M2-2 Zoning District — New York City

Few designations in this file are as small as this one. Just 5 tax lots citywide carry it, which means every percentage below describes only a handful of parcels rather than a citywide pattern — read each figure as a count first, since a single lot changing status here can shift a percentage by twenty points. As with several of the smallest designations in this comparison set, the file also carries no reliable year-built, height, or floor-area-capacity coverage for these lots, an absence worth stating rather than estimating around. That gap sits alongside a building-class file that is otherwise unusually simple for this batch, described below.

What the file does show is a small, split stock. Transportation facilities account for 60% of the recorded building classes, and vacant land the remaining 40% — no other class appears at all. Land use runs the same way, 60% transportation and utility use and 40% vacant land, a designation built around infrastructure and open ground rather than housing or commerce. None of the lots, 0%, are recorded as residential, and the file counts 0 units in total — among the plainest non-residential profiles any designation in this batch can show, with nothing recorded that suggests any housing has ever stood on this ground.

Lot size is where this small file becomes genuinely unusual: the median lot is just 855 square feet, yet the 90th percentile reaches 45,822 — one of the widest spreads, relative to its own median, that a designation this size can show. That combination is consistent with a mix of narrow infrastructure parcels and one much larger holding sitting under the same designation rather than a uniform lot pattern, and it is a reminder that a median calculated from only 5 lots can sit very far from any single one of them.

Every one of these 5 lots, 100%, sits inside the mapped federal Special Flood Hazard Area — full exposure by the federal map, though a statement about the regulatory boundary rather than a record of which lots have actually taken on water. None of the 5 lots, 0%, carry historic-district status on record. Each lot's own recorded class, land use, and flood status is tracked individually, down to the specific parcel — the level of detail that matters most for a designation this small, where a citywide summary can only ever be a rough sketch of five individual records.
