May 2, 2016 Staff Report

Developers have their eye on a Roosevelt Avenue property near Corona Plaza.

Plans to demolish a one-story commercial space at 102-05 Roosevelt Ave. were filed with the Department of Buildings late last month.

These filings come on the heels of other construction plans indicating that developers want to put a new, slightly taller building on this site.

Issa Khorasanchi, the applicant of record, and property owner Hector Burgos, who filed last month’s demolition plans, had also filed plans to build a two-story commercial building on this property in February 2015. Those plans were disapproved by the DOB in June. They subsequently filed plans for a three-story mixed use building in August, which were disapproved in September.

The mixed use building would have a retail space on the first floor, one residential unit on the second floor and two units on the third floor, according to DOB documents. A new cellar would also provide storage space for the commercial tenant.

Burgos and Khorasanchi could not be reached for comment.

Armed robber unmasked: NYPD releases image of suspect wanted in Flushing phone store heist

The alleged perpetrator entered the Total Wireless shop located in the old Hua Cheng Restaurant at 41-19 Kissena Blvd., across the street from the Queens Public Library branch, just before 7 p.m. on Monday, May 5. He approached the counter, pulled out a firearm, and threatened the 27-year-old woman who was working the night shift, police said.

The suspect removed approximately $6,000 from the cash register and ran out of the storefront and was last seen running westbound on 41st Avenue toward Main Street, and he remains at large more than three weeks later, a police spokesman said Tuesday. The victim was not injured during the robbery at gunpoint.
