Feb. 18, 2016 — Haysha Deitsch, embroiled in lawsuits over his eviction of disabled senior citizens, is moving ahead with his latest project, a luxury condominium on Fourth Avenue, the so-called Canyon of Mediocrity that runs between Park Slope and Gowanus in Brooklyn.
If Deitsch’s demolition permit is granted, two auto repair shops, at 243 and 245 Fourth Avenue, will be razed and replaced with an 11-story structure containing 16 luxury condo apartments, DNAinfo reports. The architect Karl Fischer will design the building, which will include a pet spa, private roof deck and children’s playroom.
Meanwhile, Deitsch continues to fight a lawsuit brought after he evicted all but a handful of the senior citizens living in an assisted-living facility he owns at 1 Prospect Park West. Deitch’s sale of the facility for $76 million has been blocked until that lawsuit is resolved.
