Gut renovations underway at 324 E. 4th St., most recently the makeshift gallery for Hanksy and Co.



The gut renovations recently started at 324 E. Fourth St., where there are approved plans to add three new floors to the existing building here between Avenue C and Avenue D.

DOB plans documents show that No. 324 will eventually be home to 11 apartments.



In December and January, the empty tenement served as a makeshift gallery for Hanksy and a group of 40-plus artists.





There was talk that Hanksy would return here for one last show before the renovations started. However, as far as we know, that never happened.

  2. I'd call that a townhouse, not a tenement. No fire escapes, and probably it was originally a 1-family home.

    The point is kind of moot now, of course.
