The fences are built and a wrecking crew is set to descend on another house in the “Historic Bushwick Corridor.”  On the corner of Grove Street and Bushwick Avenue sits an eclectic standout yellow mansion which on Tuesday Morning a crew of construction workers could be seen building up the city mandated green construction fencing around the building.  The department of buildings work permit states clearly in a description of work stating, “FULL DEMOLITION – FULL DEMOLITION OF EXISTING HOUSE.”
