Just curious . . . which routes were assigned out of that depot, and when was it deactivated?

I can see this pic was taken in the mid-'30's, based on the Madison Avenue Coach Yellow 718.

The following information is from Motor Coach Age issue on Fifth Avenue Coach July August 1971.

Decline in ridership made consolidation of operations advisable so garages at 24 East 102 Street and 1480 Madison Avenue were sold in March 1958. The garage at 10 East 102 Street followed in 1960.

Route assignment is still a mystery.

Sounds like 10 East 102d Street therefore wouldn't have housed the first "Jetson" allotments FACL's "FACO Division" got, then . . .
