Kingsborough Houses (CAMBA, 1733 Bergen Street)

The whole tax lot can hold about 285–363 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing. The project uses only part of it. 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 407. The City's LIFT tracker lists 244 homes, in two records for the same project.

The tracker lists this project twice, with the same home count, on the same tax lot. The figures are for the lot, counted once.

  • Camba. 1733 Bergen. Kingsborough RFP: 244 homes, Post Public Approval The 244 matches the November 2025 new-building filing for 1755 Bergen Street. The tracker lists this building twice, under HPD and under NYCHA; it is one 244-home building.

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.

  • The project uses part of the land shown

    The new building goes on a vacant part of this lot about 220 by 115 ft (about 25,300 sq ft), to be split off as its own tax lot and leased to the developer. The figures here are for the whole 63,254 sq ft lot, including the existing NYCHA building.

  • Occupied 184-home NYCHA building stays on the lot

    The lot already holds NYCHA's Kingsborough Houses Extension, which a May 2026 Buildings Department filing lists with 184 homes. The new building goes on a vacant, landscaped part of the same lot.

  • New tax lot 180 filed for the building

    A November 2025 new-building application for 1755 Bergen Street names Block 1344, Lot 180. That lot is not yet on the City's tax lot map data, so figures here still describe the whole of Lot 175.

  • Needs HUD Section 18 approval and mayoral zoning overrides

    As of June 2024 the project needed NYCHA board and HUD Section 18 approval to dispose of public housing land, plus mayoral zoning overrides requested by NYCHA, so its size is not set by standard zoning alone.

  • Zoning section 23-06 applies to HUD Section 18 sites

    Zoning Resolution section 23-06 applies in R6 districts on zoning lots whose disposition needs HUD Section 18 approval. Its height and setback rules cover new homes other than qualifying senior housing.

  • Older adult center at the existing building's address

    A June 2026 NYC Aging contract notice lists 447 Kingsborough 4th Walk, the address of the existing building on this lot, as an older adult center site.

  • Same project is listed twice in the tracker

    The tracker lists this 244-home senior building once under HPD and once under NYCHA; the 2020 request for proposals was issued jointly by NYCHA and HPD.

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 363 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

Brooklyn Community Board 8's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

What gets in the way

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

  • Caution

    A HUD Section 18 site would have lower floor area

    NYCHA owns block 1344 lot 175, zoned R6. If selling or leasing it for development needs HUD approval under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937, ZR 23-06 applies. Its existing 25-story building is taller than R6 allows for standard residences (75 ft at most, ZR 23-432), so new homes would have to follow the sky exposure plane rules, whose floor area ratio of at most 2.43 (about 153,707 sq ft on this lot) applies to affordable housing too (ZR 23-732). Qualifying senior housing and MIH developments on MIH sites are exempt. The figures above do not apply this.

  • Caution

    Owned by NYCHA, not the City

    MapPLUTO records this lot under the New York City Housing Authority (owner recorded as “NYC HOUSING AUTHORITY”), a public authority, not the City.

  • Caution

    The lot has buildings on it

    The lot has 2 buildings on record with 129,082 sq ft of gross building area and 184 homes, completed around 1950 (MapPLUTO; gross area includes space zoning does not count). A June 2024 archaeological study for the project, filed with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, says NYCHA's Kingsborough Houses Extension campus was constructed on this lot in 1965. 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 those buildings stand.

  • Note

    An optional building form allows a little more

    Beyond 100 feet of a wide street in R6, ZR 23-22 allows standard residences 2.20 FAR. A building using the optional sky exposure plane rules (ZR 23-73) may reach up to 2.43 FAR, depending on how tall it is and how much open space it keeps, but that ratio then applies to all its homes, affordable ones included, so the affordable figure does not rise.

Nearest subway station: Ralph Av (C), 0.3 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.
