Plate 16 of 102ManhattanManhattan Community Board 11

East Harlem Sites / A-East

This site can hold about 265–338 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 380. The City's LIFT tracker lists 700+ homes. That is more than the 338 homes the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) allows under current zoning on the lot under the tracker's map point; it is also more than the high estimate for qualifying senior housing, which the limit does not cover. The project's land may be larger than this lot.

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.

  • Harlem-East Harlem urban renewal plan controls apply

    This lot is part of Site 9 of the Harlem-East Harlem Urban Renewal Plan, whose controls apply alongside zoning, with the more restrictive governing. The plan limits building height to 210 feet within 100 feet of Second Avenue on this block and 150 feet elsewhere, and requires at least 2,500 sq ft of public open space on Site 9. A 2021 amendment (C 210067 HUM), shown as approved in City Planning's records, set the plan to remain in effect for 40 years from the amendment's approval.

  • Plan requires at least 700 homes across four sites

    The urban renewal plan requires Sites 8A, 9, 12 and 13A together (the East 125th Street Development blocks) to be developed with at least 700 homes, at least 30,000 sq ft of institutional space and no more than 770,000 sq ft of commercial space.

  • Part of the 2008 East 125th Street Development approvals

    In 2008 the City Planning Commission approved designating this block's City-owned land (then Block 1791, Lots 1, 25 and 34) for the East 125th Street Development (C 080331 HAM), together with an urban renewal plan amendment and a rezoning of the block to C6-3 (C 080333 ZMM).

  • Adjoining HPD lot from the 2008 approvals is not counted

    The 2008 approvals also covered 2469 Second Avenue (then Block 1791, Lot 25). MapPLUTO still records it as a separate HPD lot of 22,982 sq ft, zoned C6-3, sharing about 200 feet of lot line with this one. The figures here do not include it.

  • Lot outline is larger than the recorded lot area

    MapPLUTO records this lot (2461 Second Avenue) at 25,480 sq ft, but its drawn outline measures about 28,233 sq ft. The adjoining Lot 25 is the reverse: 22,982 sq ft recorded, about 20,584 sq ft drawn. The boundary between the two lots may have moved. The figures use the recorded area.

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 338 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 the neighborhood asked for

Manhattan Community Board 11'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.

Housing the board asked for

What gets in the way

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

  • Hazard

    In the 0.2% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)

    About 24% of the site (6,780 sq ft) is in the shaded X zone of FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains.

  • Caution

    Placed by the tracker's map point only

    The tracker gives one map point per project and no tax lots. This page covers the tax lot under that point, which may be only part of the project's land, or more than it. The figures are for the lot shown.

Nearest subway station: 125 St (4 5 6), 0.2 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 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 (25,480 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 191,610; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 229,830; community facility 254,800 sq ft), the homes (low 268, base 332, high 338), and the flags and what limits the site first.
