Chain link fence erected at 44-18 Purves Street lot

Recently, construction crews put up a chain link fence at 44-18 Purves Street pursuant to a permit that was approved in April, 2014.¹ It’s the only activity we’ve seen on the lot since crews began rodent abatement last summer.²

The lot was purchased by Silvercup Properties in 2014 for $21,085,841 according to Queens Brownstoner,³ and will likely play into plans that Silvercup has in an ajoining lot 27-21 44th Drive.⁴
