Updated Process For
Mandatory Inclusionary Housing

Properties flagged
in DOB's

Buildings Information System (BIS) Property Profile
as a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) building can
submit a printout from the

NYC Zoning and Land Use (ZoLa) map to prove to
the Department that their property is located outside of
the MIH area. This printout will satisfy the requirement
for HPD Permit and Completion Notices for New Building
and Alteration-CO applications.

To
determine if a building is in an MIH area, you can enter
the buildings� address on ZoLa, and select "Mandatory
Inclusionary Housing Areas" in the sidebar under
Supporting Zoning Layers.
