New York City is facing down a housing shortage, all while some apartments disappear. Around 50,000 multi-family row houses have been consolidated to become one- or two-family homes. Combining apartments isn't necessarily a bad thing, but is concerning during a housing shortage. AdvertisementAdvertisementNew York City, famed for its residents stacked upon each other, is actually quietly losing density in some places — and you can blame people expanding their apartments. AdvertisementAdvertisementSome developers are aiming to ameliorate both the housing shortage and post-pandemic glut of office space in the city.

The rate of combinations ramped up in the 1990s as the city came out of an economic crisis. “I’m not trying to begrudge folks who are trying to build a larger apartment as their families grow,” said Adam Brodheim, a preservationist who did the research. “I’m trying to bring attention to the way these actions across the entire city make a meaningful impact on our housing crisis.”On some streets, many buildings that were built a century or more ago as single-family homes and split during the 1900s into multiple units have once again become single-family homes. In the rowhouses on West 88th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus Avenue, there are about 173 units. That compares with more than 400 units on the same street in the 1950s and 1960s, according to Mr. Brodheim, who is also a member of Open New York, a nonprofit that advocates for more development.
