Project notes

162 Van Riper Avenue: Clifton approves a three-story, 14-unit building scaled down from 20 units

Clifton’s Zoning Board of Adjustment granted BMJR Realty, LLC site plan approval, a use variance and bulk variances on October 18, 2023 for a three-story, 14-unit apartment building with a rooftop terrace at 162 Van Riper Avenue (Block 7.09, Lot 4, RB2 zone). The application as advertised sought 20 units plus a parking variance, so the approval is smaller than first requested. Dominic Iannarella, Esq., represented the applicant. Sources: 1.
