⚠ Disclaimer

This is a demo page for informational purposes only. Actual ADU eligibility depends on many additional factors not shown here, including:

  • Lot dimensions, setbacks, and rear yard coverage limits
  • Remaining FAR (Floor Area Ratio) capacity
  • Fire safety and Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL) requirements
  • Owner-occupancy status
  • Specific site conditions and DOB approval
  • Owner-occupancy requirement (~45% of lots are investor-owned, further reducing practical eligibility to ~12% per RPA analysis)

Always consult a licensed architect or zoning attorney before making decisions. Data sourced from NYC PLUTO, FEMA NFHL, and NYC DCP.
