION FENCE AS PER PLANS FILED HEREWITH.

The permit is issued to All City Remodeling in Long Island City....



Perhaps a good sign... Remodeling and not, say, Demolition. So maybe this prime real estate won't become a condo or dorm. In any event, we're still collecting information here on the status...

    Well they did an asbestos abatement/removal several wees ago, would they have bothered if the whole thing were going to be bulldozed? I honestly have no idea. Fingers crossed that we get our deli back.

    I can taste Pete's "baby pies" every time I walk near that corner, but I'm afraid that we may not see them return, even if they rebuild those stores.
