Questions
What is NYRezone?
NYRezone is an NYC zoning lookup and screening tool. Search an address in the five boroughs for its zoning district, recorded FAR and a 3D estimate. The map is free. A $49 one-time parcel report adds public-record detail; zoning capacity and development rights need independent professional review.
Is NYRezone legit? Where does the data come from?
NYRezone uses NYC Department of City Planning MapPLUTO for parcel and zoning fields and ACRIS for recorded deeds. Its 3D models and scores are estimates derived from public data, not city approvals. Outside NYC, Westchester and Suffolk offer assessment and ownership data; Nassau has parcel geometry only, with no zoning or FAR analysis.
What does a NYRezone report include?
A $49 one-time NYC parcel report brings together zoning district and FAR fields, lot and building area, owner of record, the most recent recorded deed and sale price, and flood-zone information where available. It is a preliminary screen, not a title search, legal opinion, permit or confirmation of buildable floor area. Source records may lag recent changes.
