Last week, we walked by 44-16 23rd Street and noticed a plywood fence installed on site. The construction is part of a plan to convert the former factory into commercial space, as per a permit that was filed with the Department of Buildings on March 31.1 According to the permit: “WE ARE FILING THIS APPLICATION IN ORDER TO CONVERT FROM A FACTORY TO A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. WE PROPOSE TO OBTAIN A NEW CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.”
