Mayor Eric Adams is proposing what he describes as his most ambitious plans yet to solve the city’s housing crisis.

During an announcement in Tribeca, Adams acknowledged the challenges of working with leaders in Albany on housing policy — but said his housing plan is completely within the city’s authority, which means the city won’t have to go through Albany.

”We created zoning and policies to keep people out not to bring people in,” Adams said. “We’re saying let’s go back and correct the sins of the past.”

Adams believes those sins are decades old zoning laws that limit growth, drive up living costs and drive New Yorkers out of the city, which he said his administration will change to help solve the city’s housing crisis.

Flanked by one of his deputy mayors and his city planning director — Adams said the new plan will help create 100,000 of the 500,000 new housing units the city hopes to create over the next decade.

“Housing is every New Yorkers #1 expense,” Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer said. “Too many New Yorkers feel that the promise of New York is out of their reach.”

The Adams administration said changing the zoning laws will allow it to take action in several key areas.

1. End parking mandates for new housing
2. Create permanent affordable housing in every neighborhood
3. Allow more smaller-sized apartments with shared kitchens or bathrooms
4. Legalize more backyard cottages, garage conversions and basement units
5. Make it easier to turn unused office space into housing
6. Utilize unused land on large campuses

“If you have existing structures that are beyond what today’s zoning allows you can’t actually add anything there and so we are taking a look at this question about how you can expand the universe of campus infill,” Dan Garodnick, Director of the Department of City Planning, said.

While Adams said many construction projects needed are nearly shovel ready, he acknowledged these changes — if approved — will not mean immediate relief for struggling New Yorkers.

“Some of the things that we’re talking about [are] going to take a couple of years before you see the results, but there are things we’re doing now to put housing for people right now,” he said.

Any zoning changes would go to community boards and borough presidents before moving to require passage from the Department of City Planning and City Council.

Adams said the department will begin the process to advancing the administration’s housing plans next week.
