Property owner Shaya Labin, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, 10-unit residential building at 481 East 21st Street, in Flatbush. The project will measure 10,970 square feet and its residential units should average 933 square feet apiece, which means either condominiums or rentals could be in the works. Some of the apartments will also feature space either in the cellar or on an upper penthouse level. Michael Avramides’s Midtown East-based architectural firm is the architect of record. The 40-foot-wide, 3,200-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a two-and-a-half-story house. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. The Cortelyou Road stop on the Q train is seven blocks away.

I can still see the latest project continuing, with a comfortable building for four-story happens.
It seems a shame to tear down such a beautiful home to make room for 10 units. Who are selling these homes? Children of the parents who bought them originally? Is it about the dollar versus legacy? Im so torn with my feelings.
This house isn’t in any particular neighborhood of Victorian Flatbush. It’s in Flatbush to be sure just not in a place where it’s preservation would be priority. Most of the buildings on that block are 4 to 6 story apartment buildings.Those homes changes hands more often than those that are within the Victorian neighborhoods, this one in particular has been sold 4 times in the last 14 years.
How do I apply for the apartments or Coop, Condo or buy in the listed Ads. My income os only about $90,000 a year and need an affordable housing .Thank you . 017 673 1701.
