Where uncertainty exists as to the boundaries of any of the aforesaid districts as shown on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
A. 
District boundaries along rights-of-way. Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow street center lines, railroad rights-of-way and land lot lines as they exist on lots of record at the time of the enactment of this chapter. District boundary lines shown along the Hudson River are intended to be coincident with the pierhead line.
B. 
District boundaries on City boundaries and property lines. Where district boundaries are indicated as approximately following the City boundary line, property lines, lot lines or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as to be coincident with such lines or projections.
C. 
Boundaries parallel to other lines. Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the City boundary line, property lines, lot lines or right-of-way lines, or projections thereof, said boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto at such distance therefrom as indicated on the Zoning Map.
D. 
Division of a lot in single ownership. Where a district boundary line divides a lot in single or joint ownership of record at the time such line is established, the regulations for the less-restricted portion of such lot shall extend not more than 10 feet into the more-restricted portion.
E. 
Unclear boundaries. In the event that a district boundary is unclear, the Building Inspector shall request the Zoning Board of Adjustment to render its judgment thereon.
