The NYC Zoning Resolution is the main guideline for development in the City. First thing you will want to do is check out the City’s mapping program ZOLA to see what zoning district, or other conditions, your project may be guided by: http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/template?applicationName=ZOLA Just type in your project’s address at the top right search bar, or zoom and scan by neighborhood as you would any type of google map. For a simple explanation of zoning districts and basic regulations, check out the latest edition of the City’s Zoning Handbook located here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/pub/zonehand.shtml For a detailed explanation of every single nuance of bulk, height, setback, floor area ratio, yard and parking requirements, etc., you will need to check out the Zoning Resolution itself, which can be found here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/zone/zonetext.shtml If you are unable to use these tools, I would recommend a call to your friendly City Planning Borough Office, which can help answer any questions you may have. To find out the number of your borough office, see their contact information here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/about/location.shtml Just tell them the neighborhood your project is in and they will connect you with the appropriate planner. Good luck!
