R7A Zoning Code - New York City
What is an R7A Zoning District?
The Quality Housing bulk regulations, which are mandatory in R7A districts, typically produce high lot coverage, seven- and eight-story apartment buildings, blending with existing buildings in many established neighborhoods.
The floor area ratio in R7A districts is 4.0. Above a base height of 40 to 65 feet, the building must set back to a depth of 10 feet on a wide street and 15 feet on a narrow street before rising to its maximum height of 80 feet. In order to preserve the traditional streetscape, the street wall of a new building can be no closer to the street line, up to a depth of 15 feet, than any building within 150 feet on the same block. The area between a building's street wall and the street line must be landscaped. Off-street parking is not allowed in front of a building. Parking is required for 50% of dwelling units, 30% if the lot is 10,000 square feet or less, and may be waived if 15 or fewer spaces are required.
