Brooklyn-based Jonico Construction & Development has filed applications for a second three-story, three-unit residential building at 2272-2276 82nd Street, in northern Gravesend. The first building, also a three-story, three-unit structure, was initially filed in October, YIMBY reported. Both buildings will measure 4,986 square feet each. Across both, the full-floor apartments should average 1,247 square feet apiece, indicative of family-sized units. Brooklyn-based Design Studio Associates is the architect of record. The 60-foot-wide, 6,000-square-foot site’s three-story house was demolished in November.
