Construction has been going on at 58 East 18th Street, by Church Avenue, for a little while now, but we just noticed the property management company has put up a giant “For Lease” sign on the structure that will become a 3,000-square-foot building with 5,000 square feet for parking.

According to the sign posted on the building, which is located by a number of large apartment buildings, the Church Avenue B/Q subway station, and the [incoming Q Gardens](/blog/garden/neighbors-spruce-up-q-gardens), the space is “ideal for a laundromat.” Another sign at the work site (located across the street from [Checkers](/blog/food/checkers-on-church-avenue-is-now-open)) stated that construction is projected to be completed in December of this year.

The city Department of Buildings [first issued a work permit for the construction of a new building](http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/WorkPermitDataServlet?allisn=0002583944&allisn2=0001581988&allbin=3846348&requestid=2&ref=bklyner.com) at the site in August 2013\. [The most recent work permit](http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/WorkPermitDataServlet?allisn=0002704612&allisn2=0001581988&allbin=3846348&requestid=2&ref=bklyner.com) was issued in May. [A DOB complaint was filed](http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/OverviewForComplaintServlet?requestid=2&vlcompdetlkey=0001755737&ref=bklyner.com) for the site in June for the “construction site being unsafe.” The complaint is now closed, with the [DOB noting](http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/OverviewForComplaintServlet?requestid=2&vlcompdetlkey=0001755737&ref=bklyner.com) that the “unsafe steel cylinder was removed.”

So, thoughts? What do you think should go there?
