Zoning For Accessibility
 |
As of October 7, 2021, all development and enlargement
projects in New York City that are within 50 feet of a
mass transit station, must comply with updated Zoning
Resolution requirements and obtain approval from the
Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) prior to filing an
application with the Department of Buildings.
The change is part of the city's Zoning for
Accessibility program, which seeks to make our transit
system more accessible.
