Last week, Sterling Equities, owner of 345 Carroll Street, between Hoyt and Bond Streets, informed neighboring residents that demolition permits have been issued by the NYC Department Of Buildings for the old two-story brick building on the site to make way for a new residential development. According to a notice distributed to condo owners of an adjacent building, demolition will begin within the next two weeks and will last about four to six weeks.
That demolition may be complicated by the fact that just two days ago, the Department of Buildings issued a Stop-Work Order for "work without permits."

According to Curbed, Sterling Equities purchased the building in May 2013 for $12.5 million and is planning a new building that will house 35 condominium apartments.

In November 2013, Sterling filed a change of address for the property from 337 Carroll Street to 345 Carroll Street.

Until recently, the building housed the Regency Service Carts company.  The family-run business made  equipment for the restaurant and hotel trade.
