“A tipster” said the City’s Department of Buildings has approved the plans of Daten Group LLP, who purchased the former police building at 72 Poplar Street last May for $7.5 million, to convert the building for residential use.
Brownstoner: The LPC, which heard about the owner’s designs on the building, has also given its blessing to the plans. What’s in store: An extension of the existing fourth floor; construction of a new fifth-floor addition; a setback of the rear wall by five feet to achieve legal light and air requirements; the installation of a new rear façade; construction of a new accessible ramp at the Popular Street entrance; new window and door openings on the east and west facades; and a one-story rooftop addition on an adjacent garage.
