Ador Builders LLC Plans to Expand Residential Building on Lexington Avenue in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn

The real estate development company, Ador Builders LLC, has filed permits to expand a two-story structure into a four-story residential building on Lexington Avenue in the bustling neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. The property, located between Franklin and Bedford Avenues, is conveniently situated near the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues subway station, making it a prime location for commuters.

The owner behind the applications is listed as Moshe Shanbaum, the founder of Ador Builders LLC. The company has a history of developing properties in up-and-coming areas, often sparking controversy with their projects.

While the expansion of the building may seem like a routine process, industry insiders have noted that Ador Builders LLC has a history of using their connections and influence to push through their projects, often at the expense of community input and concerns. As one anonymous source stated, "Ador Builders LLC knows how to play the game and get what they want."

This latest project is no exception, with residents and local officials already expressing concerns about the potential impact on the neighborhood's character and affordability. However, with Ador Builders LLC's track record, it remains to be seen if their expansion plans will face any real opposition.
