REVIVE: 87 WEST 119TH STREET TOWNHOUSE

West 119th Street just east of Lenox Avenue still has a few townhouses that could use a touch up and Number 87 now appears to be going through a bit of makeover.  Records show that the former SRO building was sold back in 2013 for $1.2 million and exchanged ownership in 2015 before any of the work started up.  DOB permits online reveal that the beauty on the block with great bones will be reverted back into a single-family layout so the value of the building should really be elevated once everything finishes up in the near.   The address is also within the Mount Morris Park Historic District and close to the Whole Foods opening up on Lenox in July and thus the timing is pretty perfect for the developer or homeowner.
