M1-1/R7-2 Zoning District — New York City

This designation's roughly 160 tax lots carry an unusually active recent-construction record: 34% of buildings on file date from 2000 or later, one of the higher post-2000 shares in this batch, even though the median construction year is 1931 and 58% of the stock still predates 1940. The 1945-to-1975 postwar boom left only a small mark, at 6% of the recorded stock — well behind both the prewar and post-2000 shares, meaning recent decades have added notably more to this designation's stock than the boom era ever did. A prewar share above half, sitting next to a post-2000 share in the mid-thirties, describes a fabric with an old base and a genuinely active recent chapter rather than one or the other alone.

Garages lead the recorded building classes at 19%, with vacant land at 13% and walk-up apartment buildings at 12% — a mix that combines service and residential uses with a real share of undeveloped ground rather than a single dominant use. By land use, mixed residential-and-commercial use covers 20% of lots, vacant land use 13%, and industrial-and-manufacturing use 11%, a spread that leans mixed-use rather than single-purpose across the roughly 160 parcels. That vacant-land share, recorded on both measures, is consistent with a designation still absorbing new construction rather than one that is fully built out.

40% of these roughly 160 lots are coded residential, and the file counts 3,072 homes on them — a solid unit count set against a designation whose leading building class is garages rather than housing. Lots run moderate in size, with a median of 4,250 square feet and the largest recorded parcels reaching 16,368 square feet. Buildings rise to a median of 3 stories, with 21% of the recorded stock climbing above 6 floors — taller, on the whole, than the flatter, garage-led designations elsewhere in this batch, a height gap that pairs naturally with the recent-construction share above.

Development records show real recorded room: 76% of lots carry floor area below their allowance, with a median residual of 2.4 FAR, a wide margin for a designation already this active. None of these lots, 0%, sit inside the mapped federal Special Flood Hazard Area — a reading about the current federal map, not a record of water on any of these roughly 160 parcels — and none carry historic-district status.

Each lot's own recorded specifics sit on its own page, and the floor-area and height rules that govern this designation, with their citations, are set out in the tables above, for anyone checking a particular address against these citywide figures.
