Plans Filed For a 7-Story Building in Rego Park

99-49 66th Avenue (house on the right)

Nov. 1, 2018 By Christian Murray

A two story house in Rego Park is about to get a whole lot bigger.

Plans have been filed for a “vertical and horizontal extension” of a two-family home located at 99-49 66th Ave. The plans call for the house to be converted into a 7-story, 18-unit building. They also include space for professional offices, which are classified as community facilities.

There would be 9 bicycle parking spots in the cellar and a garage for one vehicle.

The owner of the house, Song Dong, purchased the property in August for $2.65 million.

The property is about six blocks from the 67th Avenue M/R subway station.

LI Architect, based in Flushing, is the designer.

The subways are over capacity now, but the City keeps issuing permits for high rises which will increase congestion. I hope the nene residents will use the bicycle parking, and the bicycle path on Queens Blvd.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
