Board approves plans to replace shuttered Dorchester Avenue gas station with four-story residential building

The Zoning Board of Appeal on Tuesday approved plans by the owner of the shuttered US Petroleum station at Dorchester Avenue and Semont Road in Dorchester to replace it with a four-story, 14-unit residential building with six parking spaces and ground-floor space for a restaurant.

Dimitrios Gerasimidis's attorney, Nicholas Zozula, told the board his client is looking at selling the units as condos, rather than renting them as apartments, but has yet to make a final determination.
