Zoning and Land Use Info New York City, Queens, NYC.

[Kevin Dee]

Are there any real books or ebooks out there regarding commercial New York City zoning, laws, requirements, limits? Other than the NYC website, we are looking for a resource we can use to see if a piece of land can be developed.

Thanks

Rather than reading a book maybe take a local zoning attorney to lunch or pony up a few hundred for a consult. That should give you the real inner workings from start to finish and what kind of hurdles that you will face.

Just remember with development your money will be "dead" for  a very long time with costs going out over and over and nothing coming in until you finish the product and hold for cash flow or sell off to do more projects.
