The Department of Buildings issued a permit February 19, 2010 for the entire job at 220 Third Avenue, which is also known as 148 East 19th Street to Lawrence Pinner of the Port Washington, L.I. architecture firm of Pinner Associates.
The project is adding four floors to an existing three-story building and the addition will feature fire escapes, a building element not usually found in new construction in and around Gramercy Park, which is half a block away to the west.
The developer is Asher Dardashtian, a partner in A. J. Clark Management.
The building will have commercial uses on its lower three floors and 16 apartments.
The roofline on the sidestreet is notched and filled in a rendering with some trees.
