Borough

  • Longform Name : Borough

  • Expected/Allowed Values: BX, BK, MN, QN, SI
  • Description: The borough in which the tax lot is located

Two portions of the city, Marble Hill and Rikers Island, are each legally located in one borough but are serviced by different boroughs. The BOROUGH abbreviations associated with these areas are the boroughs in which they are legally located. Specifically, Marble Hill is serviced by the Bronx but is legally located in Manhattan and has a Manhattan BOROUGH code. Rikers Island has a Bronx BOROUGH code because it is legally located in the Bronx although it is serviced by Queens.

Block

  • Longform Name : Block
  • DataType: Number
  • Expected/Allowed Values:
  • Description: The tax block in which the tax lot is located. Each tax block is unique within a borough (see BOROUGH).

Lot

  • Longform Name : Lot
  • DataType: Number
  • Expected/Allowed Values:
  • Description: The number of the tax lot. Each tax lot is unique within a tax block (see BLOCK).

Each unit in a building that is a condominium is defined by the Department of Finance as a separate tax lot. To make condominium information more compatible with parcel information, the Department of City Planning aggregated condominium unit tax lot information so that each condominium complex within a tax block is represented by only one tax lot record.

A condominium complex is defined as one or more structures or properties under the auspicies of the same condominium association. The Department of City Planning then assigned the condominium billing tax lot number to the condominium complex tax lot record. If the Department of Finance has not yet assigned a billing tax lot number to the condominium complex then the lowest tax lot number within the condominium complex was used. The Department of Finance DTM uses the formerly known as (FKA) Tax Lot number for Condominiums. The Department of City Planning has modified the Tax Lot number of DOF DTM by replacing the FKA with the condominiums billing tax lot number. Often the tax lot number can tell you the type of tax lot.

Of course there are exceptions to each convention. Usually tax lot number

  • 1-999 correspond with traditional tax lots;
  • 1001-6999 correspond with condominium unit lots;
  • 7501-7599 correspond with condominium billing lots;
  • 8000-8899 correspond with subterranean tax lots;
  • 8900-8999 correspond with DTM dummy tax lots;
  • 9000-9899 correspond with air right tax lots. The Air Rights Tax Lot goes with the base Tax Lot or Donating Tax Lot.

?> Example: If Tax Lot 32 has Air Rights, those Air Rights would be identified as 9032. When the structure is built the Air Rights Tax Lot is retired. Property owners do not have to create an Air Rights Tax Lot to transfer development rights.

Several building classes describe mixed use buildings (combinations of residential and office or retail uses). A tax lot changes from a vacant to non-vacant building class: 1. With the issuance of Selected Department of Buildings Permits including New Building, Demolitions; and Alterations where there are changes to use, square footage, type and the neighborhood where the permit is issued; 2. When the Assessors sees change in the field; and 3. Feedback from the public.

A tax lot's land use category is derived from the lot's building class (see BldgClass). The Department of City Planning assigned building classes to the most appropriate land use category. Park properties were identified using data sources other than the DOF Building Classes and, where appropriate, were classified with a Land Use Category of 09- Open Space and Outdoor Recreation, regardless of the tax lot's building class.

Lot Area contains street beds when the tax lot contains paper streets, i.e. streets mapped but not built. If the tax lot is not an irregularly shaped lot (IrrLotCode) the Department of Finance derives the Lot Area by multiplying the Lot Frontage by the Lot Depth. If the tax lot is irregularly shaped Fice manually calculates the Lot Area from the Tax Maps. If the lot area is zero, data is not available for the tax lot

BldgArea

  • Longform Name : Building Area
  • DataType: Number
  • Expected/Allowed Values:
  • Description: The total gross area in square feet

Only one data source is used per tax lot (See FLOOR AREA, TOTAL BUILDING SOURCE CODE) except for condo measurements which come from the Condo Declaration and are net square footage not gross. If FLOOR AREA, TOTAL BUILDING SOURCE CODE field has a code of 2 or 7, the TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA is based on gross building area also known as total gross square feet. The TOTAL FLOOR AREA is for all of the structures on the tax lot, including stairwells, halls, elevator shafts, attics and extensions such as attached garages. Measurements are based on exterior dimensions and does take into account setbacks. If the FLOOR AREA, TOTAL BUILDING SOURCE CODE field has a value of 5, the floor area was calculated from the DOF RPAD Master File using the building dimensions and number of stories for ONLY the largest structure on the tax lot. NOTE: This is a rough estimate of the gross building floor area and does not necessarily take into account all the criteria for calculating floor area as defined in section 12-10 of the Zoning Resolution. If a roof is used for parking/garden/playground the square footage is not included in the Floor Area.The two main things that trigger an update is the issuance of a Department of Buildings permit and a request from the owner to update the data.The sum of COMMERCIAL and RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA does not always equal TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA.If the FLOOR AREA, TOTAL BUILDING SOURCE CODE is 2, the TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA contains the Common Area for condominiums. If the FLOOR AREA, TOTAL BUILDING SOURCE CODE is 7, the TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA does not include finished basement below grade. A TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA of zero can mean it is either not available or not applicable. If NUMBER OF BUILDINGS is greater than zero, then a TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA of zero means it is not available. If NUMBER OF BUILDINGS is zero, then a TOTAL BUILDING FLOOR AREA of zero means it is not applicable.

The Maximum Allowable Floor Area Ratios are exclusive of bonuses for plazas, plazaconnected open areas, arcades or other amenities. For properties in Mixed Use Special Districts, PLUTO uses the wide street Maximum Allowable Floor Area Ratio. Since the Maximum Allowable Floor Area Ratio in Mixed Use Special Districts is actually determined by whether the property is located on a wide street or a narrow street, users should consult Section 23-145 of the Zoning Resolution.
