St. Mark's Place now free of this mobile boiler

[Then]

And in posts that we didn't get around to posting this past week... the mobile boiler that had been sitting outside 56 St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue has finally left the block...

City records show that the permit for a new boiler was approved back in June.
