More like Gut Renovation Watch here on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C.
This townhouse had been on the market for several years. At last look in December 2014, the asking price was $3.75 million. That listing noted:
This townhouse is the lowest price townhouse in East Village and requires TLC. Renovated townhouses in East Village sell between $5.5- $7.0 million dollars so there is an opportunity to make millions on this property.
However, it appears that the building never found a buyer, per property records.
As you can see, workers have gone the hardcore TLC route, stripping the now open-air building down to the bricks...
According to the approved permit on file with the DOB (in their all-CAP style): INTERIOR RENOVATION OF EXISTING ONE FAMILY WALK-UP DWELLING AND REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING FRONT BRICK FACADE WALL.
This is the second building on the block to receive a gut rehab. No. 222 will be home to an extended 6-floor building with 8 residences...

Make millions on this East 7th Street townhouse
What a building "in the heart of the east village" didn't sell overnight????
ReplyDeleteMy guess it will be gray purple bricks with big windows have smaller square panes just like every other "new" building in the area.
Geez - why don't they just cut down that freekin' tree! Like we need green space in the EV?
ReplyDeleteI live on the block. The crews are constantly violating the terms of their construction permits -- particularly with regards to after-hours activity. Please feel free to call 311 or file a DOB complaint, as this is one of the most unsafe construction crews I've seen in years.
