Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a two-story, residential conversion into a four-story, residential development at 1315 Findlay Avenue in the Concourse section of The Bronx, south of Claremont Park, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East 169th and East 170th Streets, the lot is within walking distance of the 170th Street subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Leo Brody of ZLB is listed as the owner behind the applications.

According to YIMBY, the proposed 53-foot-tall development will yield 8,702 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 19 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 458 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 31-foot-long rear yard, and a penthouse.

Boaz M. Golani Architect is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits will likely not be needed since the two-story building at the site is part of the conversion. An estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
