Wash Rite Laundromat at 112 E. Fourth St. is now closed here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Workers started clearing out the space in recent days...
As we reported on May 5, the owners weren't able to come to terms on an affordable lease renewal with the landlord.

On 4th Street, Wash Rite Laundromat cleaned out by rent increase, patrons say

Wash Rite Laundromat at 112 E. Fourth St. is closing at the end of the month. 

Several EVG readers told us about the pending closure, which they say is due to a rent increase that is more than the current ownership can manage. 

Here's the closure notice, posted over the "We ❤️ NY Small Business" poster in the window between First Avenue and Second Avenue...
Patrons signed a petition urging the landlord to allow the business to stay. We stopped by multiple times, though we were always instructed to return later to speak with the owner. (The owner also did not respond to our call-back requests.) 

"The laundromat has had a petition on its counter for a few weeks and got hundreds of signatures to try to keep it open, but the landlords are demanding an obscene rent hike," a patron told us. "All of us neighbors are so upset."
