Demolition is underway at 44-46 Purves Street based on a demolition that was approved on Dec. 23, 2014 for a “hand demolition of [the] two-story building.”1 The permit supersedes a permit filed on January 10, 2014 calling for mechanical demolition of the building. It’s the first activity we’ve seen on the building since abatement began back in September, 2013.2 Still, we’re not quite sure what’s coming to the area, since no build permits have been filed on the lot.
The building was purchased for $4,137,500 last year.3
