Abraham Strulovitch had originally filed applications in December, during the building code crunch, for a residential project at 3707 Blackstone Avenue, in the more built-up southern portion of Riverdale.

The average unit will fall just short of 600 square feet, likely indicating rentals, and Shahriar Afshari is designing.
