What you can
actually build
on a Great Neck lot.
On a new build the buildable envelope is decided before the architect starts: by depends on the village — nine separate jurisdictions cover the peninsula, by the flood map, and by whatever Great Neck specifically restricts. We establish all three in week one.
- Who approves a new build
- Depends on the village — nine separate jurisdictions cover the peninsula
Great Neck is not one municipality. Great Neck, Great Neck Estates, Kings Point, Russell Gardens, Saddle Rock, Thomaston, Kensington and others each run their own review, alongside unincorporated Town of North Hempstead. This is the most fragmented permitting on Long Island.
- What the flood map dictates
Manhasset Bay and Little Neck Bay frontage is mapped. The peninsula interior is high.

Two houses on the same street can answer to different building departments with different setback rules. We establish jurisdiction in writing before anything else happens.

Can you build a new house in Great Neck?
Yes, ground up. Substantial new construction, often on teardown lots, under whichever village governs the parcel. Their setback and height rules genuinely differ.
Will a Great Neck new build need a raised or flood-compliant foundation?
Manhasset Bay and Little Neck Bay frontage is mapped. The peninsula interior is high. If the parcel is mapped, the base flood elevation sets your first floor height and the entire design follows from that, not the other way round.

Who handles drawings and approvals?
We do. We bring in the architect and structural engineer, coordinate the survey and sanitary design, file with Depends on the village — nine separate jurisdictions cover the peninsula, and carry the application through plan review and any variance it needs.

Typically ten to fourteen months on site once permits are in hand, plus the approval period, which in Great Neck depends heavily on depends on the village — nine separate jurisdictions cover the peninsula and the complexity of the site. We give you a real schedule, not an optimistic one.
