CB 10 Meeting 10/29 Rezoning for Developer
Do you remember there was a developer who wanted to put a hotel across the street from PS 104 on 91st Street and 5th Avenue?
Now that location is asking Community Board 10 if it can put 50 units in 9 floors.
This sounds like a SRO going in. (BTW, SRO’s were placed on some blocks in Bay Ridge and many don’t know it, so they keep asking for affordable housing when the area really needs senior housing.)
SRO stands for Single Room Occupancy – a very small apartment consisting of one room, a bathroom and a cooking area.
I don’t know what CB10 will be able to do here. We saw Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan override the Community Board’s decision before, so even if they made a decision to say, those two could just override again.
The nine stories is the developer stretching this area. The original plan for the hotel was supposed to be 6 floors and 65-feet tall. (See here) I hope the neighbors in the area of this building show up!
Hugs,
