"Supervisors are set to vote on Tuesday on a proposed change to the city’s building code that would allow construction of among the tiniest apartments in the country."

Shouldn't it be "construction of what are among the tiniest"?

That's what I'd write. I hesitate to say the original sentence is wrong though.

The subject ('of among') shows what is bothersome about not signposting the subordinate clause - having a string of prepositions like this doesn't do much to enhance communication. It's not wrong but it's not advisable.
