The once beautiful residential blocks just north of Bushwick Avenue lost plenty of apartments during the arson-scarred ’60s and ’70s, but new infill projects like this one at 557 Hart Street are quickly transforming the neighborhood.
Flushing North LLC has filed additional applications to revive plans for a five-story, 18-unit mixed-use building originally filed in early 2014 at 557 Hart Street, in northern Bushwick. The building will span 17,422 square feet, and includes a 3,100 square-foot commercial component. Raymond Chan is designing, and an existing single-story structure must first be demolished.
