1337 Jerome Avenue

This site can hold about 60–78 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The top of that range is set by the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52); qualifying senior housing is exempt from it and could hold up to about 87. The City's LIFT tracker lists 50 homes.

HPD estimated in September 2026 about 48 homes under the current R8A zoning and about 60 with an R9A rezoning; none of the City documents checked gives 50.

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.

  • Vacant one-story building to be demolished

    The lot holds a vacant one-story commercial building, most recently a City pest control facility until 2013. HPD says it will be demolished for the new development (2026).

  • HPD exploring rezoning R8A to R9A (not yet filed)

    In September 2026 HPD said it is exploring a rezoning of the site from R8A to R9A through the expedited ELURP process, which it estimates would allow about 60 homes instead of about 48. As of September 25, 2026, the City's zoning application portal lists no application for the lot other than a disposition completed in 2014.

  • RFP to pre-qualified builders planned for fall 2026

    HPD plans to release a Request for Proposals to developers on its Neighborhood Builders pre-qualified list in fall 2026, for affordable homeownership under its Open Door program.

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

What binds first

Dwelling unit limit

The dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 78 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 gets in the way

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

  • Caution

    The lot has a building on it

    The lot has a building on record with 6,250 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1920 (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 that building stands.

  • Note

    In the Special Jerome Corridor District

    In R8A districts within 100 feet of a wide street and outside Mandatory Inclusionary Housing areas, the R8 wide-street floor area rules apply (7.20, or 8.64 with UAP or senior housing) instead of R8A's 6.02 and 7.20. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 23-22, 141-22).

  • Note

    Partly in a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    About 34% of the site is inside DCP's mapped Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area, where MIH options 1 and 3 apply: new housing on that part must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131). The rest of the site is outside it.

  • Note

    Rezoning under discussion

    1337 Jerome Avenue (HPD Neighborhood Builders Fast Track): possible rezoning R8A to R9A. HPD is exploring it; no application has been filed. The figures above use current zoning, not the proposed zoning.

Nearest subway station: 170 St (4), 540 ft 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.

Notes
On September 25, 2026, the MapPLUTO records and zoning district map behind this page were compared with DCP's live MapPLUTO (26v2) and zoning district layers for its lot; every compared field and district boundary matched. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced the lot area (6,516 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 44,293; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 53,099; community facility 42,354 sq ft), the homes (low 62, base 76, high 78), and the flags and what limits the site first.
