Activity had been seen around 335 Lenox in the past month and now a plywood fence has been constructed around the ground floor. So what's going on with this corner storefront at West 127th Street in Central Harlem? Based on the permits that have gone up, it appears that all of the vacant store spaces and cellars are getting a bit of a makeover which includes HVAC systems and a one story office space. This entire block from 126th to 127th has had store renovations happening since the summer so expect more openings in the by the new year. As for the strange front doors on each of the fire escapes, it appears those are here to stay.
those aren’t fire escapes, they’re terraces. In the loosest sense of the word.

This block is really coming along with new establishments under construction at each corner.
