The two buildings will be located at 88-30 and 88-34 54th Ave. and will each have seven residential units.

Each structure will be equipped with a duplex, two-car garage, a laundry room and storage. Both buildings will have about 4,930 square feet for residential use, equating to about 700 square feet per unit.

Demolition permits for the existing houses have been filed.
