Erasmus Street, Brooklyn, NYC.
This project was a ground up 5 story residential building consisting of 21 dwelling units.The oversize lot is located in an R6 zoning district. The design fell under the quality housing program. The Quality Housing Program, mandatory in contextual R6 through R10 residence districts and optional in non-contextual R6 through R10 districts, encourages development consistent with the character of many established neighborhoods. Its bulk regulations set height limits and allow high lot coverage buildings that are set at or near the street line.The Quality Housing Program also requires amenities relating to interior space, recreation areas and landscaping. Parking is provided for 50 percent of the dwelling units.
