Queens-based property owner Robert Ustayev has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 64-60 Austin Street, in Rego Park. The structure will measure 6,221 square feet and its residential units should average 1,244 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The project will feature a townhouse-style apartment across the ground and second floors, followed by a single apartment on the third floor, and two units on the fourth floor. Robert Bahary’s Great Neck-based Bahary Architecture is the architect of record. The 19-foot-wide, 1,914-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a two-story brick house. The 63rd Drive-Rego Park stop on the M and R trains is five blocks away.

While I’m all in favor of increased density in this area of queens, what actually get built is yuck. The curb appeal/street fronts of the new apt buildings is a gigantic step down from what was there before. It’s a shame.
