Ben did some detective work and found job records stating that 647-649 Washington Ave. has permits to build a 7 story, 70-foot-high building, with 8
apartments and 12,200 total square feet: "My guess is they would make
these condos and not rentals, based on the size of the apts." Probably not news, but it’s new to us, so it’s news. Get it?
And check out this C of O from 1947 [click it to enlarge]… first-story permissible use is "rag and paper storage"; the second story is "rag assorting." Hey, no rag assorting downstairs!
Itjbukem dug up this tidbit on the property next door:
651 Washington Avenue
Commerce Bank provided a $1.25 million construction loan for a six-story, nine-unit condo building. (http://ltjbukem.blogspot.com/)
My initial thought was that this was the same project but after examination on propertyshark it looks like this lot next door is owned by a different group.
