Dyker Residents Wary of Impending Development at Angel Guardian Home
Permits have been filed for a new three-story building at the site of the storied Angel Guardian Home in Dyker Heights, according to the Department of Buildings (DOB) and, while reports sound nice, residents are still worried they might not come to fruition.
Though the current filings already appear to have been disapproved by DOB plan examiners, moves are at least being made as the site’s prior owners, the Sisters of Mercy, just last month closed a $37.5 million deal on the massive property, located at 6301 12th Avenue, as the Brooklyn Daily first reported.
According to the Daily, the site’s developer, Scott Barone, has said he stands by plans to build “market-rate, affordable, and senior housing on the property, along with a school,” and “luxury senior living,” while also keeping its main building, which locals repeatedly pushed to landmark.
