Fulton-Howard West (Bed-Stuy MSC)

A vacant HPD lot on Fulton Street is not counted here

HPD's 2020 request for proposals names the Fulton Street land as Block 1548, Lots 26-29 and 129. The City's current tax lot data have no Lot 129. The vacant lot between Lots 28 and 29 is Lot 128 (1968 Fulton Street, 2,000 sq ft), which MapPLUTO and City Register records show as HPD's; none of the planning documents names it. It is left out of the figures, which would be about 2,000 sq ft of land larger with it.

This site can hold about 245–312 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 351. The City's LIFT tracker lists 250-400 homes. The top of that range is more than the 312 homes the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) allows under current zoning on the lots shown here; it is also more than the high estimate for qualifying senior housing, which the limit does not cover.

None of the City documents checked gives the tracker's 250 to 400 homes; the May 2026 announcement says only that the project will deliver hundreds of affordable homes.

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.

  • Operating Multi-Service Center stays open until construction

    The site includes the Bedford-Stuyvesant Multi-Service Center at 1958 Fulton Street, where organizations provide homelessness prevention, education, arts and mentorship programs. In May 2026 the City said these services will keep operating until construction begins and the organizations will later move into new space in the completed development.

  • Former P.S. 28 school building is on the site

    The Multi-Service Center occupies the former P.S. 28 school building, with an adjacent track and open space; the City describes the building as in significant disrepair. The May 2026 announcement does not say whether the building will be kept or replaced.

  • Early planning: engagement under way, no RFP yet

    In May 2026 HPD and HRA began community engagement to inform a future request for proposals; the announcement named no developer or building program.

  • HPD's vacant Fulton Street lots are part of the site

    HPD's 2020 Bedford-Stuyvesant request for proposals listed land on Fulton Street just west of Howard Avenue (Block 1548, Lots 26-29 and 129) as a future RFP site. The 2020 Bedford-Stuyvesant Housing Plan, appended to that request, said HPD owned a site next to the Multi-Service Center and that HPD and HRA were exploring developing the two together. The 2026 announcement includes the neighboring vacant City-owned land.

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)

One lot is divided between zoning districts (R6B and R7D), 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 the neighborhood asked for

Brooklyn Community Board 3'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.

What gets in the way

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

  • Caution

    (E) designation E-185

    On lot 26, lot 27, lot 28 and lot 29 (4 of the 5 lots), an environmental requirement (hazardous materials and noise) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Caution

    1 of 5 lots has a building on it

    Block 1548 lot 19 has a building on record with 150,000 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1912 (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.

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    One lot is divided between zoning districts (R6B and R7D), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

Nearest subway station: Ralph Av (C), 290 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 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 (58,000 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 176,772; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 212,309; community facility 176,772 sq ft), the homes (low 248, base 307, high 312), and the flags and what limits the site first.
