Tina Silvestri, doing business as a Queens-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 102-49 43rd Avenue, in North Corona, located four blocks from the 103rd Street- Corona Plaza stop on the 7 train. The project will measure 7,772 square feet in total, 6,153 square feet of which includes residential space, which means units will average 769 square feet apiece.
