The last time we stopped by 42-83 Hunter Street in June, demolition had just wrapped and a rendering appeared on site.1 When we stopped in last week, we saw construction crews beginning work on the site, which appears to be the early stages of excavation, as seen in the photo below.
Permits approved by the Department of Buildings on March 12, 2015 call for an 8-story, 15 unit purely residential build with a FAR of 4.93.2 That works out to 12,336 square feet of residential space. New York YIMBY first spotted the permits back in December 2014, which were filed right before the new building code took effect.3
