R3-2 Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R3-2 Zoning District?
R3-2 districts are general residence districts that allow a variety of housing types, including low-rise attached houses, small multi-family apartment houses, and detached and semi-detached one- and two-family residences. It is the lowest density zoning district in which multiple dwellings are permitted.
The 0.5 FAR (Floor Area Ratio), which is the same for all R3 districts, may be increased by an attic allowance of up to 20% for the inclusion of a space beneath a pitched roof. The perimeter wall of residences of all types may rise to 21 feet before sloping or being set back to a maximum building height of 35 feet. Lots with detached homes must be at least 40 feet wide; if occupied by semi-detached and attached buildings, the lots must be at least 18 feet wide. The maximum lot coverage of any residence is 35% and the maximum street wall length of a building on a single zoning lot is 125 feet. Front yards must be at least 15 feet deep. Cars may park in the side or rear yard, in the garage or in the front yard. One off-street parking space is required for each dwelling unit.
