The developer of a luxury high-rise in New York City must remove its top floors after a New York Supreme Court judge ruled it abused zoning laws to build more stories

In 2017, community advocates discovered that the developer, SJP Properties, manipulated the city’s zoning code and achieved additional height for the tower by owning a unique combination of land lots. New York City’s 1,600-page Zoning Resolution doesn’t cap the number of floors for new construction – height is instead determined by floor area per lot.

New York City’s Department of Buildings approved the permit and was challenged in addition to the developer. The department is now tasked with sifting through the Zoning Resolution to determine how many floors need to be removed, according toA spokesman for the city’s Law Department, Nick Paolucci, told CNN in an email that the city is reviewing its legal options.

Goldstein also told CNN that she hopes the ruling will be an example for other developers who might consider using the zoning code in a similar fashion.Teile diesen Artikel
