Where the storefronts on Roosevelt Avenue are
Storefront vacancy across New York City
Source: NYC Department of Finance, Storefronts Reported Vacant or Not (Local Law 157), annual filings, pulled 2026-10-09. Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31. Counts are the storefronts whose owners typed Roosevelt Avenue in the registration, so a few with misspelled addresses are missing; each is placed in a neighborhood by its map point. The year before is shown only when both filings count about as many storefronts on the street. A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.

A storefront that stood vacant at the end of 2024 may since have leased, so walk the street too: many owners still put a sign in the window first.
