Public Ground

Plate 58 of 102BrooklynBrooklyn Community Board 5

Linden Gardens

This site can hold about 55–70 homes under the zoning maximum for qualifying affordable housing and a qualifying residential site. 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 96. The City's LIFT tracker lists 37 homes.

The Council's 2023 approval gives about 12 new buildings with 37 co-op homes, matching the tracker.

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.

  • Council approved the project and tax exemption, Dec. 2023

    The City Council approved HPD's Linden Gardens urban development action area project for ten City-owned lots and a property tax exemption covering all twelve lots on December 20, 2023. The plan is about 12 new small buildings with 37 cooperative homes spread over nine separate blocks.

  • Scattered site: twelve small lots on nine separate blocks

    The project is not one parcel. It is twelve separate infill lots in East New York, each getting its own small building; MapPLUTO records their street frontages as 20 to 25 feet.

  • Two lots are owned by the nonprofit partner, not the City

    Block 4208, Lots 10 and 35 (175 Milford St and 446 Logan St) are included in the Council's tax exemption but not in the City land disposition; City records list their owner as Mutual Housing Association of New York.

  • Sale of City land had not closed as of mid-2026

    HPD's 2026 report lists Linden Gardens as not yet closed, with closing expected in fiscal year 2027.

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

Floor area × efficiency ÷ average home size. Efficiency 0.7–0.85; average home 514–599 sq ft. Assumptions and their basis.

Some figures are shown as a span because the Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition public data do not settle: qualifying residential site (R1 to R5), which depends on whether an existing building holds community facility space, or on whether the building contains qualifying senior housing (a program choice).

What binds first

Shape of some parcels

The site is 11 separate parcels. 3 of them fall under the screen for a practical building (18 ft of frontage, 40 ft of depth, 2,000 sq ft): block 4072 lot 25 (1,800 sq ft), block 4072 lot 27 (1,800 sq ft) and block 4083 lot 146 (1,554 sq ft). Their shape or size limits a building on those parcels before floor area does; on the others, floor area is the limit, and the dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 70 homes.

What gets in the way

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

  • 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) on about 13% of the site (3,010 sq ft).

  • 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 about 52% of the site (12,500 sq ft).

  • Caution

    1 of 12 lots has a building on it

    Block 4074 lot 39 has a building on record with 2,680 sq ft of gross building area and 3 homes, completed around 1901 (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

    2 of 12 lots not recorded as City-owned

    MapPLUTO records block 4208 lot 10 and block 4208 lot 35 with no ownership type, not as City property (owner recorded as “MUTUAL HSNG ASSN NYINC”).

  • Caution

    3 of 11 parcels are narrow, shallow or small

    The site is 11 separate parcels. 3 of them fall under the screen for a practical building (18 ft of frontage, 40 ft of depth, 2,000 sq ft): block 4072 lot 25 (1,800 sq ft), block 4072 lot 27 (1,800 sq ft) and block 4083 lot 146 (1,554 sq ft).

  • Caution

    Floor area depends on a condition public data do not settle

    The Zoning Resolution sets different limits depending on a condition that public data do not settle here, so some figures are shown as a span. The note under the floor area figures says which condition, and why.

  • 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.

  • Note

    An optional rule could allow more floor area

    In R5 districts, the predominantly built-up area rules (ZR 23-71) allow 1.65 FAR for standard residences on lots of up to 1.5 acres, on blocks that meet tests of building coverage and of the building types along them in 1987. Public data cannot settle those tests, so the figures leave the option out.

  • Note

    Senior housing could build more

    With qualifying senior housing, ZR 12-10 would make 9 of the 12 lots qualifying residential sites, adding up to 8,827 sq ft of residential floor area (ZR 23-21) for a maximum of 58,209 sq ft. The homes range assumes other housing and leaves that out.

Nearest subway station: Van Siclen Av (C), 440 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 12 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 12 lots and their area (24,744 sq ft), the zoning portions, the floor area (standard 40,329; on a qualifying residential site 48,132–58,209; community facility 62,340 sq ft), the homes (low 56, base 67, high 70), and the flags and what limits the site first.
