    BSA found no reasonable return with a conforming use of the property.  On December 9, 2014 the Board of Standards and Appeals voted to grant the applicant, 290 Dyckman Properties, LLC, three waivers to allow conversion of a former manufacturing building into a self-storage facility.  The building is located at 290 Dyckman Street in Inwood, Manhattan, at the corner of Dyckman Street and Henshaw Street.  The building is two stories covering a lot area of 17,287 square feet, with one hundred feet of frontage along Dyckman Street and one hundred sixty-nine feet of frontage along Henshaw Street.  The proposal would convert the building to a self-storage facility with 34,529 square feet of floor area and 760 storage units.
