A stretch of Quincy Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant could soon give way to a new four-story residential building with 10 apartments, a cellar, and a penthouse. The site sits at 229 Quincy Street, between Bedford and Nostrand avenues, just blocks from the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues subway station served by the G train.
Permits for the project have been filed, according to New York YIMBY, which reports that the proposed building will rise 55 feet and use a concrete-based structure. The filings list Isaac Teitelbaum as the owner behind the applications, with the project yielding 9,164 square feet of residential space across the 10 planned homes.
Yoel Rozenberg is listed as architect of record for the development, per the same filings. With an average unit size of roughly 916 square feet, the outlet's report concludes the residences are likely to be rentals rather than condos, though that assessment is based on unit size alone rather than any confirmed leasing plan.
No Timeline or Demolition Filed Yet
No estimated completion date has been announced for the Quincy Street project, and the available permit records do not show that demolition permits have been filed for the site. That leaves the exact construction schedule, along with details like project cost or rental pricing, unresolved for now.
The Quincy Street filing arrives amid a steady churn of small-scale residential construction across Bedford-Stuyvesant. Earlier this year, New York YIMBY reported permits filed for a similarly sized four-story building at 81 Patchen Avenue. That project, like the one planned for Quincy Street, reflects the kind of modest, multi-unit infill that has become common on the neighborhood's residential blocks.
A Street With a History of New Construction
Quincy Street itself has seen several similar filings over the years. Back in 2020, the outlet detailed permits for a four-story building at 197 Quincy Street, and in 2017 it reported on a 10-unit rental development with four duplex units planned for 459 Quincy Street. More recently, Marketproof reported a four-story, five-unit building proposed for 606 Quincy Street at 44 feet tall with 7,092 square feet, and a larger seven-story, 49-unit project planned for 880 Quincy Street at 70 feet with 10,462 square feet.
Citywide, the pace of new filings has remained brisk. New York YIMBY's own second-quarter report for 2026 tracked 903 new building permit filings, underscoring how common projects like the one proposed for 229 Quincy Street have become across the five boroughs. Broader permit data for the borough is also tracked through the city's own records, including the NYC Open Data Brooklyn Permits dataset.
No developer statement, community board response, or neighborhood reaction has been made public regarding the Quincy Street proposal. For now, the project remains in the permitting stage, with construction timing, pricing, and final unit layouts still undetermined.
