Campuses – Spray Foam Insulation NYC

Across NYC, many campuses, including churches and private residential co-ops, have underused space that they could turn into housing, if arbitrary zoning rules didn’t get in the way.

If existing buildings are too tall or too far back from the street, for instance, zoning prohibits new developments on the property – even if they would comply with current height limits and other regulations. Where housing is allowed, outdated zoning requires tall and skinny buildings that are out of context with their surroundings.

By removing obstacles and streamlining outdated rules, City of Yes for Housing Opportunity makes it easier to add new contextual, height-limited buildings to campuses.
NYCHA campuses are not included in City of Yes.
