What City documents say

Facts from City documents that bear on the figures below. Each is quoted in the sources, and each speaks as of its document's date.

  • Existing City buildings on the lot, leased to a tenant

    The lot holds five older buildings with about 9,353 sq ft of floor space (built 1926, per MapPLUTO). The City's property inventory, updated May 2026, lists the lot as in use and leased out to a private tenant.

Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.

Base4027,750 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft
High5437,000 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 61, capped at 37,000 ÷ 680 (ZR 23-52)

Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.

Some figures are shown as a span because the Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition public data do not settle: qualifying residential site (R1 to R5), which depends on whether an existing building holds community facility space (MapPLUTO classes the land use as Public Facilities & Institutions, which points that way but does not show the floor space), or on whether the building contains qualifying senior housing (a program choice).

What binds first

Dwelling unit limit

The dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 54 homes, fewer than its floor area could hold at the smaller home sizes in the range. Floor area still limits the size of the building.

What the neighborhood asked for

Queens Community Board 12's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

Each quotation below was found word for word on the cited page by script. None reviewed by a person yet.

Housing the board asked for

  • HousingCapital request to Department of Housing Preservation & Development

    Reconstruct streets

    The board's title names another request type; it filed this with Department of Housing Preservation & Development as “Provide more housing for seniors”.

    “Fund (DOT) curbs on west side of 188th, 192, 193, 195th Streets; 195th Place; Jamaica Ave and Hillside Ave (Jamaica to 91st Ave); Southside of 91st Ave to 187th St.. Due to a high rate of foreclosures and a shortage of affordable housing for seniors, there is a need for additional housing for seniors.”

    FY2027 statement, p. 34 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThe request does not seem to be applicable to the Responsible Agency. OMB cannot make a determination at this time.

Other requests in these categories

  • LibrariesExpense request to Queens Borough Public Library

    Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs

    “Fund Additional Library Personnel for South Jamaica Branch. The new South Jamaica Branch at Guy Brewer Blvd. and 108th Ave. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 39 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseRestoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.

  • HealthCapital request to Health and Hospitals Corporation

    Provide a new or expanded health care facility

    “There is a need for a full scale, quality hospital in the district providing and meeting the needs of the community. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 33 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseFurther investigation is required. Contact the agency.

  • Open spaceCapital request to Department of Parks and Recreation

    Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)

    “requesting boating and concessions in Baisley Pond park - develop income streams in Baisley Pond Park.. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 33 · priority 1 of 3 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThis item is not eligible for Capital funding. OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Contact the agency.

3 other requests in these categories are listed on the web page.

What gets in the way

Flags are flags, not verdicts. Each comes from a public layer, named in the sources.

  • Caution

    (E) designation E-186

    An environmental requirement (hazardous materials) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Caution

    Floor area depends on a condition public data do not settle

    The Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition that public data do not settle here, so some figures are shown as a span. The note under the floor area figures says which condition, and why.

  • Caution

    The lot has buildings on it

    The lot has 5 buildings on record with 9,353 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1926 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). Zoning counts floor area already on a lot toward its maximum, so the figures above are the most the land could hold in total, not what could be added while those buildings stand.

  • Note

    Edge strip of stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    Only a strip along the edge of the site, nowhere 5 feet wide and 69 sq ft in all, shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.

Nearest subway station: Jamaica-179 St (F), 1.2 mi in a straight line.

What this doesn't account for

Public data and the zoning text answer the questions above. These need information that is not public, or a decision that belongs to the City.

  • Public land use review (ULURP). Selling or leasing City land, or approving a housing project on it, generally goes through ULURP (community board, borough president, City Planning Commission, City Council), and this estimate does not presume the outcome.
  • Disposition of City property (Charter 384 / UDAAP). Transferring the land needs Mayoral approval under Charter Sec. 384 and, for HPD projects, usually Urban Development Action Area designation and project approval under NY General Municipal Law Article 16.
  • Environmental review (CEQR/SEQRA). Any discretionary approval, disposition or City funding triggers CEQR/SEQRA review, which can require mitigation (e.g. for hazardous materials, noise or historic resources) or reshape the project.
  • (E) designations. A lot with an (E) designation or environmental restrictive declaration for hazardous materials, air quality or noise cannot receive building permits until the Office of Environmental Remediation signs off.
  • Subsurface and site conditions. Unknown soil, rock, groundwater and contamination can shrink or eliminate cellars and add foundation and cleanup costs, and HPD requires every project to investigate and, if needed, remediate contamination.
  • Deed restrictions and reverter clauses. Land the City bought or sold may carry deed restrictions or reverter clauses limiting its use, which must be checked in title records (ACRIS) and DCAS's deed-restriction database.
  • Parkland alienation. If a site is municipal parkland, it cannot be sold or used for housing without an act of the State Legislature signed by the Governor.
  • Current occupants, uses and agency plans. Many City-owned lots are in active use or assigned to an agency, or have funded capital projects, and this estimate does not reflect relocation needs or agency plans (check COLP and the Capital Commitment Plan).
  • Mapped streets, easements and utilities. Mapped-but-unbuilt ('paper') streets, sewer and water easements and utility lines can take land out of the buildable area, and no permit may be issued for a building in the bed of a mapped street.
  • Street access. A lot with no frontage on a mapped street cannot get a building permit on its own and must be combined with a neighboring lot or have access mapped.
  • Landmarks review. Sites that are individual landmarks or inside historic districts need Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, which can limit demolition, height and bulk.
  • Flood-resistant construction. Sites in the 1% annual chance floodplain (or the 0.2% shaded X-Zone for critical facilities) must meet Building Code Appendix G, whose elevation and floodproofing rules can cost usable ground-floor and cellar space.
  • Airport height limits. Near JFK, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett Field, zoning flight-obstruction surfaces cap building height, and tall structures anywhere need FAA notice.
  • State and federal funding conditions. Federal or State money brings its own requirements (e.g. HUD environmental review under 24 CFR Part 58, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Section 3 hiring) that can change cost, timing and program.
  • Zoning capacity is a ceiling, not a plan. The figures show what zoning allows, and actual HPD projects often build less, for example to fit neighborhood context, a community facility or funding limits.
