Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) to expand an existing 2-story structure into a 5-story, residential building at 652 East 223rd Street in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.
Located between White Plains Road and Carpenter Avenue, the lot is two blocks south of the 225th Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Yitzi Salamon is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 55-foot tall development will yield 6,865 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 18 residential units with an average unit scope of 381 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, penthouse, a 30-foot long rear yard, and eight open parking spaces.
Alfred Mierzejewski of Al Fred Architecture is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing structure and an estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
