Plate 82 of 102QueensQueens Community Board 2

Hunters Point South Parcel D

This site can hold about 900–1,133 homes under the standard zoning maximum. 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 1,274. The City's LIFT tracker lists 846 homes.

None of the City documents checked gives 846 homes for Parcel D; the Council's 2018 approval gives about 4,076 homes across all the Hunters Point South parcels.

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.

  • Part of the 2018 Hunters Point South UDAAP

    On October 31, 2018 the City Council approved an Urban Development Action Area Project for Hunters Point South (Resolution 590-2018) covering Block 6, Lots 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 130, 160 and 165, for about 4,076 homes in total across the parcels.

  • Lot is used for outdoor equipment storage

    The City's property inventory, updated May 2026, lists this lot's use as outdoor equipment storage. HPD's June 2025 Parcel E request for proposals described Parcel D as a vacant City-owned lot to be developed in the future.

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

What binds first

Flood hazard

All of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules. Flood-resistant construction shapes the ground floor and can reduce usable floor area.

What gets in the way

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

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (2015 preliminary map)

    All of the site is in FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map 1% annual chance floodplain (zone AE). NYC uses this map for flood-resistant construction rules.

  • Hazard

    In the 1% annual chance floodplain (effective 2007 map)

    All of the site is in the 1% annual chance floodplain on FEMA's effective 2007 Flood Insurance Rate Map, which flood insurance still uses (MapPLUTO flags it too).

  • Hazard

    Stormwater flooding in a moderate storm (2050s)

    DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (moderate stormwater flood with 2050 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) on about 3% of the site (2,060 sq ft).

  • Hazard

    Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows flooding on about 85% of the site (61,800 sq ft), nearly all of it nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and future high tides.

  • 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.

  • Note

    Drawn lots take in mapped streets

    The outlines take in about 10,710 sq ft of mapped street beds. Outside them, the outlines come to about 62,145 sq ft, within 4% of the recorded lot area of 64,242 sq ft that the figures use.

  • Note

    In the Special Southern Hunters Point District

    Sets the standard residential FAR for each East River parcel (12.0 on Parcels A, D, E and G); the affordable FAR is given only for Parcels B, C and F, so on D and E the R10 affordable figure of 12.0 applies. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 125-21).

Nearest subway station: Vernon Blvd-Jackson Av (7), 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 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 (64,242 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 770,904; community facility 642,420 sq ft), the homes (low 900, base 1,115, high 1,133), and the flags and what limits the site first.
