Transit Oriented Development – Spray Foam Insulation NYC

Modest apartment buildings already exist in lower-density areas of the five boroughs, most of them built between the 1920s and 1950s. However, current zoning bans new ones despite the severe housing shortage.

City of Yes re-legalizes modestly-sized, transit-oriented apartment buildings in low-density residence districts. Sites must be near transit, over 5,000 square feet, and either on the short end of a block or facing a street 75+ feet wide. Buildings can be 3, 4 or 5 stories, depending on zoning district.

These modest “missing middle” apartment buildings will match the scale and character of existing buildings that can no longer be built.
