Application number N 240376 ZRK (58 Nixon Court Rezoning II) submitted by SLG Assets, Inc, pursuant to Section 201 of the New York City Charter, for an amendment of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York, amending APPENDIX F for the purpose of establishing a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing area, Borough of Brooklyn, Community District 13, Council District 47.
Summary
58 Nixon Court Rezoning II & Mandatory Inclusionary Housing This item, submitted by SLG Assets, Inc., involves a significant land use action at 58 Nixon Court in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn (Community District 13, Council District 47). The City Council has approved an amendment to the Zoning Map (L.U. 405) to change the area from an existing R5 District within the Special Ocean Parkway District to an R7A District with a C2-4 commercial overlay. Concurrently, an amendment to the Zoning Resolution (L.U. 406) establishes a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) area for the site.
The primary intent of these changes is to facilitate the development of a new eight-story mixed-use building on Block 7237, Lots 61, 63, 64, and 65 and Block 7238, Lot 115. This building will feature approximately 16,800 square feet of residential floor area, comprising 19 dwelling units. Crucially, six of these 19 units will be permanently income-restricted to provide affordable housing options. Additionally, the development will include approximately 800 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
The project underwent a public hearing on October 16, 2025, and received recommendations for approval from both the Subcommittee on Zoning & Franchises and the Committee on Land Use on November 12, 2025. The full City Council formally approved the rezoning and MIH establishment on November 12, 2025, through Resolution No. 1140. An (E) designation (CEQR No. 24DCP120K, E-695) was issued on April 18, 2025, to address potential environmental impacts related to hazardous materials, air quality, and noise.
This rezoning will directly impact residents in the Gravesend neighborhood by introducing a new eight-story mixed-use building at 58 Nixon Court. The most significant impact is the creation of six permanently income-restricted affordable housing units, which will increase housing options for lower-income households in the area. The addition of 800 square feet of ground floor commercial space could also bring new local services or businesses to the community.
