June 1, 2015 Staff Report

Plans have been filed for a 14-story, 48-unit residential building to go up at 45-24 Vernon Blvd, according to Department of Building records.

The site is currently a one-story manufacturing facility located on the same block as the beaten–up old Paragon Paint building.

The owner has yet to file plans to demolish the existing 12,000 square foot building.

The development will be 52,000 square feet with roughly 4,570-square-feet to be used for ground floor retail. The remainder will be for residential use.

It is unknown if the apartments will be rentals or condos.

I thought Vernon wasn’t zoned for buildings this tall. Can someone please explain how it is indeed zoned if this building is being allowed?

Yet another residential building going up yet barely any space for commercial stuff. Soon enough this neighborhood will be nothing but apartment buildings and the people in them will be wondering where their goods and services are, where their grocery stores and walk-in clinics are, etc.

Would love to hear some news sometime about new businesses or commercial things opening up, instead of yet another overpriced building.

ha!

i think that’s why people would rather pay top dollar in Willyburg and Greenpoint than shelve out top dollar in LIC to have virtually nothing to do here.

i don’t even know where there’s some place with a pool table, or somewhere to buy socks

currently i’m working on bringing some new food retail to the area with my clients, but they too see a downside with such high concentration of residential developments and little retail offerings in the area

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
