Permits have been filed for the construction of a new 9-story residential building at 34-20 38th St. in Astoria.

The proposed building would be 95 feet tall and yield 63,880 square feet of residential space across 89 units. With an average unit scope of 717 square feet, these residences will most likely be rentals.

In addition to the residential units, the proposed development would also feature a cellar, a 34-foot-long rear yard and 29 total parking spaces, 17 of which would be open and 12 enclosed. The Steinway Street subway station, which services the M and R trains, is also located near the property.

Applications for work on this property, located between 34th Avenue and 35th Avenue, were submitted by Mordechai Schwimmer of 1605 NY Realty LLC. The architect of record is S. Wieder Architect.

A 2-story residential building currently occupies the site. Demolition permits were filed earlier in January 2025 to knock down that building so the proposed one can take its place. An estimated date for completion of the construction of the new building has not yet been announced.

Pheffer Amato reminds constituent families of free meals, distraction-free learning policies for new school year

As students head back to school, Assemblymember Stacey Pheffer Amato is reminding families in her district of two major changes: every child will be eligible for free school meals, and mobile phones and smart devices will no longer be allowed during the school day.

The implementation of universal free meals for all schools, including nonpublic and charter schools, has been a focus for Pheffer Amato for years. During the 2025 New York State budget, she worked on the issue to ensure the state would give every school district, including New York City, the resources to make universal free meals a reality. Now, free breakfast and lunch will be provided to all school-aged children at all schools participating in the national school lunch and breakfast program, guaranteeing that every child will be eligible for health and nutritious meals.
