East New York (North), Brooklyn

Few neighborhoods in this batch show as even a spread of construction eras as East New York (North). Of its roughly 5,600 tax lots, 61% carry a building recorded from before 1940, only 2% from the 1945-to-1975 postwar boom, and 16% from 2000 or later — a share of recent construction higher than in the prewar-heavy blocks nearby. The median building dates to 1930, splitting the difference between the old core and the newer infill, and standing out against neighboring Cypress Hills, whose own record runs considerably older across nearly every era measured on its page.

The land-use record leans toward one- and two-family use at 56% of lots, with multi-family walk-up use on another 20% and mixed residential-commercial use on 6%. Building classes tell a similar story: 34% two-family homes, 21% one-family homes, and 19% walk-up apartment buildings, at a median height of 2 stories. A small share, 1%, of the recorded stock rises above 6 stories, one of the only pockets of taller construction recorded across this stretch of the borough, where most of the surrounding land-use record stays close to the ground.

90% of lots show recorded floor area still under their district cap, at a median residual of 0.9 FAR, matching the largest margins found in this set of pages. 83% of lots are recorded as residential, holding a combined 16,955 units, in a neighborhood bordered by Brownsville to the south and East New York-New Lots and East New York-City Line along its eastern edge, both of which carry their own distinct construction-era profiles.

None of East New York (North)'s lots are mapped inside the federal flood zone (0%) or recorded within a historic district (0%) on current data — both statements about the map, not about risk or character on the ground. Lot sizes run tight: a median of 2,000 square feet, topping out near 3,663 square feet among the larger recorded parcels, a narrower range than in several of the other pages in this batch.

Set against neighboring East New York-New Lots and East New York-City Line, which show their own distinct construction-era splits on their own pages, East New York (North)'s combination of a 1930 median build year and a comparatively high recent-construction share describes a section of the neighborhood that has kept building in more eras than most of the pages in this batch, without settling into any single decade the way its older neighbors have.
