Seven-Story, Seven-Unit Rental Building Filed At 786 Park Place, Crown Heights

Eugene Khody, operating under an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a seven-story, seven-unit residential building at the 25-foot-wide vacant lot of 786 Park Place, in eastern Crown Heights, four blocks north of the Nostrand Av. stop on the 3 train. The building will measure just 4,865 square feet, which means units will likely be rentals, averaging 695 square feet. Richard Walsh, of Citiscape Consulting, is the applicant of record.

Permits Filed: 88 Walworth Street, Factory to Synagogue Conversion in Bed-Stuy

Deep in the Hasidic territory at the northern edge of Bedford-Stuyvesant, old industrial buildings bump up against new apartments with staggered balconies alongside kosher grocery stores and bakeries. The neighborhood is dotted with new synagogues and yeshivas, built to keep up with the fast-growing population of ultra-Orthodox Jews. And every once in a while, an organization takes over an old factory to convert it, instead of tearing it down.

Yeshiva Ahavas Israel, headquartered in a curved, 1920s brick factory at Franklin and Flushing Avenues, found one such industrial building nearby at 88 Walworth Street. Earlier this week, they filed plans to convert the low-slung structure between Park and Myrtle Avenues into a house of worship.
