As federal recovery money has slowly flowed into the Rockaways, YIMBY has noticed plenty of new building permits for one- and two-family homes, but very few for multi-family developments. However, it seems like the tide may be starting to turn for the flood-damaged peninsula in eastern Queens: plans have just been filed for a four-story apartment building at 11-30 McBride Street in Far Rockaway.
Property owner Daudi Rodriguez has filed applications for two two-story, two-unit residential buildings at the lots 2414-2416 Bouck Avenue, in Pelham Gardens. The four residential units will be split across nearly 6,900 square feet of residential space, and Jung Y. Shin is the architect of record. An existing two-story, single-family building must first be demolished.
An LLC has filed applications for a four-story, three-unit residential building at 174 Richardson Street, in northern Williamsburg. The building will measure nearly 4,750 square feet, and Philip Toscano is designing. The existing two-story, two-unit townhouse passed pre-demolition inspection earlier in May.
Earlier today, a new building application was filed for a 14-story mixed-use building at 142 West 29th Street, roughly halfway between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Chelsea.
Property owner Gjergj Lunaj has filed applications for two three-story, four-unit residential buildings spanning 817-819 East 218th Street, in Williamsbridge. The eight residential units will be divided over 7,140 square feet of residential space, and Fred Geremia is designing. The existing 2.5-story, two-unit wood-framed structure was approved for demolition in February.
