Mandatory Inclusionary Housing

NYC Zoning Resolution §27-131 (Mandatory Inclusionary Housing), Article II Chapter 7 — formerly §23-154 (Article II Chapter 3), deleted/renumbered by City of Yes for Housing Opportunity (eff. Dec 5, 2024)

In designated Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) areas, no residential development, enlargement, or conversion from non-residential to residential use is permitted unless permanently affordable housing is provided on-site (or, where allowed, a contribution is made to an affordable housing fund). The requirement does not apply to a single development, enlargement, or conversion of not more than 10 dwelling units and not more than 12,500 square feet of residential floor area on a zoning lot that existed on the date the applicable MIH area was established. The program was originally adopted in 2016; as of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity amendment effective December 5, 2024, the general requirement is now codified at §27-131 (former §23-154 was deleted and survives only in transition/vesting provisions).
