2-Story Commercial Building in Hunters Point to Be Demolished, Development Likely

10-28 47th Ave. (center). Via NYC ZoLa

Nov. 29, 2018 By Nathaly Pesantez

Plans have been filed to demolish a small commercial building in Hunters Point, between Vernon Boulevard and 11th Street, with a new development at the site likely.

Demolition plans were filed two days ago for the two-story, unassuming building at 10-28 47 Ave., home to the offices of Commercial Electrical Contractors, Inc.

The plans were filed by CEC itself, which owns the property, according to city records.

The business also owns the small parking lot adjacent to the building, which has its own address of 10-32 47 Ave.

Development plans for the building and parking lot sites remain unclear. No new building plans have been submitted, and CEC was unable to be reached for comment.

But a listing on City Realty, however, points to plans for a four-story, 10-unit condominium building at the site.

A rendering included in the listing shows a sleek building with red and black paneling.

It’s a business, with employees. Now they will leave our community, find another spot, again be upended, leave, etc. All the shallow commentary I read about the new building leaves out of consciousness, job loss, dislocation, and the integrity of our community. We are not bedrooms, rents. We are also skilled working men and women, and that Long island City works.

Op-Ed | Hochul: Action is Imperative on Shoplifting, but Violent Crime is Just Fine

Negotiations regarding the New York State budget have just concluded a few days ago and a budget has passed after more than two weeks of delays. But while Gov. Kathy Hochul has proclaimed this year’s ‘bold agenda’ aims to make New York ‘safer,’ there hasn’t been so much as a whisper about the safety issue New Yorkers actually care about – New York States’s dangerous bail reform laws and the State’s absence of a ‘dangerousness standard,’ which would allow judges to detain without bail those defendants that pose a present a clear and present danger to our communities. (The 49 other states and the federal government have a dangerousness standard. NY State is the only state that lacks this essential protection from the State’s most dangerous offenders.)
