Fun With Construction Permits: Williamsburg Edition

May 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Construction permits are supposed to be displayed so that they can be viewed. Technically, we supposed this can be viewed, either by a very, very tall person or by zooming in with your camera lens. This is 246 Bedford Avenue, which is on the block on which Quadriad Development would like to build a number of structures, including some high rises. Well, at least this one is current–all of the permits displayed on the building next door at 118 N. 4th Street that has been in slow-demolition mode since last year had expired on May 18.

    I’ve got another one: a teardown site at 496 Stratford Road in Ditmas Park West. They extended a 2×4 above the plywood barriers, and tacked the permits to the top of that. It’s more than 8 feet above the sidewalk. It might be even higher than your example here.
