Mott Haven-Port Morris, The Bronx

Mott Haven-Port Morris stands apart from the other neighborhoods in this batch on two counts: lot size and land-use mix. The median lot here runs 2,500 square feet, unremarkable on its own, but the 90th percentile reaches 20,974 square feet — a spread that points to a scattering of much larger parcels among the smaller residential lots. Land use backs that up: just 29% of parcels are recorded as one- and two-family use, with 17% multi-family walk-up and 14% mixed residential and commercial, leaving a larger remaining share in other categories than a purely residential land-use pattern would leave. Only 64% of lots here carry a residential designation at all.

Building-class records lean toward walk-up apartment buildings, recorded on 24% of buildings, ahead of two-family homes at 20% and one-family homes at 9%. Height runs higher here too: a median of 3 stories, with 4% of buildings recorded above 6 stories. That combination — a lower one-family share, a taller median height, and more mixed land use — describes a more urban, mixed-use building pattern on record.

Federal flood mapping covers 8% of the roughly 2,300 lots on record, and a recorded historic district covers 7% — both meaningful, sizable shares, and both statements about current mapped and designated status rather than about what has actually happened on the ground here.

Construction dates run a median year of 1931, with 61% of the stock predating 1940, 6% raised during the 1945-to-1975 postwar boom, and 16% built since 2000. Zoning headroom covers 74% of lots, with a median residual FAR of 1.2. The residual-FAR figure here describes recorded floor-area headroom against the district maximum — a paper measurement, not a forecast. The roll counts 28,785 housing units, a large total set against a comparatively small lot count of roughly 2,300. Mott Haven-Port Morris borders Concourse-Concourse Village, Hunts Point, Longwood, and Melrose, and the districts governing the area mix moderate-density residential categories with manufacturing zoning running along the waterfront edge.

Walk-up buildings, not one-family homes, are recorded as Mott Haven-Port Morris's leading building type in the city's classification — a different pattern from the house-scale profiles common elsewhere in this file. Two-family homes rank second, with one-family homes recorded as the smallest of the three leading categories here — and, at 64%, this profile carries the single lowest share of parcels marked residential of any neighborhood covered in this particular batch of records.
