§ 265-60. Front yards.

Where at the time of the passage of this chapter at least 1/2 of the buildings situated on either side of a street between two intersecting streets conform to a minimum setback, no building shall be erected and no existing building shall be altered to project beyond such setback line. The foregoing shall, however, in no case be construed so as to keep the street walls of buildings more than 25 feet back of the property line. Where there are no existing buildings in the block, no new building shall be erected with its street wall more than 20 feet back of the property line.
