Demolition Permits Filed For Skillman Street Building

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A long-vacant Bed-Stuy eyesore is getting sent to the scrapyard.

A demolition permit was recently filed for 210 Skillman St. according to city records.

Property records reveal that the building was bought earlier this year by Yossef Karol for $1.4 million.

Department of Buildings records show that the two-unit, 122-year-old building has been vacant since 2014 due to structural damage from a fire which left two injured.

208 Skillman St. was also affected in the fire, but was recently renovated.

On the other side of the lot, at 212-214 Skillman St., a pair of two-story buildings were recently demolished to be replaced with a four-story, two-family building.

Owner Chaim Lebovits bought the property in 2019 for $1.4 million and currently has nearly $6 million in debt against the property, nearly all of it from non-bank lender Broadview Capital.
