What is an ADU

What is an ADU?

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are independent, fully equipped living spaces located on the same lot as an existing home.

They may be converted garages, finished basement apartments, or backyard cottages. These small units create valuable additional housing and provide extra income for homeowners.

Thanks to New York City’s City of Yes initiative, building or legalizing an ADU has never been easier.

This forward-thinking policy helps homeowners unlock their property’s full potential. As a result, it also supports long-term solutions to the city’s housing shortage.
