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. Amendments to the plan now call for an eight-story, 68-unit residential building measuring 40,520 square feet, which will span 3707-3719 Blackstone Avenue and 620 West 238th Street. The average unit will fall just short of 600 square feet, likely indicating rentals, and Shahriar Afshari is designing. The site has been rid of its two-story predecessor, which sat dilapidated until its demise in 2014.
Shanti Ammar, president of Anata Inc., has filed applications for four two-story, two-unit residential buildings spanning vacant lots at 144-16 to 144-24 106th Avenue, south of Downtown Jamaica.

Sigmund Freund’s Taron Walworth LLC has filed applications for two four-story, six-unit residential buildings at the vacant lots at 212 and 222 Walworth Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Julien Flander is designing both 4,000-square-foot buildings, and the filings appear to be associated with the other townhouses recently developed on adjacent lots. The site’s former two-story structures were demolished in 1994 and 2006, respectively.
Itzchak Zivari, doing business under Edenwald Development LLC, has filed applications for three two-story buildings spanning the vacant lots 2075-2079 Edenwald Avenue, in Edenwald. Two buildings will house two families, and one structure will be single-family. Five apartments will be divided across 5,470 square feet. Anthony Diproperzio is the architect of record, and the site’s former three-story building was demolished by the HPD in 2011.
