    FDNY gains approval for two new firehouses

    Acquisition/Site Selection  •  Sunset Park/Bushwick, Brooklyn

    New station houses would consolidate FDNY units. The Planning Commission unanimously approved FDNY’s two applications for the acquisition and selection of lots in Brooklyn for two new firehouses that will consolidate Engine 201 and Ladder 114 in Sunset Park, and Engine 277 and Ladder 112 in Bushwick.

    The FDNY sought approval to acquire a vacant, privately-owned lot at 5117 Fourth Avenue, Sunset Park, adjacent to Engine 201’s existing firehouse, where it would construct a new joint firehouse and battalion command center. The FDNY proposed to demolish Engine 201’s existing two-story facility at 5113 Fourth Avenue, constructed in 1892, and replace it with a three-story 13,000-square-foot, double-company station. No plan was proposed for the reuse of Ladder 114’s firehouse at 5209 Fifth Avenue, located one block from the proposed site. The Planning Commission approved the acquisition at 5117 Fourth Avenue, finding the location ideal due to its primarily commercial nature and its wide lanes. (read more…)
