New York-based real estate law firm Rosenberg & Estis P.C. has secured rezoning approval for Agudist Council of Greater New York, a Brooklyn congregation, to rehabilitate its synagogue and senior center at 817 Avenue H in Kensington, Brooklyn. The site has been owned and operated by the Agudist Council since 1975.

The project will create 42 apartments and a revenue stream to support the long-term future of the synagogue, senior center, and other work of the Agudist Council. Rosenberg & Estis land use and zoning attorneys are known for their work in obtaining approvals for rezonings, special permits, and variances from city agencies.

David J. Rosenberg, Counsel at Rosenberg & Estis, represented the Agudist Council in the application process. The rezoning was one of three recently approved by the City Council that is expected to create over 300 apartments in Brooklyn. The city is currently advancing its City of Yes for Housing Opportunity proposal to address the housing crisis through various zoning changes.

We are pleased to have secured another successful outcome that benefits both our client and the city as it continues to advocate for more robust housing development, Rosenberg said. This development will create an important revenue stream that ensures the long-term future of the synagogue, senior center, and other important work of the organization, while also creating much needed, family-sized housing units.

At this time, neither renderings nor project details such as planned building amenities have been released. The property is located a short walk from the F and Q trains at the 18th Avenue and Avenue H subway stations.
