Residential Conversion of Former Police Precinct in Brooklyn Heights Can Finally Move Forward
The planned residential conversion of the former police precinct building in Brooklyn Heights can finally move forward, with last week’s approval by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) in Manhattan.
The building, at 72 Poplar St., is described as “a police station with attached garage designed by Beverly King and Harry Walker, and built in 1912.” The application by the Daten Group is to construct rooftop additions, alter the rear facade, alter window openings at the side facades, and install doors and infill.
The property has gone through several owners and several conversion plans over the past seven years, since it was sold at auction by the city in 2004.
