Plate 12 of 102ManhattanManhattan Community Board 10

Central Harlem NCP 2

This site can hold about 45–55 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 64. The City's LIFT tracker lists 57 homes. That is more than the 55 homes the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) allows under current zoning on the lots shown here; qualifying senior housing, which the limit does not cover, could hold that many.

None of the City documents checked ties the tracker's 57 to these four lots. City Planning's 2021 approvals give 38 homes for them (7, 11, 10 and 10); 57 is HPD's 2021 figure for a six-site plan, three of whose sites are in this project.

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.

  • Four separate small lots on four blocks

    HPD groups four non-adjacent vacant lots as Central Harlem NCP 2: 2 East 130th Street, 2803 Frederick Douglass Boulevard, 203 West 135th Street and 61 West 130th Street. The first is in Community District 11 and the other three in Community District 10.

  • 2 E 130th St approved 2021 for seven homes (C 200277 HAM)

    On March 3, 2021 the City Planning Commission approved the designation and disposition of 2 East 130th Street to an HPD-selected developer for a four-story building with seven affordable homes (C 200277 HAM).

  • Three lots approved 2021 in a six-site plan (C 200278 HAM)

    On March 3, 2021 the City Planning Commission approved six Community District 10 sites for 58 affordable homes (C 200278 HAM). Three of them are in this project (11, 10 and 10 homes); HPD lists the other three under Central Harlem NCP 1.

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

    HPD's Local Law 125 report (August 2026) lists a disposition approval date of March 25, 2021 and shows the project as not closed, with the closing date 'To be determined'.

  • Companion NCP 1 sites closed in February 2026

    The same report lists Central Harlem NCP 1, which consists of the other three sites approved under C 200278 HAM and one further lot (Block 1847, Lot 13), as closed on February 28, 2026.

  • 2020 building applications disapproved at plan review

    New-building applications filed with the Department of Buildings in 2020 for 7, 11, 10 and 10 homes on the four lots were listed as 'plan exam - disapproved' in Department of Buildings data retrieved in September 2026, with the latest actions between 2022 and April 2025.

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

What binds first

Shape of some parcels

The site is 4 separate parcels. 2 of them fall under the screen for a practical building (18 ft of frontage, 40 ft of depth, 2,000 sq ft): block 1728 lot 9 (1,998 sq ft) and block 1754 lot 68 (16.7 ft of frontage, 1,665 sq ft). Their shape or size limits a building on those parcels before floor area does; on the others, floor area is the limit, and the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 55 homes.

What the neighborhood asked for

Manhattan Community Board 10's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests. It holds the largest share of the site's land; some lots are in Manhattan Community Board 11, whose requests are not shown here.

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 24% of the site (1,950 sq ft).

  • Caution

    2 of 4 parcels are narrow, shallow or small

    The site is 4 separate parcels. 2 of them fall under the screen for a practical building (18 ft of frontage, 40 ft of depth, 2,000 sq ft): block 1728 lot 9 (1,998 sq ft) and block 1754 lot 68 (16.7 ft of frontage, 1,665 sq ft).

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 4 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 4 lots and their area (8,161 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 29,848; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 39,038; community facility 47,219 sq ft), the homes (low 45, base 55, high 55), and the flags and what limits the site first.
