Horseshoe Building Is Planned for Ridgewood

Queens Crap nabbed DOB plans for 62-41 Forest Avenue, currently an empty parcel off Metropolitan Avenue in Ridgewood. There’s been some controversy in the planning stages of the development — the developer withdrew their plans from the BSA for a four-story, 30-unit building here, then ultimately received approval from the DOB for a 5-story, 44-unit building without showing the new plans to the BSA. The final development plans posted on the DOB website (and pictured above) are unique indeed. Queens Crap tries to clarify: “It’s a horseshoe-shaped building, but part of it is 4 stories and part of it is 5 stories, and the dividing line is diagonal, no less. I’m sorry if my description doesn’t do this pile of dung justice.” The design is by architect Gerry Caliendo so don’t expect too much from the facade, either.
