Permits have been filed to expand a 2-story residential building at 94-24 55th Ave. in Elmhurst into a 4-story building with six housing units.

The proposed expansion would create a building 44 feet tall that would yield 6,297 square feet of space. With an average unit scope of 1,049 square feet, the residences will most likely be condos.

Other planned features at the property include a cellar and a rear yard 78 feet long. The building is located within close proximity to P.S. 13Q Clement C. Moore, P721Q John F. Kennedy Jr. School, Magic Years Preschool and Nursery, the Newtown Playground, the Newtown High School Athletic Field and the Queens Center Shopping Mall. There are also several bus stops in the area for the Q29, Q38, Q72, QM10, QM11 and QM40 lines.

The applications for the expansion were submitted by Leonard Zheng of 9424 Holding LLC. The architect of record for this proposed project is listed as Xiaohong Zhao of Ameriland Brook LLC.

Demolition permits will almost certainly not be needed for the construction process, since the project calls for a vertical and horizontal expansion rather than the creation of a new building. An estimated completion date for the expansion has not yet been provided.

Op-ed | Justice for all delivery workers: It’s time to close the grocery pay gap

May. 15, 2025 By Rev. Dr. Phil Craig 

While one’s worth is not determined by an abundance of possessions, our faith teaches us that all workers deserve a just living. However, for many people in our communities, the way our laws are written are keeping them from enjoying equal pay for equal work. This is especially true for New Yorkers who support themselves and their families doing delivery work — and we stand alongside our lawmakers who are looking to change that.
