It looks like there’s a revival in the works for three historic rowhouses that were nearly lost to the ravages of neglect.
The city Buildings Department issued permits in the final days of December for renovation work to the new owners of 11-13-15 Old Fulton St. – the latest of a flurry of fix-up permits for the Fulton Ferry Historic District properties.

But previous owners, which included an LLC whose president was investor Jacob Deutsch of Monsey, N.Y., let these buildings on the edge of DUMBO deteriorate badly. So badly that the city ordered them vacated in 2010 – and threatened to demolish them if they weren’t shored up.
