East Ninth Street parking lot will yield to 6-floor residential building

Following our post on Wednesday about the current construction projects in the neighborhood... a tipster told us about a development that we were unaware of — 327 E. Ninth St., currently a parking lot between First Avenue and Second Avenue...


The city has already OK'd plans for a six-floor residential building in the space...


Per the DOB, the 7,200-square-foot building will contain two residences ... with a garage and an elevator. Per the application, our old friend Ramy Issac is the architect ... and the owner is listed as Terrence Lowenberg of Icon Realty, who has been busy with turning 147 First Ave. into a hotel ... as well as developing 326-328 E. Fourth St. ... and other properties.

Meanwhile, the tipster also points us to the adjacent buildings here along East Ninth Street...


There are additional floors in the works for 329 E. Ninth St. ... No. 331 ... No. 333 ... No. 335 ... However, so far, the DOB hasn't approved any of the additional floors for these addresses dating back to early last year...

    The only thing we can do is be vigilent and really hold the DOB's feet to the fire. Call into 311 and file a complaint about ANY violations (propping apartment building doors open, working Saturdays, leaving build materials out, etc.) The DOB WILL DO NOTHING, BUT WE WILL START TO CREATE A PAPER TRAIL!!! Developers get away with murder around here because the DOB DOES NOT ENFORCE THE LAW!
