In this post, I want to explain, what is the difference between a cellar and a basement And how it affects your project. Both cellar and basement are below the grade level. according to the NYC zoning law and regulation chapter ZR 12-10, the cellar is a story with half or more than half of the height below the curb level, or in projects that they use the base plane to determine the building height, half or more than half must be below the base plane. To calculate the 50% of the floor height, you need to measure it from floor to ceiling then you can easily find it out. In general, a basement can be habitable, have a dwelling unit with a full bathroom and DOB consider it as Floor Area for your property zoning calculation But cellar, is not a habitable space, cannot have any dwelling unit in it, and must use as an accessory space, but for the zoning calculation, it doesn’t count as Floor Area.
