Demolition permits filed to make way for 15-floor building on East 14th Street and Avenue C

Last week we noted that workers were giving last rites to the former R&S Strauss auto parts store on the southeast corner of East 14th Street and Avenue C.

And yesterday the demolition permit was filed with the city to knock down the one-level building.

Coming soonish. A Karl Fischer-designed retail-residential complex featuring 8,578 square feet of commercial space, 18,937 square feet for community space ... and 50 apartments above it all, so to speak.

R&S Strauss closed in the spring of 2009.

    15 stories just sounds like a slap in the face to Stuy Town, which has 13. Can't you just make it 12 so we can see over you?
