Brooklyn-based EM Development has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 145 Huntington Street, in southern Carroll Gardens. The structure will measure 8,978 square feet, which means its residential units should average 1,496 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. There will be two units per floor on the ground and second floors, followed by two more apartments across the top two floors. Paul Lombardi’s Brooklyn-based Design Studio Associates is the architect of record. The 42-foot-wide, 4,657-square-foot property is currently vacant. The site is located three blocks from the Smith-Ninth Streets on the F and G trains.

Senior Housing Set to Replace Abandoned South Bronx Church at 1017 Home Street

On a cold January day in 2009, a pipe burst and flooded the boiler of the Home Street Presbyterian Church, in the Foxhurst section of the Bronx. A small electrical fire destroyed the boiler for good, and the company that insured the church failed during the Great Recession. Facing a winter without heat and lacking the funds to repair the boiler, the congregation scattered to other churches in the South Bronx, and the little chapel on Home Street was abandoned. Now, the 1910 structure will be demolished to make way for affordable senior housing.
