La Ostra (Inwood 9th Ave)

This site can hold about 215–430 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable or senior housing. The City's LIFT tracker lists 625. That is more than current zoning allows on the lots shown here, which can reflect lots not shown or a rezoning; this page uses current zoning only.

Some figures are shown as a span because the Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on conditions we could not settle from public data: zoning lot that is not a shoreline adjacent lot (Special Inwood District), which depends on how the zoning lot is assembled: a lot on the Harlem River, or merged with one, is a shoreline adjacent lot and keeps the higher figure; on a waterfront block, which depends on a case review under ZR 62-11, since the tax block reaches the shoreline.

What binds first

Split zoning

The site lies in more than one zoning district (C6-2 and M1-4). Floor area is computed portion by portion. The district boundary shapes what can go where.

What the neighborhood 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)

    Part of the site is in the shaded X zone of FEMA's 2015 Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map, between the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains.

  • Hazard

    Stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)

    DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise) shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and deep and contiguous flooding (1 ft or more) on part of the site.

  • Caution

    Floor area depends on a condition we could not settle

    The Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on conditions public data does not settle here (zoning lot that is not a shoreline adjacent lot (Special Inwood District); on a waterfront block), so the figures show the span. The reasons are given under the floor area figures.

  • Caution

    May cover only part of the project

    The tracker gives one point per project and no tax lots. This page covers the lot under that point; the project may include more lots, so figures may understate it.

  • Caution

    Split zoning

    The site lies in more than one zoning district (C6-2 and M1-4). Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • Note

    In a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    MIH options 1 and 3 apply, so new housing here must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131).

  • Note

    In the Special Inwood District

    In Subareas A2, A3 and B1, lots that are not shoreline adjacent lots are capped at 4.6 residential FAR; shoreline adjacent lots keep the 23-22 affordable FAR. Its floor area rules are applied above (ZR 23-22, 62-322, 23-732, 142-22).

What this doesn't account for

This page shows what public data and the zoning text can tell us. These questions need information that isn't public, or a decision that isn't ours.

  • 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.
