Based on DOB records, it appears that the new owner of 185 Ocean had his plan to build an eight story building on the lot rejected. As we don't speak building code, it's completely unclear to us why the plans were rejected.
We're sure he'll build something... our best guess is that it's quite possible that he could submit refreshed plans for an eight story edifice and push them through.
The trick is you have to write "Bruce Ratner" on all your building applications.

I live on the other side of the park but bike Ocean Ave on my way to work. Anyway, I've noticed this lovely home had a sticker on it warning of rats and extermination. I hope the developer isn't trying to run it into the ground and get his plans approved!

I fell in love with this house at the open house last year. It still makes me sad that a developer bought it.
