Plate 72 of 102BrooklynBrooklyn Community Board 16

Brownsville NCP

This site can hold about 65–85 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 97. The City's LIFT tracker lists 61 homes.

The tracker's 61 is the approved plan's about 60 affordable homes plus a superintendent's unit (City Planning Commission, January 2025). HPD's April 2025 notice allows up to 74 homes plus a superintendent's unit, and the March 2026 building applications list 84.

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.

  • Three separate vacant sites in Brownsville

    The project is three non-adjacent vacant City-owned sites: 425 Mother Gaston Boulevard, 546 Thomas S. Boyland Street and 1733-1735 Saint Mark's Avenue (three lots), in Brooklyn Community District 16 (City Planning Commission, January 2025).

  • Approved 2025: disposition and St. Marks Ave rezoning

    On January 22, 2025 the City Planning Commission approved the disposition of the three sites to an HPD-selected developer (C 250036 HAK) and a rezoning of the area around the Saint Mark's Avenue site from M1-1 to R7A/C2-4 (C 250037 ZMK). HPD lists April 24, 2025 as the disposition approval date.

  • Boyland St lot's urban renewal plan expired in 2008

    The City Planning Commission's January 2025 report states that the 546 Thomas S. Boyland Street lot was Site 12B of the Marcus Garvey Urban Renewal Plan, which was approved in 1968 and expired in 2008.

  • Not yet closed as of HPD's August 2026 report

    HPD's Local Law 125 report (August 2026) lists a disposition approval date of April 24, 2025, shows the project as not closed, and gives FY27 as the closing date.

  • 2026 building applications list 84 homes

    New-building applications filed with the Department of Buildings in March 2026 propose 11 homes at 425 Mother Gaston Boulevard, 25 at Thomas S. Boyland Street and 48 at 1733 Saint Marks Avenue (filed under lot 65); all three showed objections in Department of Buildings data retrieved in September 2026.

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

What binds first

Split zoning (needs a closer read)

3 lots are divided between zoning districts (M1-1 and R7A), each covering at least a tenth of each lot. Floor area is computed portion by portion. Where the district line falls on the lot shapes what can go where, so the figures above deserve a closer read against the zoning map.

What the neighborhood asked for

Brooklyn Community Board 16's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

What gets in the way

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

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    3 lots are divided between zoning districts (M1-1 and R7A), each covering at least a tenth of each lot. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Note

    Partly in a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    About 43% 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.

Nearest subway station: Atlantic Av (L), 0.4 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.

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 all 5 of its lots; 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 5 lots and their area (15,058 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 45,947; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 58,760; community facility 64,718 sq ft), the homes (low 68, base 84, high 85), and the flags and what limits the site first.
