Plans have been filed for 22 Caton Place with DOB and are under review. This is the property that was the site of the chalkboard and corkboard factory and which underwent the ULURP process in an attempt to upzone to R7A. Zoning of the property was granted at R7B in a compromise agreement (details elsewhere on this site). A complete report on the project can be downloaded here .

The text of the report includes unattributed copy from this website, written by me (Mandy), and includes information on our group's activities. It also has detailed floor plans of the building and data on the number and type of units. This photo rendering of the building came from the Empire Equities report; I borrow it without permission, but in the spirit of fair exchange of content.

Rendering of the proposed nursing home on Caton Avenue.

The developer, Marvin Azrak, and his architect met with community members to present their plans for a nursing home to be built on Caton Avenue between E. 7th and E. 8th streets. These plans were approved in 1993 by DOB but construction has been delayed due to lack of funding and state approvals. Mr. Azrak reported that the Ahi Ezer Congregation has now secured HUD funding and state permits and expects to begin construction soon.
