This site can hold about 60–80 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable or senior housing. The City's LIFT tracker lists 120. That is more than current zoning allows on the lots shown here, which can reflect lots not shown or a rezoning; this page uses current zoning only.
- Index entry
- Tracker status: Post Public Approval
- Lead agency: HPD
Block 1205, lot 14Tax lots from MapPLUTO; street names from the Digital City Map. Pink: this site. Hatched: other City-owned lots. Heavy lines: block edges.
What can legally go here
Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.
- Lot area
- 10,700 sq ft
- Zoning district
- R7A, R6A
- Maximum residential floor area
- 41,785 sq ft9,684.6 sq ft R7A × 4.00 + 1,015.4 sq ft R6A × 3.00
- With qualifying affordable or senior housing
- 52,480 sq ft9,684.6 sq ft R7A × 5.01 + 1,015.4 sq ft R6A × 3.90
- Maximum community facility floor area
- 41,785 sq ft9,684.6 sq ft R7A × 4.00 + 1,015.4 sq ft R6A × 3.00
Homes, as a range
| Case | Homes | How |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 61 | 52,480 sq ft × 0.7 ÷ 599 sq ft |
| Base | 75 | 52,480 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft |
| High | 77 | 52,480 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 86, capped at 52,480 ÷ 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.
What binds first
Split zoning
The site lies in more than one zoning district (R6A and R7A). Floor area is computed portion by portion. The district boundary shapes what can go where.
What the neighborhood asked for
Brooklyn Community Board 8'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.
Could share a building with housing on this lot
Matched by a declared table of uses that commonly occupy the ground floor of an apartment building. A possibility, not a recommendation.
Increase resources for youth crime prevention programs
“There is certainty that kids without productive and stimulating activities will engage in illegal activities not out of malice, but rather out of boredom. …”
FY2027 statement, p. 59 · priority 5 of 5 within the agency · awaiting a person's review
ResponseThis request has already been completed. Explanation: DYCD funds three community centers in the district in addition to 2 Saturday Night Lights sports programs and many COMPASS afterschool programs.
Housing the board asked for
Provide more housing for special needs households, such as the formerly homeless
“Seniors, the disabled, and homeless singles not in need of supportive services are often left out of housing conversations and forced to compete for scant …”
FY2027 statement, p. 46 · priority 2 of 2 within the agency · awaiting a person's review
ResponseThe Executive Budget includes a city-wide allocation for this work. Specific locations are determined by the Agency.
Other requests in these categories
Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs
“We urge the restoration of funds to the Brooklyn Public Library system. In addition, encourage an increased budget for library operations, hours, and services so …”
FY2027 statement, p. 50 · priority 1 of 2 within the agency · awaiting a person's review
ResponseThis request has already been funded.
Greater funding for book and digital library purchases
“Brooklyn Public Library and the greater library system across the city is a gem and cultural and recreational necessity. …”
FY2027 statement, p. 51 · priority 2 of 2 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.
Dog run/park
“Create a dog park/run in District 8. As more and more people become pet owners, they need a place to take their pets for socializing …”
FY2027 statement, p. 45 · priority 22 of 22 within the agency · awaiting a person's review
ResponseThe agency recommends funding this budget request, but at this time the availability of funds is uncertain. OMB supports the agency's position.
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-810
An environmental requirement (hazardous materials and noise) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.
- Caution
May cover only part of the project
The tracker gives one point per project and no tax lots. This page covers the lot under that point; the project may include more lots, so figures may understate it.
- Caution
Not recorded as City-owned
MapPLUTO does not code this site as City-owned (owner: Promesa Residential Health Care Facility , Inc.). The City may control it another way, or the tracker point may sit on a neighboring lot.
- Caution
Split zoning
The site lies in more than one zoning district (R6A and R7A). Floor area is computed portion by portion.
- Note
In a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area
MIH option 1 applies, so new housing here must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131).
- Note
In the Special Atlantic Avenue Mixed Use District
Keeps the maximum FAR for each use and only caps the total FAR of mixed residential and non-residential buildings in M1A pairings (5.0 in M1-2A/R6A); a public plaza bonus needs a CPC authorization. It does not change the floor area figures above.
Nearest subway station: Franklin Av (C S), 0.2 mi in a straight line.
What this doesn't account for
This page shows what public data and the zoning text can tell us. These questions need information that isn't public, or a decision that isn't ours.
- 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.
