Separating Lots
I’m looking at a property that used to be two separate lots, one was 12×100 and the other 30×100, but there is only a building on the bigger lot and the smaller one is vacant. The lots were legally combined and this property is noted on the Dept of Finance site as one tax lot….
I’m looking at a property that used to be two separate lots, one was 12×100 and the other 30×100, but there is only a building on the bigger lot and the smaller one is vacant. The lots were legally combined and this property is noted on the Dept of Finance site as one tax lot. My question is: Is it possible to separate them back into two lots again? How hard is that process? Where to even begin? Thanks!
agreed with smeyer418.
would still like to find out more from ‘Boerum Hill’ poster…
merging lots is a different animal from splitting one up. I stand by the six months. You know if you answer a different question that the original poster asked you can get someone to do it in five minutes but that still won’t change the answer to the question the poster asked. I helped someone who posts here to get a lot and block corrected-it had to do with them using an informal address that was attached wrongfully to an incorrect lot and block. They had fought with two departments for over a year. It took six months to get corrected and the intersession of the commissioner’s office.
16′?
What was the address? it isn’t permitted by Zoning….a variance or reconsideration could have been issues but i would like to see how that was done…
A little confused by these posts because I am aware of a 16″+ lot that was recently subdivided from from a larger lot. The newly seaparated lot had been part of a larger lot since the 1940s.
Miss Breukelen – you are mistaken if you think this can get turned around in two weeks. Yeah, maybe topo can do what they have to do that quickly, but there is no way you’re getting an amended C/O on the 30′ wide house in 2 weeks.
6 months minimum.
btw – this is not a merger of tax lots.
this is subdivision of zoning lots.
very, very different animals.
Contact Complete Condo Services at 718.875.9100….for a week turn-around on tax lot merger. “6 months to get finalized with new lots & blocks & maps…”-that’s a funny thing because as per TOPO(718.802.3816), the office that issues new addresses, it takes a matter of days, if all parties do what they have to do….SMEYER418 may be you, or the person you hired didn’t do what they had to do.
2 weeks….funniest thing I have heard all week. This will take a minimum of 6 months to get finalized with new lots and blocks and maps needed….
OP— The smaller lot actually might be 12.5′ wide. The existing house is full 30′ wide on a 30′ wide lot.
12′ house may be feasible but considering that you cannot have a 12′ lot, it doesn’t make sense unless side yards are required…
how wide is existing house to remain?
