M1-1A/R7-3 Zoning District — New York City

This designation covers only 3 tax lots citywide, among the smallest footprints in the file, and the record reflects that scale directly: the median lot size and the 90th-percentile lot size are identical, both 7,240 square feet, because there are too few parcels here for the two figures to diverge at all. The recorded building classes split the stock evenly across three types — two-family homes, warehouses, and store buildings — each at 33% of the file. It is a small, mixed handful of parcels rather than a uniform block of any single use, and every one of the three carries real weight in these shares simply because there are so few of them to average across.

By construction year, 67% of the recorded stock predates 1940, and the remaining third, 33%, falls inside the 1945-1975 postwar boom — none of it has gone up since 2000. The median construction year is 1925, splitting the difference between the prewar majority and the boom-era third rather than sitting inside either one cleanly. Land use tracks that same mixed history: one- and two-family use, mixed residential-and-commercial use, and industrial use each cover 33% of the three lots, mirroring the building-class split above almost exactly. Altogether 67% of the lots are coded residential, with 16 homes recorded across the designation — a small but real residential presence layered onto a site that is, by both use and building class, split roughly into thirds.

The development figures here stand out for their scale relative to how few lots there are to spread them across: every one of the 3 lots, 100%, shows recorded floor area under its allowance, and the typical gap runs wide, a residual of 4.3 FAR — among the largest recorded margins any small designation in this file carries. At a median height of 2 stories and with 0% of buildings rising above 6 floors, the built stock sits well beneath whatever recorded capacity these figures describe, on ground that has clearly not been built to anywhere near its recorded ceiling.

Flood exposure and historic-district status are both absent here: 0% of the three lots sit inside the mapped federal flood zone, and 0% carry historic-district status on record. With a footprint this small, each lot's recorded figures are effectively a case study rather than a citywide pattern — the rules that actually govern the designation, floor area and height alike, are cited in the tables above.
