The last time there was any major action at the corner building on 122nd Street and Lenox was back in March but it turned out to be for a movie production (Boardwalk Empire). All the scaffolding is still up at 241 Lenox Avenue from the past couple of years but progress was not visible until we walked by in the past week. There apparently are men working on the facade these days and the process of applying a scratch coat and skim coating it with stucco seems to be at hand. Permits show that old paperwork filed back in 2009 have been renewed this month to fix up the facade and some of the infrastructure. The paperwork also reveals that the brownstone is not an SRO but there are no clear indication of what the end use of the building will be. This is also the building that Mike's Newsstand has been standing under all these years so it would be nice to be able to see the notable business once more when the work is complete:
