Development continues in Long Island City, as plans have recently been filed for a four-story building on Vernon Boulevard.

The plans, filed with the Department of Buildings on Dec. 5, call for 15-unit development at 47-01 Vernon Blvd., the current site of a one-story brick building.

The new building would span roughly 15,000 square feet, and includes space for two retail shops at the ground floor.

A small recreation space is also planned for the building’s second floor. One of the top floor apartments, meanwhile, will have access to a rooftop terrace.

The new building plans follow demolition filings put through for the current building back in October. The nondescript building, in a lot that includes parking space, had been occupied by Charge and Ride, a limo and car service company, for several decades.

47-01 Vernon Blvd. property parameters.

The new property’s developer is listed as Circle F Capital, a large firm based in Manhattan and behind several developments in the area, including the 11-story condo by the Court Square Diner and another condo project at 5-33 48th Ave.

The developer purchased the property last month for just over $6 million, records show.

Circle F Capital did not immediately respond to questions about the development’s timeline.

Queens gun buyback takes 74 firearms off streets, including ghost guns and assault weapons: DA

Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday that 74 firearms were taken off the streets at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica during a gun buyback event on Saturday, June 14. The weapons were exchanged for bank cards pre-loaded with cash, with no identification required and no questions asked.

“Gun buybacks serve as a critical tool for reducing gun violence and promoting public safety within our communities,” Katz said. “This Saturday, working with the NYPD and clergy leaders in Jamaica, we received 74 surrendered guns — including five automatic weapons.
