C7 Zoning District — New York City

This designation is one of the thinner-covered ones in this set: the records carry no reliable year-built coverage, no floor-height coverage, and no development-capacity coverage for its lots. Rather than estimate around that gap, this page reports it plainly — three of the usual stat families are simply unrecorded here, and what follows covers only what is on file for its roughly 72 tax lots.

What is on file is dominated by one figure: 96% of this designation's roughly 72 tax lots fall inside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area, the widest flood exposure recorded across this set. That is a reading of the current federal flood map, not a record of past flooding — but it is the single most consistent fact in this designation's file, and it sits alongside an otherwise sparse record.

Land use here splits between commercial-and-office use at 29% of lots, a further recorded category at 28%, and vacant land use at 25% — one of the higher vacant-land shares in this set. The building-class mix matches that pattern, with 24% of the recorded stock classed as vacant land, alongside other recorded classes at 32% and 28% that this page does not further decode.

Residential use covers just 4% of these lots, with 72 units recorded in total — the thinnest housing footprint in this set by a wide margin. Lots run to a median of 7,341 square feet, with a 90th percentile of 25,903. Between the missing year-built, floor, and development coverage and the recorded flood and vacancy figures, this designation's file reads as a place the records track loosely except where the flood map and land-use rolls are concerned.

What this file ultimately shows is a designation defined more by its flood-map coverage and its vacant-land share than by any conventional building stock: with year-built, floor-height, and development-capacity records all absent, and with just 4% of lots recorded as residential, this reads as ground the tax rolls track thinly outside of the flood and land-use layers. The rules tables above and each lot's own page carry whatever specific figures exist for an individual parcel. Compared with the other designations profiled on these pages, this one has the thinnest general-purpose coverage and the widest recorded flood exposure at the same time, a combination worth reading carefully rather than skimming past, especially given how little else the file has to offer by way of comparison.
