Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) to expand a 2-story structure into a 4-story residential building at 2316 Grand Avenue in the University Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

 

Located between North Street and West 184th Street, the lot is within walking distance of the 183rd Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Yitzi Salamon is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to the filing.

 

The proposed 55-foot-tall development will yield 7,272 square feet designated for residential space. The building will yield 15 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 484 square feet, according to reporting by YIMBY. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, penthouse, and a 30-foot-long rear yard.

 

Chun Engineering Consultant is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the project calls for a vertical expansion. An estimated completion date for the amended structure has not yet been announced.
