Seven‑unit rehab on track at 446 Delaware Ave.; permits and plan review remain

The Board continued the stay of demolition for 446 Delaware Avenue after the owner reported major progress on a seven‑unit rehabilitation and submitted permits for windows, doors, roofing, gutters, siding and interior demolition.

Representative Artis Taylor said the exterior was "approximately 80% complete and was approaching a weather‑tight condition for the winter," with the first floor fully gutted and mechanical upgrades planned. Staff advised submitting comprehensive plans covering mechanical, plumbing, electrical and floor/unit layouts, warning that incomplete plans could extend the 30‑day plan review timeline. The Building Official said City inspectors are familiar with the interior conditions and encouraged a consolidated permit where feasible.
