Joshua Dardashtian, of Pinnacle Real Estate Ventures, has filed applications for two four-story, multi-family residential buildings spanning the lots at 1506-1508 New York Avenue, in East Flatbush, near Brooklyn College. Each building will have nine apartments, averaging only 590 square feet apiece, which is strongly indicative of rentals. Sion Consulting Engineering is the applicant of record, and the site’s former 2.5-story structure was demolished this past May.
Blanca Otavalo, head of Fianzhin Builders Inc., has filed applications for two three-story residential buildings at 678-680 Jamaica Avenue, at the corner of Logan Street in Cypress Hills. Each building will have three residential units, averaging roughly 950 square feet apiece. Flavio Barros’ CB Engineering is the applicant of record, and a single-story garage structure must first be removed.
Pinnacle Real Estate Ventures has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at the vacant lot at 341 Fenimore Street, in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The project will measure 8,325 square feet, which translates into an average unit size of 1,190 square feet. Sion Consulting Engineering is the applicant of record, and the site’s two-story predecessor was demolished in 2011.
Property owner Joel Schwartz, of South Side Units LLC, has filed applications for a five-story, eight-unit residential building at the vacant lot at 22 Melrose Street, a stone’s-throw away from the Myrtle Avenue subway stop in northern Bushwick. The building will measure 5,885 square feet, which works out to an average rental-size unit of 735 square feet. KMP Design & Engineering is the applicant of record. The site’s former three-story, three-unit structure was emergency demolished sometime within the past few years.
