Seven-Story, 150-Unit Complex Planned for Roosevelt Avenue

June 11, 2018 By Tara Law

Building permits were filed Friday for a 7-story mixed-use building on Roosevelt Avenue.

The building, proposed for 91-09 Roosevelt Ave., will feature ground floor commercial space, community facilities–such as doctors offices– on the second floor, as well as 150 apartments on floors 3 through 7.

The plan, filed Friday, includes space for 100 parking spaces in the cellar. Residents of the building will have access to a laundry room and bicycle parking on third floor.

The 91,463 square foot building will offer 59,167 square feet of residential space, 16,900 square feet of community facility space and 15,396 square feet of commercial space.

The property owner is listed as Ron Cohen of Mastic Management LLC. Mastic Management, which purchased the property for $12 million in 2016. The location was previously owned by Cumberland Farms, a convenience store company.

The property is currently occupied by an auto repair shop. Mastic filed demolition permits for the existing building in July 2016.

The location is a block from the 90th Street- Elmhurst Avenue (7) subway station.

Didn’t they get rejected? There is no infrastructure to support building such large apartment buildings in the area. 7 train is full by the time it gets to 90th St already! Someone took money under the table!

Cumberland Farms sold this guy a bill of goods. The remidiation required on a gas station and buried tanks means they have to dig out the tanks and remove all the soil in the property area and import new soil. This property has been used as a gas station for decades. I wouldn’t want to leave in the apartments above it as the chemicals can offgas into the apartments for decades. They redeveloped the gas station on 87th and Northern and it took them three years to build it out.

Two men sought for swastika vandalism case at Elmhurst Educational Campus: NYPD

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is now searching for two vandals who scrawled a swastika on the front of the Elmhurst Educational Campus just south of the Long Island Rail Road tracks back in September.

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst reported that on the night of Friday, Sept. 20, two unidentified men drew the swastika on the front of 45-20 94th Street at around 9 p.m. The campus was created in an abandoned former manufacturing warehouse that was converted and is now home to four high schools serving over 1,600 students, including a District 75 special needs school.
