Essex Phase 9

This site can hold about 130–185 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The City's LIFT tracker lists 99 homes.

The tracker's 99 matches a March 2026 new-building filing for a 10-story building at 100 Essex Street.

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.

  • 1939 former market building on the lot; demolition filed

    The lot holds a one-story building from 1939, one of the original Essex Street Market buildings. In March 2026 NYCEDC filed with the Department of Buildings to demolish it; the filing showed objections as of April 2026.

  • In 2012 Seward Park plan but outside its large-scale permit

    The City approved this lot as Site 9 of the Seward Park (Essex Crossing) plan in 2012, including an Urban Development Action Area designation. Unlike Sites 1 to 6, it is outside the large-scale general development, so the underlying zoning governs its bulk.

  • Building filing proposes 10 stories and 99 homes

    A new-building application filed with the Department of Buildings on March 19, 2026 proposes a 10-story mixed-use building with 99 homes at 100 Essex Street on this lot. It showed objections as of April 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)

The lot is divided between zoning districts (C4-4A and C6-2A), each covering at least a tenth of it. 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 gets in the way

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

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    The lot is divided between zoning districts (C4-4A and C6-2A), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Caution

    The lot has a building on it

    The lot has a building on record with 20,616 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1939 (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

    Edge strip of stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    Only a strip along the edge of the site, nowhere 5 feet wide and 120 sq ft in all, shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.

Nearest subway station: Delancey St-Essex St (F J M Z), 230 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.

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 (20,365 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 90,308; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 111,622; community facility 92,411 sq ft), the homes (low 130, base 161, high 184), and the flags and what limits the site first.
