M1-4/R6A Zoning District — New York City

Pairing a manufacturing base with a residential overlay does not always produce a majority-residential stock, but it does here: 56% of this designation's roughly 340 tax lots are coded residential, and the file counts 2,154 recorded homes across them — one of the more housing-heavy recorded mixes among the paired designations in this batch, and a real contrast with designations elsewhere in this batch where residential coding covers only a minority of lots. At roughly 340 lots, this designation also sits well above the smaller footprints recorded for some of its paired counterparts in this file.

That housing stock reads as largely prewar: 65% of recorded buildings predate 1940, and the median construction year is 1931. The 1945-1975 postwar boom added only 8% to the stock, while 24% of buildings have gone up since 2000 — recent decades outpacing the boom years by a real margin here, even on a stock this old overall, and a further sign of steady, if modest, construction continuing well past the neighborhood's founding era.

Two-family homes lead the recorded building classes at 20%, walk-up apartment buildings follow at 17%, and garage buildings add 13% — a household-and-service mix consistent with the residential majority above. Land use splits between one- and two-family use at 23%, multi-family walk-up use at 17%, and industrial-and-manufacturing use also at 17%, the last a reminder of the designation's manufacturing base even where housing predominates. Buildings rise to a median of 2 stories, with just 2% recorded above 6 floors, keeping the built form low even as the residential share runs high.

Lots run a median of 2,500 square feet, with the 90th percentile reaching 9,374 square feet, a range that leaves room for both typical rowhouse-scale parcels and a handful of larger assembled lots. Flood exposure touches 12% of these roughly 340 lots, and none, 0%, carry historic-district status on record, leaving flood exposure as the only real recorded overlay here beyond the zoning designation itself.

On the development side, 85% of lots record floor area below their allowance, with a median residual of 1.7 FAR — real room, though narrower than some of the more wide-open designations in this batch. Each of the roughly 340 lots carries its own recorded figures separately; the floor-area and height rules governing this designation, with citations, are laid out in the tables above rather than in this summary of the recorded stock.
