Home occupations are currently allowed in New York City, with some exceptions outlined in the zoning code that the city is looking to eliminate.

  • Home-based businesses are permitted in all areas of New York City
  • They are allowed in all types of homes
  • However, there is currently a list of restricted home occupations specified in the zoning code
  • The Department of City Planning is proposing to remove these restrictions on certain types of home-based businesses
