  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 24 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 70.1 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 88.5 m over 24 floors, as the city counts them. 3 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.

What it sold for

21 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $675,000, from 325,000 to 1,550,000.

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.

What is recorded here

Multiple filings, one stable building identifier.
