Plate 21 of 102ManhattanManhattan Community Board 12

La Ostra (Inwood 9th Ave)

This site can hold about 585–740 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 832. The City's LIFT tracker lists 625 homes.

None of the City documents checked gives the tracker's 625. The City's 2021 filing says the Inwood rezoning's environmental review assumed up to about 575 homes on this site.

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.

  • Housing site formed by a 2021 land swap with Spectrum

    The City's waterfront lot and part of Spectrum's neighboring lot were subdivided and swapped in 2021 to form a North City Lot of about 93,735 sq ft for a mixed-use affordable housing project. Today that land is tax lots 50 (41,038 sq ft) and 75 (52,699 sq ft) on Block 2197. The City's 2021 filing gives about 93,735 sq ft, which matches the two lots' recorded areas (93,737 sq ft together); part of Lot 75 is under water (see the lot area note).

  • 2018 Inwood Rezoning set C6-2 zoning and MIH here

    The site's C6-2 zoning in the Special Inwood District and its Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area come from the Inwood Rezoning, approved by the City Planning Commission on June 25, 2018 and the City Council on August 8, 2018.

  • Waterfront walkway and view corridors are required

    Under the Inwood Waterfront Access Plan, new housing here must provide a 40-foot-wide shore public walkway, upland connections, and visual corridors to the Harlem River along West 218th and West 220th Streets (2021 City application).

  • Sale terms must carry the waterfront access rules

    In June 2021 HPD agreed that its closing documents for the North City Lot will include requirements equivalent to a restrictive declaration for the waterfront public access areas and visual corridors.

  • Spectrum utility-vehicle yard used the land in 2020

    The City's application, filed in February 2021, described the land as an open storage facility for utility vehicles operated by Spectrum New York Metro.

  • HPD sought developers in 2024; bids due January 2025

    HPD issued the Inwood 9th Avenue Request for Proposals for a new construction project in Manhattan Community District 12 in October 2024, with proposals due January 8, 2025.

  • Waterfront lot is in the 1% flood zone; E-designation

    City land records flag lot 75, the waterfront part of the site, as inside the 1% annual-chance floodplain on both the 2007 and preliminary 2015 flood maps, and carrying environmental (E) designation E-459.

  • South waterfront lot kept for future public open space

    A third lot of about 19,349 sq ft, south of the housing site (now lot 78), was reserved for future public waterfront open space and is not part of the housing site.

  • A zoning condition a City document settles

    The City's 2021 filing describes the old Lot 75 as a waterfront zoning lot on the Harlem River and says part of it and part of Lot 47 would be merged into one zoning lot of about 93,735 sq ft, today's Lots 50 and 75. MapPLUTO's outline of Lot 75 runs about 400 feet along the river. In the Special Inwood District a waterfront zoning lot with more than 100 feet of shoreline is a shoreline adjacent lot (ZR 142-04), so the 4.6 FAR cap for other lots (ZR 142-22) does not apply here.

  • Lot area used in the figures

    Lot 75 runs into the Harlem River, and in the Special Inwood District lot area seaward of the shoreline (the mean high water line) does not count toward floor area (ZR 142-21). MapPLUTO's 52,699 sq ft for the lot includes land under water: on the City's tax map, about 63% of the lot's outline lies inside City Planning's borough boundary, which follows the shoreline at mean high tide. The figures use 63% of the recorded area, about 33,000 sq ft. Measured the same way, the three lots that made up the old Lot 75 (today's Lots 75, 77 and 78) come to about 88,400 sq ft landward of the shoreline, against the 89,382 sq ft the City's 2021 filing gives, so the estimate is likely within a few percent.

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

About 9% of the site (6,050 sq ft) 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)

    About 9% of the site (6,050 sq ft) 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)

    About 7% of the site (5,050 sq ft) 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 future high tides on about 6% of the site (4,470 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 11% of the site (7,590 sq ft), nearly all of it nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) and future high tides.

  • Caution

    (E) designation E-459

    On lot 75 (1 of the 2 lots), an environmental requirement (hazardous materials and noise) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.

  • Caution

    1 of 2 lots has a building on it

    Block 2197 lot 50 has a building on record with 2,400 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1930 (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 (C6-2 and M1-4), each covering at least a tenth of it. Floor area is computed portion by portion.

  • 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 62-322, 142-22, 23-732, 23-22).

  • Note

    Partly in a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    About 99% of the site is inside DCP's mapped Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area, where MIH options 1 and 3 apply: new housing on that part must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131). The rest of the site is outside it.

Nearest subway station: 215 St (1), 0.2 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 both of its lots; every compared field and district boundary matched. MapPLUTO's district fields list only C6-2 for lots 1-02197-0050 and 1-02197-0075; DCP's zoning map also puts M1-4 on 1.4% of lot 1-02197-0050 and 10.6% of lot 1-02197-0075, and the figures follow the map. For lot 1-02197-0075 the figures use a lot area of 33,000 sq ft instead of MapPLUTO's 52,699 sq ft; the page's note on lot area explains why. A separate calculation, written from the method page and run on the same downloaded City data on September 25, 2026, reproduced both lots and their area (74,038 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 421,099; with qualifying affordable or senior housing 503,640; community facility 481,247 sq ft), the homes (low 588, base 728, high 740), and the flags and what limits the site first.
