R6 zoning permits multifamily residential development, subject to NYC zoning and building regulations. With approximately 2,708 square feet of land and a relatively modest existing building footprint, the property presents an opportunity for developers and investors to investigate potential expansion, enlargement, or redevelopment. Under standard R6 residential zoning, the maximum residential FAR is generally 2.20, potentially representing approximately 5,958 square feet of residential zoning floor area on the reported lot size. This creates an opportunity to investigate the potential for additional residential floor area beyond the existing building, subject to applicable zoning requirements, building envelope restrictions, yards, height limitations, and verification of existing legal floor area. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own architectural and zoning feasibility analysis to determine the property’s full development potential.
