613 8 Avenue, Manhattan 10018 is a 5,925 square foot lot zoned C6-4. RunEnvelope’s engine finds an as-of-right scheme with homes of 71,100 sf (UAP (City of Yes)), against 11,850 sf built on the lot today.
That leaves 59,250 sf more floor area than stands here now, if the existing building were replaced. The largest scheme with homes and no affordability obligation holds 55,738 sf (Max Residential (Sky Exposure Plane)).
City Planning’s PLUTO file lists a residential FAR of 10.00 for this lot, which at 5,925 sf of land is 59,250 sf. The engine’s largest residential-only scheme without an affordability obligation (Max Residential (Sky Exposure Plane)) holds 55,738 sf, 5% less than that simple multiplication suggests. On this lot the building rules, not the FAR, set the limit; the full study shows which one binds.

Floor area is zoning floor area in square feet. Highlighted: the largest scheme with homes. Income-restricted schemes (Universal Affordability Preference, AIRS senior housing) require a share or all of the homes to be affordable. Shared housing counts rooms, not apartments. Schemes that need a landmark transfer of development rights, the FRESH food store bonus or a stack of every program are left off this page; the full study shows them.
As-of-right only: what the Zoning Resolution allows without a variance, special permit or rezoning. Computed by RunEnvelope’s zoning engine on October 23, 2026 from PLUTO 26v2 lot data, in screening mode: the engine uses the City’s recorded lot area and dimensions, not a surveyed lot outline.
This is not a professional opinion, an appraisal or a statement that anything will or should be built here. Existing tenants, leases and the owner’s plans are not part of it.
Why this lot has a page: we publish pages only for lots that clear a set of data quality and headroom tests.
