"The Council's landmark 2024 City for All housing package - which secured more than $5 billion in housing investments - and the City of Yes zoning reforms allowed us to build a little more housing in every neighborhood."
"The new legislation ensures cellar apartments created during new construction receive the same rental allowances as those built within existing homes."
New York City Council passed legislation permitting basement accessory dwelling units in newly built one- and two-family homes to be rented. The bill, sponsored by Council Member Pierina Ana Sanchez, aligns the Housing Maintenance Code with zoning reforms from the city's 2024 housing package. These reforms legalized accessory dwelling units, including basement apartments, across many neighborhoods. The new legislation ensures cellar apartments created during new construction receive identical rental allowances as those built within existing homes. This action supports the broader City for All housing package, which secured over $5 billion in housing investments and enabled increased housing development throughout the city.
