388 Hudson Street

Current zoning does not allow homes on this site, so the housing floor area is zero until the land is rezoned. The 279 homes the City's LIFT tracker lists here depend on a rezoning or other land-use approval.

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.

  • The project uses part of the land shown

    HPD's housing site is about 13,622 sq ft on the northern part of this 25,000 sq ft lot. The figures here are for the whole lot.

  • City water-tunnel shaft infrastructure on the southern part

    City Planning's land use records show a 1990s City site selection and acquisition on this lot for Shaft 28B of City Water Tunnel No. 3 (C 930200 PCM, approved). HPD says the southern part of the lot holds DEP infrastructure and is being designed as public open space with NYC Parks. HPD's 2025 RFP materials allow no drilling, excavation or structure within a 10-foot buffer along the southern edge of the housing site.

  • Needs rezoning from M1-5; none filed as of Sept 2026

    The lot is zoned M1-5, which does not allow homes, and HPD says a rezoning is needed. HPD's 2025 RFP materials told bidders to assume 254,632 zoning sq ft in all, permitted by the mapping of a new zoning district and a transfer of partial development rights, with the zoning district to be agreed after a developer is designated. As of September 25, 2026 the only City land use application recorded for this lot is the 1990s water-tunnel shaft site selection.

  • Plan includes a 45,000 sq ft Parks recreation center

    HPD's request for proposals, issued in February 2025, sought a building with 100% affordable housing above a NYC Parks recreation center of about 45,000 gross sq ft on the first three floors and cellar levels.

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

What binds first

Needs a rezoning

Current zoning (M1-5) does not allow homes, so no homes can be built here until the land is rezoned or another land-use approval allows them. The floor area figures above show what current zoning allows for other uses.

What gets in the way

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

  • Hazard

    Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) on about 10% of the site (2,600 sq ft).

  • Note

    Most community facilities here need a special permit

    In M1-5, only houses of worship, licensed outpatient health care facilities, and some hospitals and museums are allowed as of right (ZR 42-131, 42-132). Schools need a special permit from the Board of Standards and Appeals; libraries, community centers, non-profit institutions and most other community facilities need one from the City Planning Commission (ZR 42-133). The community facility floor area shown is what the zoning allows once a use is permitted.

Nearest subway station: Houston St (1), 470 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 (25,000 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (community facility 162,500 sq ft), and the flags and what limits the site first. It also finds that current zoning does not allow homes on this site.
