Follow on Google News | Rocco Basile: Basile Builders making strides in BrooklynCentury-old, Victorian style homes in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn have recently been turning heads.
By: Barbara Klein “It’s about time,” said Victoria Hofmo, who heads the Bay Ridge Conservancy, when she heard that news. According to city records, the historic properties were sold to Carmela Basile, two of them at nearly a million dollars each. Records show that the Basile Builders Group — who have completed four condominium complexes in Brooklyn, including two in Bay Ridge —bought three contiguous properties at 318, 326 and 334 74th St. The condo builders, whose office is on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, said they have a different plan this time around. “We’re restoring the Victorian homes,” said Rocco Basile. In 2005, Bay Ridge underwent large-scale rezoning to preserve its traditional, architectural flavor. Current zoning on each of the lots allows for a multiple-family structure, with a maximum height of 33 feet, or a three-story building, as modified during the 2005 rezoning in Bay Ridge. The three lots together contain 16,200 square feet of usable space, according to propertyshark.com. For more info: http://www.roccobasileinfo.com End
