This site can hold about 100–128 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 145. The City's LIFT tracker lists 83 homes.
City Planning's 2025 report gives about 83 rental homes on these eight lots, 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.
Approved in 2025 for about 83 affordable rentals
The City Planning Commission (August 13, 2025) and the City Council (October 29, 2025) approved HPD's plan to sell these eight City-owned lots to a developer HPD selects, for about 83 income-restricted rental homes. The report lists the lots at four addresses on Union Hall Street and Guy R. Brewer Boulevard. Two of these adjoin: MapPLUTO's outlines show the Union Hall Street lots (Lots 6, 7, 8 and 10) sharing about 26 feet of rear lot line with Lot 57 at 108-44 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, so the figures treat those five lots as one zoning lot, and Lots 51 and 52, and Lot 54, as two more.
City-owned two-family house (1910) on Lot 54
City tax records for fiscal year 2027 list a two-family house built in 1910 (about 2,400 sq ft) on Lot 54 at 108-38 Guy R. Brewer Boulevard. The 2025 planning report describes the project lots as generally vacant and underutilized.
Rezoned 2025; Council kept Lot 6 at R5D
The Jamaica Neighborhood Plan, approved by the City Council with changes on October 29, 2025, rezoned the boulevard lots to R7A and Lots 7, 8 and 10 to R6D. The Council struck the planned R5D-to-R6D change for the strip within 100 ft of 109th Avenue, and MapPLUTO records Lot 6 as still R5D.
Environmental (E) designations on all eight lots
City records show E-842 (hazardous-materials testing, effective October 29, 2025) on Lots 6, 7, 8, 10, 54 and 57, and E-175 (2007) on the four boulevard lots, for noise and, on Lots 51 and 52, hazardous materials.
What can legally go here
Floor area follows exactly from the Zoning Resolution. Homes are a range, because unit size and building efficiency are choices.
- Lot area
- 22,801 sq ft
- Zoning district
- R5D, R6D, R7A; commercial overlay C1-4, C2-4 on part of the site
- Maximum residential floor area
- 71,997 sq ft10,810 sq ft R7A × 4.00 + 9,549 sq ft R6D × 2.50 + 2,442 sq ft R5D × 2.00
- With qualifying affordable housing, and on a qualifying residential site
- 87,689 sq ft10,810 sq ft R7A × 5.01 + 9,549 sq ft R6D × 3.00 + 2,442 sq ft R5D × 2.00
- Maximum community facility floor area
- 71,997 sq ft10,810 sq ft R7A under a C2-4 overlay × 4.00 + 9,549 sq ft R6D × 2.50 + 2,442 sq ft R5D under a C1-4 overlay × 2.00
Homes, as a range
| Case | Homes | How |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 102 | 87,689 sq ft × 0.7 ÷ 599 sq ft |
| Base | 126 | 87,689 sq ft × 0.8 ÷ 553 sq ft |
| High | 128 | 87,689 sq ft × 0.85 ÷ 514 sq ft = 145, less where each of the 3 separate zoning lots reaches its dwelling unit limit (ZR 23-52: 47,935 ÷ 680 → 70; 24,774 ÷ 680 → 36; 14,980 ÷ 680 → 22) |
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 128 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
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
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.
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.
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.
- Caution
(E) designation E-175 and E-842
An environmental requirement (hazardous materials and noise) must be satisfied before the Department of Buildings issues permits for new development.
- Caution
1 of 8 lots has a building on it
Block 10150 lot 54 has a building on record with 2,400 sq ft of gross building area and 2 homes, completed around 1910 (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
Edge strip of stormwater flooding in an extreme storm (2080s)
Only a strip along the edge of the site, nowhere 5 feet wide and 17 sq ft in all, shows nuisance flooding (4 in to 1 ft) on DEP's Stormwater Flood Map (extreme stormwater flood with 2080 sea level rise). It is shown for reference and not counted as a flood constraint on the site.
- 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; the site's lots in this district are R7A and R6D.
- Note
Partly in a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area
About 90% of the site is inside DCP's mapped Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area, where MIH options 1, 2 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: Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer (E J Z), 0.7 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.
