DOWNTOWN YONKERS: Despite polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PFOA and PFOS being found in subsurface soils, the state says the former Yonkers Firehouse site poses no significant threat to public health or the environment.
GET THE PAPERWORK IN: However, the State Departments of Environmental Conservation and Health want a cleanup plan developed for the two-thirds of an acre brownfield site in an urban area of The City of Yonkers.
GOOD TO GO: The property is currently zoned for commercial use and its redevelopment is proposed as future mixed-use, consisting of apartments and commercial space.
YONKERS HISTORY: The site includes industrial and commercial uses prior to 1927. The site houses the Yonkers City Fire Department from 1927 to 2018.
In 2012, the third and fourth floors of the Yonkers Fire Headquarters/Station 1 on 5-7 School Street were deemed unsafe. Both the executive offices of the Yonkers Fire Department and the offices of Local 628 Yonkers Firefighters Union, that had been located on these floors, were moved to a new facility on 470 Nepperhan Avenue.
On June 5, 2015, the Building Department of the City of Yonkers determined that the entire Station 1 (Former Yonkers Fire Headquarters) was unsafe and condemned it.
Tower Ladder Company 71 was moved to the quarters of Station 3 on 96 Vark Street.
Rescue Company 1 was subsequently moved to the quarters of Station 8 on 571 Warburton Avenue.
The the Former Yonkers Fire Headquarters was torn down.
The site is presently unoccupied with a combination of pavement and vegetated areas.
Other portions of the site were used for dye, textile, and clothing manufacturing purposes.
On December 18, 2019, there was the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony opening the New Yonkers Fire Department Station 1 located at 25 John Street.
Several articles from both the Yonkers Fire Department and the Yonkers School System were gathered to be placed in a Time Capsule which will be buried below the New Bell Tower located outside of the new station....
