A demolition crew has been at the former Mobil station on Avenue C and East Houston...
...putting it yet another fence.
DOB permits show that the actual demolition will begin today. Meanwhile, the city has yet to approve the necessary permits for the 9-story retail-residential building here. (It had been 10 stories at one point.)
As a reminder, here are some renderings via the architect of record, Rotwein + Blake, showing what's to come...
There will be 46 residential units here and 4,600 square feet of ground-level retail.
The Mobil station closed on Sept. 2, 2014. It was the last one in business in the East Village.

What sort of retail is going to go into that spot?
Starbucks, TD, Duane Reade, Subway, and 7-11
Nothing that I'll be able to afford, I have no doubt. Or want, either, for that matter, who am I kidding?
Open a chipotle Mexican grill there and I'll be there everyday lol
