Search on RegWatch or DCP's ZoLa tool. RegWatch shows zoning alongside all other property data.
R = Residential, C = Commercial, M = Manufacturing. Numbers indicate density. Higher = more dense.
FAR (Floor Area Ratio) determines max buildable square footage. FAR × lot size = max floor area.
Special districts, historic districts, and landmark designations add extra requirements.
Zoning is the single biggest determinant of development potential and property value in NYC. Understanding FAR, development rights, and special district requirements is essential for any serious property analysis.
