Does Loft or Mezzanine Space Count Towards FAR?

Categories: Construction

I own the top floor condo apartment of a Brooklyn brownstone. The brownstone already exceeeds maximum allowable FAR, but the building could go about 12 feet higher. Is it possible to increase the height of part of the ceiling/roof and build some sort of open loft or mezzanine space that doesn’t count towards FAR?
