  1. Floors 2–37Homes884 homes are recorded on this lot — about 25 homes to a floor. The city does not publish which floor any of them is on.
  2. Floor 1Street levelStreet level. The lot is recorded as mixed residential and commercial, so this floor is where the commercial space is.

  • Homes884 recorded on the lot
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 49 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 145.4 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 123.2 m over 37 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.

What it sold for

32 apartments on this tax block changed hands in the year the city last published, at a median of $15,000,000, from 11,347,216 to 62,217,784.

Recorded sale prices from the Department of Finance’s rolling file, covering the year to the last published month. 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.

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 1037552. They should not be read as a single construction project unless the underlying filings say so.

The matched set includes 10 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 9 approved, 1 recorded as completed. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
