Brooklyn

We’re not sure why — there are no outstanding violations — but, except for a couple of sheets of plywood, there’s been almost no progress on 377 Franklin Avenue over the past three months. Last time this building came up, one commenter suggested that the building might have violated certain zoning laws about lot lines and window placement. “There’s a requirement set by NYC Zoning that says there’s a minimum distance between a lot line and a legally required window in a residential building in an R-6 zone when the building has more than 3 dwelling units, and is higher than 32 ft,” the commenter wrote. “This distance must be 30 ft. This building only provides about 20.” Can anyone add to this analysis or offer any other theories for the stoppage?
