Zoning and Land Use

Zoning Attorneys
Serving Manhattan, NY & the Entire New York Metro Area

Lasser Law Group provides a full array of zoning and land use services. This includes Land Use Applications at the NYC Board of Standards and Appeals, the NYC Planning Commission, the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Borough President’s Office for all five boroughs, the NYC Council, and the local Community Boards. Our zoning attorneys have over 25 years of experience successfully processing land use applications, access agreements, property disputes, and other zoning issues at these public agencies.

Although our focus is in New York City, we also provide zoning guidance for properties located in Manhattan, Westchester County, the Hudson Valley, and Long Island. For more information about our zoning and land use capabilities or to schedule a case consultation, please feel free to contact us today.

Lasser Law Group also represents buyers and sellers in the transfer of excess development rights (a/k/a air rights transfers). We handle the zoning documentation and the purchase agreement, conduct the closing, and negotiate the terms of the transfer as needed. Our air rights attorneys have handled large air rights transfers between Manhattan developers and smaller transfers in residential neighborhoods in the outer boroughs. Air rights transfers are a tremendous opportunity to generate additional value from your property. However, these transfers must comply with complex zoning regulations, and it is essential to retain counsel with zoning expertise.

We provide additional zoning-related services such as zoning opinions for construction lenders and obtaining zoning permits for health clubs.
