The Knockdown Center continues its unending stream of problems with the Department of Buildings. Queens Crap caught permits that show the DOB is revoking the Knockdown Center’s application for an interior renovation. The DOB also flat-out rejected a plan to convert the space into a “Place of Assembly.” (The DOB also rejected similar permits late last year.)

The owners of the building have been trying to turn the warehouse into a permanent events venue for up to 5,000 people, much to the chagrin of nearby Maspeth residents. The Knockdown Center already has plans in place for an artist residency and concerts here; it’s unclear how these DOB problems will affect future events.
