Construction at Shuttered Palermo

Construction at Shuttered Palermo

Michael Milch sent a photo in of major construction taking place Palmero Pizza, on the corner of Cortelyou and Coney Island Ave, on Sunday. Palermo has been shuttered since last year due to nonpayment of sales tax but appears to now be going under a transformation as the windows have been replaced with bricks.

Palermo’s old number has been disconnected and no government officials have responded yet to inquiries about the space. A 2011 permit is on file with the DOE but it was pre-filed a full year ago in September and filed in December just before the tax man shut the place down.

Does anyone know what’s happening now?
