Developers filed the permits with the city this past Friday. According to the paperwork, the proposed building — using the address 88 E. Second St. — will be 19,278 square feet, with 2,994 square feet designated for commercial space. Plans call for 22 residential units (likely rentals, given the square footage).
The filings list Manny Ashourzadeh of Romah Management Corp. as the owner (they also have a 13-floor building in the works on Fifth Street and Avenue D). Queens-based Gerry Caliendo is named as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last summer.

NOOO!
MY OOOOL! it was a good run
Hope those joists can be saved and reused!
I hope New Double Dragon find a a place soon!
@8:15- The joists look relatively newish. Not the older southern pine form the 19th century which typically has a wider base and top and are spaced further apart. But still a shame to toss perfectly good wood into a dumpster.
That laundromat was a NYC institution in itself with a constant cast of characters who represented the throwback LES; it was seedy, dirty with plenty of neighborhood gossipers who would spill for a scratch off card and a pastry. It will be missed.
Serenity now!
