Available on NYC Housing Connect are three units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $90,858 to $187,330.
Permits have been filed for a four-story mixed-use building at 134-11 221st Street in Laurelton, Queens. Located at the intersection of Merrick Boulevard and 221st Street, the lot is near the Laurelton station, serviced by the Long Island Rail Road. Myron J. Berman under the 221-06 Merrick Boulevard Associates is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Permits have been filed for a two-story community facility building at 139-16 219th Street, in Laurelton, Queens. The site is five blocks away from the Laurelton Train Station, serviced by the Long Island Railroad. RCCG Destiny Sanctuary will be responsible for the development.
Two more applications have been filed that would replace another single-family structure in the neighborhood of Rego Park, and Laurelton, an even rarer vacant lot, in central and eastern Queens, respectively. The burgeoning demand for residential units makes it more attractive to redevelop lots that would otherwise remain single-family homes.
The property owner of the single-family home at 63-33 Alderton Street, in Rego Park, has filed applications for a two-story, two-family building measuring 2,405 square feet. The existing structure will be utilized and expanded upon during construction, and Chang Hwa Tan is designing.
