Council Member Pierina Sanchez inquires about the geographic distribution of interest in ADUs among the 2,100 homeowners who expressed interest. Kim Darga provides insights into how the interest was spread across the five boroughs of New York City.
- Interest was expressed from all five boroughs, including Manhattan
- Manhattan had the least interest, which Darga notes makes sense given its density and housing typology
- Queens showed the highest demand, followed by Brooklyn
- Staten Island and the Bronx had equivalent levels of interest, both lower than Queens but higher than Manhattan
- The wide geographic spread demonstrates that interest in ADUs is not limited to any one area of the city

And is there any information you can share about the geographic spread of the interests from these 28 100 homeowners?
Kim Darga
0:35:20
Yeah.
0:35:20
So we actually had interest from all 5 boroughs, even Manhattan, which I found very interesting.
0:35:26
It was the it was the least in Manhattan.

They have yards there?
Kim Darga

It was the least in Manhattan.
0:35:33
It would make sense given just the, density and housing typology.
0:35:38
The most demand was in, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx.

And Staten Island, Bronx were pretty equivalent with Queens being first, Brooklyn being second.
