Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for “a vertical and horizontal enlargement” of a 2-story structure into a 4-story residential building at 51 West 174th Street in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.
Located between Macombs Road and Grand Avenue, the lot is a 5-minute walk to the 176th Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Yitzi Salamon is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 55-foot-tall development will yield 13,179 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 25 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 527 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, penthouse, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and eight open parking spaces.
Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the project calls for an expansion, and an estimated completion date has not yet been announced.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
