There's a handfuls of tenements on the west side of FDB/8th Avenue in the lower 130's that have been empty for some time but it looks like a couple have gone through some dramatic renovations in the past few years. Number 2471 FDB at 132nd (top) is an HPD building which will be leased as affordable housing and should have a new retail space on the lower floor. The last photo shows No. 2461 just south of the HPD building which appears to be privately owned. Based on DOB permits, it looks like the latter apartments have all been gutted out and the 7 original units were divided into 12 new ones. It's not the most architecturally intact block since a major public housing project is on the east side of the avenue but the existing building are at least getting fixed up.
