Measuring fontage of a particular NYC block.

Does anyone know of a online tool or if there is a area of NYc.gov that is able to display the frontage of any given block in Brooklyn? Probably a long shot but Brownstoner readers seem to have tons of available information. Thanks for any help.

Google “NYC digital tax map.” Then on the pull down menu on the upper left, choose “address” (rather than the default block/lot). Type in the address and the map will zoom in on the property. The dimensions of each lot will be shown, and you can add them up to get the lot’s length. jcarch ———————— James Cleary Architecture brownstoner.staging.wpengine.com/jamescleary

The easiest place is www.Propertyshark.com I am pretty sure you can access this as a free visitor in the basic information. But keep in mind that the public records are not always correct and a survey will include all encroachments etc. Many historic buildings encroach on neighbors lots, stoops encroach on City property etc.
