New York City Zoning Resolution · Last amended May 8, 2013
New York City Zoning Resolution Section 13-01: General Provisions. Cited in 4 BSA/CPC cases.
In plain English
This chapter doesn't wipe out the normal zoning. The underlying neighborhood or special-district rules stay fully in force, except where this chapter spells out a specific change. So treat the base rules as the default and apply this chapter only where it explicitly overrides them.
