Q & A | What are Lot Line Windows?
Q: What are lot line windows?
| ||||
A: "A lot line
window” is a window that is built on a side of a building that shares a
boundary line with a neighboring property. If the adjacent building is
built up to or higher than this window,
then the lot line window will likely need to be sealed off. For this
reason, lot line windows are not counted towards light and ventilation
requirements.
In condominiums and cooperatives, the offering plan will generally indicate whether there are any lot line windows in the building, and if so, which apartments may be adversely affected by the lot line windows. Review Offering Plan, "Special Risks" section to determine if Lot Line windows are present.
If a
building has lot line windows, it can be very difficult to determine the
probability of whether the lot line windows will actually be sealed
off. Signs indicating that an adjacent property
may be developed (i.e. vacant, adjoining lots or a rental building)
could increase the probability that a lot line window may be sealed
off. An architect or attorney who specializes in zoning and land use
should be consulted.
