After over 30 years on East Main Street, the Internal Revenue Service recently closed its doors and relocated operations to its Hauppauge office.

The office, which employed five people and is located directly across the street from Hyatt East End and the Long Island Aquarium, closed on Thursday, Jan. 26.

Behind, it will leave about 3,200 in office space, which is currently zoned as DC-4 (office, residential transition). According to the town code, DC-4 allows for office and professional space, single-family dwelling units, townhouses, places of worship, funeral homes, and a few other special permitted uses. 

Donna Mahoney, a principal with the company which owns the property, East Main Riverhead LLC, said that considering the existing infrastructure on the site, she has no plans to build residential units. A few other offices already occupy adjoining office space on the site, including Social Security Administration, a law office, a New York State agency, a dentist, and some others.

Mahoney said that should someone express interest, though not for 3,200 square feet, she could subdivide the space into smaller units around 1,000 to 1,200 square feet.

What do you think would make a good fit?
