Permits have been filed for a nine-story residential building at 34-20 38th Street in Astoria, Queens. Located between 34th and 35th Avenues, the lot is near the Steinway Street subway station, served by the M and R trains. Mordechai Schwimmer of 1605 NY Realty LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 95-foot-tall development will yield 63,880 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 89 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 717 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, 17 open parking spaces, 12 enclosed parking spaces, and a 34-foot-long rear yard.
S. Wieder Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed earlier this month for the two-story residential building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

89 units replacing 2 units is great! Wish that there was no parking though…
Especially since Astoria is one of the few neighborhoods where parking minimums were removed
Nice to see additional housing built in south Astoria and great that they are including some off street parking in the otherwise unused below grade and required rear yard space. Parking in this neighborhood is rough as-is without adding another 80+ housing units. Looking forward to seeing the renderings and hoping for something with a modern vibe.
The parking is a bad thing ; it encourages car ownership
