Plate 92 of 102QueensQueens Community Board 12

South Jamaica Multi-Service Center

This site can hold about 360–455 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 512. The City's LIFT tracker lists 250 homes.

The tracker's 250 is the City Council's October 2025 figure: up to 250 affordable homes, with a new community center.

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.

  • Operating multi-service center building is on the lot

    City property records list this lot as the South Jamaica Multi-Service Center, used by HRA as a community center and by NYC Health + Hospitals as an ambulatory health facility. City tax-lot data (2026) show one 43,000 sq ft building from 1967 on the lot; the figures shown assume the site is redeveloped.

  • Council deal: new community center and up to 250 homes

    When the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan was approved in committee on October 9, 2025, the City Council announced $16 million to redevelop the South Jamaica Multi-Service Center with a new community center and up to 250 affordable homes. None of the City documents checked gives a site plan or a developer yet.

  • Rezoned under the 2025 Jamaica Neighborhood Plan

    The lot is part of the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan (City Planning project 2023Q0381), which the City lists as completed. City tax-lot data (2026) show R7A zoning in the Special Downtown Jamaica District.

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.

What binds first

Dwelling unit limit

The dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52) holds the site to at most 455 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

Queens Community Board 12's formal requests to the City, from its annual Statement of Community District Needs and Budget Requests.

Each quotation below was found word for word on the cited page by script. None reviewed by a person yet.

Housing the board asked for

  • HousingCapital request to Department of Housing Preservation & Development

    Reconstruct streets

    The board's title names another request type; it filed this with Department of Housing Preservation & Development as “Provide more housing for seniors”.

    “Fund (DOT) curbs on west side of 188th, 192, 193, 195th Streets; 195th Place; Jamaica Ave and Hillside Ave (Jamaica to 91st Ave); Southside of 91st Ave to 187th St.. Due to a high rate of foreclosures and a shortage of affordable housing for seniors, there is a need for additional housing for seniors.”

    FY2027 statement, p. 34 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThe request does not seem to be applicable to the Responsible Agency. OMB cannot make a determination at this time.

Other requests in these categories

  • LibrariesExpense request to Queens Borough Public Library

    Extend library hours or expand and enhance library programs

    “Fund Additional Library Personnel for South Jamaica Branch. The new South Jamaica Branch at Guy Brewer Blvd. and 108th Ave. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 39 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseRestoring and/or increasing funding is needed for this request. It is recommended that this request be brought to the attention of your elected officials i.e. Borough President and/or City Council Member.

  • HealthCapital request to Health and Hospitals Corporation

    Provide a new or expanded health care facility

    “There is a need for a full scale, quality hospital in the district providing and meeting the needs of the community. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 33 · priority 1 of 1 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseFurther investigation is required. Contact the agency.

  • Open spaceCapital request to Department of Parks and Recreation

    Provide a new or expanded park or amenity (i.e. playground, outdoor athletic field)

    “requesting boating and concessions in Baisley Pond park - develop income streams in Baisley Pond Park.. …”

    FY2027 statement, p. 33 · priority 1 of 3 within the agency · awaiting a person's review

    ResponseThis item is not eligible for Capital funding. OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Further study by the agency of this request is needed. Contact the agency.

3 other requests in these categories are listed on the web page.

What gets in the way

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

  • 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 28% of the site (17,300 sq ft).

  • Caution

    The lot has a building on it

    The lot has a building on record with 43,000 sq ft of gross building area, completed around 1967 (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.

  • Note

    In a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area

    MIH options 1, 2 and 3 apply, so new housing here must include permanently affordable homes (ZR 27-131).

  • Note

    In the Special Downtown Jamaica District

    ZR 115-21 keeps the underlying residential floor area ratios (“as set forth pursuant to the underlying district regulations”), except that sky exposure plane buildings are not allowed, and the figures above do not use that option. Its commercial changes cover only C6-3 and C6-4 districts; this site is R7A.

  • Note

    Recently rezoned

    Jamaica Neighborhood Plan (C 250172 ZMQ, N 250173 ZRQ, C 250171 HAQ). The City Council adopted it on October 29, 2025. The figures above use the zoning now in effect.

Nearest subway station: Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer (E J Z), 1.2 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.
