Cabot Street Gas Station to be Auctioned Off

A Cabot Street gas station that most recently sold BP gas is up for auction.

The station at 491 Cabot St has a deadline for bids of July 10.

The minimum bid is $150,000 for the online auction, which is being run by NRC Realty and Capital Advisors.

The gas station sits along Cabot Street between the railroad tracks at Kittredge Crossing and a mixed commercial and residential building called Cabot Crossing. It is diagonally across the street from the Memorial building.

It is in “commercial neighborhood” zoning that allows other uses such as single and two family homes and retail stores up to 5,000 square feet as well as uses such as a barber shop or bank. Other uses, such as a restaurant, would be allowed with a special permit.

The gas station is currently closed and not in operation. The property currently has gas pumps with a canopy along with a 320 square foot store on a quarter acre lot. Underground, there is a 10,000 gallon and 12,000 gallon tank, both installed in 1997. It is currently owned by Leemilt’s Petroleum of Jamaica, N.Y. and was most recently operated by Getty Petroleum Marketing of East Meadow, N.Y.
