R7-2 R7D R7X R8 R9 R10
In the districts indicated, portions of #buildings# with #street
walls# less than 45 feet in width shall not be permitted above the
following heights:
- For #interior lots#, and for #through lots#, which shall be
treated as two separate #interior lots# of equal depth for the
purposes of determining the height limitations of this Section,
a height equal to the width of the #street# on which such
#street walls# front or 100 feet, whichever is less;
- For #corner lots# bounded by only #narrow streets#, a height
equal to the width of the narrowest of such #streets# on which
such #street walls# front;
- For #corner lots# bounded by at least one #wide street#, a
height equal to the width of the #widest street# on which it
fronts, or 100 feet, whichever is less;
- The heights permitted in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this
Section may be exceeded if:
- on a #wide street#, such portion of a #building# with a
#street wall# less than 45 feet in width #abuts# an
existing #building# with a #street wall# that exceeds such
permitted heights. Such new #street walls# may reach the
height of such #abutting building# or, where there are two
#abutting buildings# that exceed such heights, such new
#street wall# may reach the height of the tallest of such
#abutting buildings#; or
- on a #narrow street#, such #street walls abut# two
existing #buildings# with #street walls# that both exceed
the heights permitted. Such new #street walls# may reach
the height of the lowest of such #abutting buildings#; and
- such new #street walls# shall be fully contiguous at every
level with such #abutting street walls#.
- In addition, the following rules shall apply:
- The front height and setback regulations and any height
limitations of the underlying district shall apply, except
that the alternate front setback and tower regulations of
Sections 23-642, 23-65, 24-53, 24-54, 33-44 and 33-45
shall not apply. In the event of a conflict between the
underlying regulations and the regulations of this
Section, the more restrictive shall apply.
- The provisions of this Section shall not apply to #street
walls# of permitted obstructions or #street walls# located
beyond 100 feet of a #street line#.
- For the purposes of determining the width of a #street
wall#:
- the width shall be the sum of the maximum widths of
all #street walls# of a #building# at every level.
The width of a #street wall# shall be the length of
the #street line# from which, when viewed directly
from above, lines perpendicular to the #street line#
may be drawn to such #street wall#;
- #abutting buildings# on a single #zoning lot# may be
considered a single #building#, except as set forth
in paragraph (e)(6) of this Section.
- For #buildings# with #street walls# less than 45 feet in
width that front only on a #narrow street# and #abut# two
existing #buildings#, the #street wall# of such #building#
shall be no closer to the #street line# than the #street
wall# of the #abutting building# that is closest to the
#street line#.
- On a #through lot# containing #buildings# with #street
walls# less than 45 feet in width, the provisions of
paragraphs (b) and (c) in Section 23-532 (Required rear
yard equivalents) shall not apply.
- #Quality Housing buildings# shall be exempt from the
provisions of this Section provided the width of the
#street wall# at the maximum base height required by
Sections 23-66 or 35-65 is at least 45 feet. For such
#buildings#, a #street wall# that is less than 45 feet
wide may be constructed above such base. For the purposes
of this paragraph (e)(6), #abutting buildings# on a single
#zoning lot# shall not be considered a single #building#.
However, where all the requisite structural framing and
all enclosing walls and roofs were completed for an
#enlargement#, in accordance with a building permit issued
prior to a September 11, 2007, Board of Standards and
Appeals (67-07-A) ruling that resulted in the
#enlargement# being ineligible for a certificate of
occupancy, #abutting buildings# on a single #zoning lot#
may be considered a single #building# provided such
#zoning lot# is formed prior to August 2, 2011.

permitted heights. Such new #street walls# may reach the
height of such #abutting building# or, where there are two
#abutting buildings# that exceed such heights, such new
#street wall# may reach the height of the tallest of such
#abutting buildings#; or

existing #buildings# with #street walls# that both exceed

level with such #abutting street walls#.
