New York City is releasing proposed rules aimed at facilitating the development of ancillary dwelling units (ADUs), including various types of apartments within residential homes. These regulations are part of the City of Yes housing initiative, which seeks to increase housing availability in neighborhoods with restricted large-scale development. Key rules include safety measures, property owner residency requirements, and visibility regulations for unit entrances. Officials believe ADUs present a solution to the housing crisis, offering homeowners the ability to provide rental opportunities or living spaces for family members.
Our administration is taking an important step toward unlocking thousands of safe, legal homes for New Yorkers. Ancillary dwelling units are a solution to our city's housing crisis that allow homeowners to create new homes for family members or renters while keeping our neighborhoods vibrant and livable.
Accessory dwelling units are a proven solution to create much-needed housing, helping older New Yorkers age in place or middle-class homeowners bring in extra income.
