Bed-Stuy Sad Vacant Lot to Be 4-Story Apartment Building

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A new four-floor, six-unit family building is going in place of the vacant lot at 659 Quincy St. between Malcolm X Boulevard and Stuyvesant Avenue, according to city records. An anonymous LLC based in Brooklyn filed plans for the 4,620-sq-ft. building to be designed by the West Village-based DJLU Architects, with each apartment measuring an average of 660 sq. ft.

The city knocked down a two-story townhouse that used to be in the lot in 2014, city records show. The townhouse wall on the left side had partially collapsed in 2013 from the cellar to the roof, and debris had fallen on the neighboring building, city records show. City records say the owner of the previous building, Danelle Jones, still owes the city $1,500 for a code violation in relation to the roof collapse, even though the building has since been demolished.
