    This Brooklyn Neighborhood Is Cool — and Still Affordable by Adam Bonislawski September 26, 2018 | 7:14Pm | Updated

    In search of a larger apartment with character at an affordable price, Christina Poletto and son Theodore recently moved to Sunset Park. Annie Wermiel REAL ESTATE This Brooklyn neighborhood is cool — and still affordable By Adam Bonislawski September 26, 2018 | 7:14pm | Updated Nikki Grossman had her eye on Sunset Park for some time. Formerly a resident of the Lower East Side, Grossman moved to area rental building The Hamilton in June. She says she was drawn to the 98-unit development, which opened two years ago at 968 60th St., by its amenities (which include a fitness center, landscaped roof deck and screening room) and reasonable rents (studios from $2,200, one-bedrooms from $2,350). Though less hyped than other, more celebrated Brooklyn nabes, Sunset Park’s affordable prices and low-key vibe have been luring residents from other city spots and even other counties in the state. Take Christina Poletto, 42, and her 5-year-old son Theodore, who recently relocated to the neighborhood from Rockland County. For Grossman, who grew up in nearby Gravesend, it was also a repatriation of sorts. “I had been living in Manhattan just for proximity to work, but I had been wanting to come home,” says Grossman, 40, a nurse at New York University’s main hospital. “When I learned about [The Hamilton] and all its amenities, I was very interested.” Nikki Grossman moved into The Hamilton, one of the few Sunset Park buildings to boast amenities like a gym and a screening room. Annie Wermiel Little wonder — despite a wave of commercial development and a steadily rising profile, newly built, amenity-rich apartment buildings are still a rarity in Sunset Park.

The goal of the South Fourth Avenue Corridor Plan is to improve the existing conditions of the study area and to increase contributions to the City’s tax base, pedestrian activity and improved quality of life for local residents and employees. The Corridor Plan seeks to support a strategic plan to invest in physical and capital improvements in the area, as well as marketing opportunities, and retail attraction and retention strategies. As part of the planning process, a combination of community engagement as well as market and physical analyses were conducted by the Consultant to evaluate and propose economically-feasible strategies that will further enhance the corridor as a shopper and visitor destination.

    July 24, 2017 Public Notice Regarding Section 106 Review of Proposed Affordable Senior Housing Project at 6309 4th Avenue, Brooklyn NY Seeking Public Comment The City of New York-Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) is issuing this public notice as a part of its responsibilities under 36 CFR Part 800, the regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Section 106), as amended. Federal assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administered by HPD, is being sought to facilitate new construction and adaptive re-use intended to provide affordable senior housing (the “proposed project”) at 6309 4th Avenue (Brooklyn Block 5809, Lots 7, 10, and 11), an approximately 14,000 gross-square-foot (gsf) assemblage of privately owned property located in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn (the “project site”). The project sponsor, Fifth Avenue Committee (FAC), would be the recipient of the federal assistance through HPD. The project site contains the former Zion Norwegian Lutheran Church (the “church”), located at 6301-6305 4th Avenue; and associated former Parish Center (the “educational building”) to the south, located at 6307-6311 4th Avenue. Both the church and associated educational building are located on Lot 7 of Block 5809. The church is a contributing historic building within the Sunset Park Historic District, which is listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places (S/NR). The associated educational building on the same lot is not located within the boundaries of the Sunset Park Historic District, and has been determined not eligible for listing in the S/NR.
