Equipment watch: 253 E. 7th St.



A reader noted that a davey drill and other equipment recently arrived at 253 E. Seventh St. between Avenue C and Avenue D... where a 6-story residential building featuring six residences (each condo roughly 1,500 square feet) will rise.



This replaces a four-story residence that stood here until late 2015.

And on the other side of Seventh Street... we haven't heard much about No. 264 (the one on the left), the circa-1843 townhouse awaiting possible demolition... there's a "no trespassing" sign on the door...



In November, The New York Times reported:

Barbara Sloan, the operations manager at Manhattan Renovations, a general contractor representing GlobalServ, said the owner was planning an information session for neighbors “to discuss details surrounding potential asbestos abatement and demolition.”

As far as we know, such a meeting hasn't taken place to date.

The elevator shaft in the rear adds a 7th story to 253 E 7th St.
