The city approved rezoning of the 2,966 sq ft vacant lot at 19 Maspeth Avenue from C8-2 to R7D/C2-4, enabling a six-story, 65-foot mixed-use building with 15 apartments above 2,342 sq ft of ground-floor retail. The rezoning includes mapping a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area, resulting in four or five income-restricted units under MIH Option 1 or 2, and the remainder as market-rate units. The proposal yields 16,607 sq ft of total floor area at a 5.6 FAR and is subject to contextual urban design regulations, including a mandatory street wall, rear yard depth, and side yard requirements. The project is located in a Transit Zone and proposes no parking, reflecting the neighborhood’s transit-oriented character. It transforms a fenced commercial parking site owned by New York Heating into residential housing, complementing recent mid-rise developments in Bushwick.
