Permits for the two, 7-floor retail-residential buildings from Extell Development along East 14th Street are still pending.
According to DOB records, the city disapproved the plans for the building at 500 E. 14th St. (at Avenue A) back on Nov. 18. (The city disapproved the plans for 524 E. 14th St. on Sept. 18.)
Meanwhile, a nearby resident points out that the empty lot at No. 500 filled up with water (again) after last Tuesday's rain … (the reader wondered if there is something going on with the area's water table … )

And an aerial shot of Extell Lake…
Also, on Friday, new rat baiting signs went up along the plywood…
