The lot

What is already here?

  1. Floors 2–7Homes64 homes are recorded on this lot — about 11 homes to a floor, and the apartments assessed on this block run to a typical 2,366 sq ft (220 m²). The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.

  • Homes64 recorded · typically 220 m² · valued $1,225,127
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 20 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 57.3 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 31.4 m over 7 floors, as the city counts them. 2 runs of floors have something on record. The city publishes a roof height and a storey count for the lot, and nothing at all about any individual floor. What stands to the south is measured from the city’s own footprints and roof heights; it is a statement about the skyline, not a calculation of sunlight.

Housing violations

2 violations are open against this address under the Housing Maintenance Code.

  • 0Immediately hazardous
  • 0Hazardous
  • 2Non-hazardous
  • 0Information order

Open means the Department of Housing Preservation and Development has not recorded it as corrected, which is not the same as nobody having fixed it. The city publishes the apartment each was written against; that is not carried here, because a count says a building has a problem and an apartment number says whose.

The apartments

36 condominium apartments are assessed on this block, and the typical one is 2,366 sq ft (220 m²). They run from 79 to 421 m².

The city values the typical one at $1,225,127. That is the Department of Finance’s market valuation for tax, not an asking price and not a sale.

What it sold for

10 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $1,565,000, from 405,000 to 2,150,000.

Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to Aug 31, 2026. Transfers under $10,000 are left out: New York records deed transfers between relatives at a dollar, and those are not sales. No apartment number and no name is carried from either side.

Owner of record

As the assessment roll records it. Only owners that read as a company are shown here; where the roll names an individual, nothing is published.

Lot facts come from NYC Department of City Planning, Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO) (64uk-42ks), accessed Sep 30, 2026. They describe the tax lot, not any single filing. When the rest of New York went up

Read from the brokerages’ own published listings on October 2, 2026. A home drops off this table the next time they publish a list without it — usually because it sold or let, though a listing can also expire or be withdrawn. What we know is that it is no longer offered, which is why this shows what they have today rather than what we were told once. Everything on the market across the city.

What is recorded here

Multiple filings, one stable building identifier.

New York City's Building Identification Number helps connect filings that may use different application numbers or describe different scopes of work. The records below are grouped because they publish BIN 1014544. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 14 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 2 recorded as completed, 10 approved, 2 under review. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
