Adams unveiled a medley of rule changes to make it easier to build housing across the five boroughs.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday unveiled a sweeping new plan meant to spur more housing development in every New York City neighborhood — from the suburban swaths of Staten Island to the skyscraper canyons of Midtown.
Adams and his deputies have framed the proposal as the most transformative change to the city’s housing landscape since the 1961 introduction of the zoning code, which dictates the size and use of every new building in the city.The package would also allow for taller residential buildings and tiny apartments —— near train stations and along commercial corridors. And it would lift a rule that prevents landlords from turning thousands of offices built before 1990 into condos and apartments.
But the plan doesn’t yet spell out details about income-restricted housing — apartments with rents set at prices affordable to the lowest-income New Yorkers.
