Where to find Air Rights or FAR Information
Hi All, Here is my situation: I am looking to buy a single family house that is on the market.

Hi All,
Here is my situation:
I am looking to buy a single family house that is on the market. In my research and discussions I have found out the previous owners sold the air rights to a developer in a neighboring building. I have looked all over ACRIS and the NYCityMap – http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/ to find the information on how much air rights were sold.
Where do I go about finding this information? It obviously has to be public information…
The zoning is R6B and would allow for an extra room on the building, but since the air rights were sold, this may not be possible…
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Check with the Dept of Finance.
Try taking a look on oasis maps :
http://www.oasisnyc.net/map.aspx
Type in the address and click on the ‘location report’ on the upper right side. This will give you some of the stats on the property, and also links to the DOB’s records, the Department of Finance’s records, and a few others.
On an aside, I have never heard of air rights being sold in an R6B zoning….
Good luck,
