149 Kane Street, Cobble Hill

(between Henry Street and Hicks Street)


Project Type: Existing building

Project Description: Extensive repairs required, not addressed

Status: Vacant and sealed

UPDATE: DOB declared "Stalled": 2/16/2010

Background: This townhouse has received 36 violations since 2005, with the vast majority due to unsafe conditions and continuing deterioration, including numerous façade cracks, a hanging cornice, cracks in the stairs, roof decking separation, and blocked exits. A full vacate order was served in May 2009 and a full Stop Work Order was served in July, with violations for failure to comply with the vacate order.

In September permit applications were filed for a full interior and exterior renovation, but the plans were disapproved. All windows and doors are cemented, a sidewalk shed is up, the scaffolding company’s sign indicates that the permit was valid 12/31/2009, but no DOB permits are posted and there is no activity.
