"The ADU for You package relies on a set of standard plans for small secondary homes, including an online guidebook, feasibility tools, and cost estimates to help owners build ADUs."
"ADUs support the city's vision for thoughtful infill growth and for creating a variety of housing options for our residents, providing housing that is less water and energy consumptive."
"City officials are working with private architects to assemble a growing library of standard plans that the New York City Department of Buildings has reviewed in advance for code compliance."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is focused on improving New York City's housing supply and affordability by accelerating the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The ADU for You package includes standard plans, an online guidebook, feasibility tools, and cost estimates to assist homeowners. This initiative, legalized in December 2024, aims to simplify the process for homeowners with basements, attics, or backyards. Similar approaches have been adopted in California and Boise, Idaho, promoting sustainable housing options and supporting local residents' needs.
