Permits have been filed for the construction of a 4-story residential building featuring seven housing units at 88-40 54th Ave. in Elmhurst.

The proposed building would be 40 feet tall and yield 4,913 square feet of space. With an average unit scope of 701 square feet, the seven residences will most likely be rentals.

Other planned features of the property include a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard. The Grand Avenue-Newtown and the Woodhaven Boulevard subway stations, which each service the E, F, M, and R trains, are located within close proximity to 88-40 54th Ave. There are also bus stops in the area for the Q29, Q38, Q58, Q59, Q60, and Q72 lines.

In addition to the train stations and bus stops, some of the other notable features nearby include the Queens Center Mall, Hoffman Park the Newtown Playground, P.S. 102 Bayview, P721Q The John F. Kennedy Jr. School and P.S. 13Q Clement C. Moore.

The applications for this proposed project were submitted by Rihong Zhang of 54-8840 LLC. The architect of record is listed as Dezhang Fang of Fang Architect.

Demolition permits were filed in October 2024 to knock down the current structure at 88-40 54th Ave. An estimated completion date for the construction of the new building has not yet been provided.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
