Permits have been filed to demolish three commercial buildings in Long Island City, across the Queensbridge Houses North.

Located at 10-03 40th Ave., 10-05 40th Ave., and 10-07 40th Ave., each of these buildings is two stories high. All three buildings are 23 feet tall and cover 1,547 square feet. Much of this area had previously been occupied by a deli.
