255 4th Avenue, Park Slope

(between Carroll Street and Garfield Place)


Project Type: New building

Project Description: Construction of new 12 story, mixed use and residential condo building, 41 units

Status: Stalled superstructure. Partial Stop Work Order in effect, building significantly complete.

UPDATE 2/3/2010: DOB reports work in progress

Background: Started in 2005, this building was designed by the controversial architect Robert Sarano. Work proceeded but numerous violations were issued due to site safety issues, failure to safeguard the public, and inadequate fencing, among others. The site was declared Stalled in September 2009, and it was declared unsafe. Remedial repairs were made, and as of late December the DOB reported that there was no immediate threat. Some work has been permitted to proceed.
