Roosevelt 1A, an L-shaped 198-unit apartment complex near light rail, has partially demolished its site with two structures remaining. Once flagged for vacant-building violations, both cleared inspections in 2024, though construction financing continues to delay the project’s timeline.
Jenkins Properties is replacing the fire-damaged original Roosevelt Manor with a new 8-story, 131-unit building featuring commercial space and affordable units, targeting a 2027 opening. Construction began in 2026 following the previous building’s tragic 2024 fatal fire.
Brooklyn 1B, a 7-story, 77-unit affordable housing project near Roosevelt High School, will replace two derelict, fire-scarred houses at 1309 and 1311 NE 66th St that remain under city vacant-building monitoring despite years of demolition permits and safety violations.
