Permit filed for 40-unit building in Tremont, The Bronx

Built World New York, NY local

Six-story mixed-use project would replace a 1920 house near the Tremont Avenue B and D station

Today: YIMBY reports permit filing

Overview

Updated 42 minutes ago

A two-story house built in 1920 at 1846 Washington Avenue in Tremont, The Bronx, would be replaced by a six-story building with 40 apartments under a permit filed this month. The project would include 24,108 square feet of residential space and 709 square feet of commercial space, according to the filing.

The permit is an early step. No completion date has been announced, and the existing house still needs to come down. The filing matters because it shows a small rental project moving through the city's approval process near a B and D train station.

Why it matters

The filing would add 40 proposed rentals near a B and D station in the Bronx, if the permit clears and construction starts.
