Workers are gutting Launderette at 97 Second Ave. this morning ... one day after the longtime laundromat near East Sixth Street closed for good.

As we previously reported, the operators of Launderette also owned the building ... and they decided to sell "for a host of personal and business reasons," according to a detailed letter to customers.
Stuart Zamsky, who took these photos, calls this a "huge loss" for those residents who have depended on Launderette through the years.
The new landlords are hoping to attract a restaurant, the last thing this part of Second Avenue needs, into the space.
