What decides buildability here

The factors that matter in New York

A preliminary report can organize these nine factors. Available data and local depth vary by address, source, and jurisdiction.

Flood

FEMA flood zones are the first gate here — an SFHA designation changes insurance, financing, and what a lender will touch.

Zoning

Local zoning sets the envelope — height, coverage, density, setbacks — and it is where most projects are actually won or lost.

How it works

Available data, one preliminary view

Buildability geocodes the address, queries available flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and zoning context, and runs the published Buildability Score. Reports identify the sources used and the items that still require local verification.
