Permits have been updated for 806 East 170th Street, a seven-story residential building in Crotona Park East, The Bronx. Initial permits from Hershy Silberstein of Blue Shine Builders Inc. in 2022 called for a 44-unit structure under the 421A tax abatement program, which incentivized multi-family housing to be built on vacant or underutilized lots. Under the post-approval amendment (PAA), the scope has been expanded to 110 dwelling units. Because it went through a PAA process and a new permit was not issued, it will retain its 421A tax status, even though the program ended in June 2022.
Designed by Kao Hwa of Kao Hwa Lee Architects, the 70-foot-tall structure will span 76,346 square feet and also contain 55 open parking spaces and 55 bicycle parking spaces.
806 East 170th Street is located just to the south of Crotona Park. It is steps from stops for the Bx17 and Bx21 bus lines, and an eight-minute walk from the Freeman Street subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains.

How big a parcel is this going to occupy? A building with 11,000 square feet per floor plus 55 open parking spaces will not fit in the sliver of land shown in the picture.
It likely is including one of the flanking lots.
On the opposite of what I saw, it’s quite narrow: Thanks.
