  • 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.

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 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.

New York City's Building Identification Number helps connect filings that may use different application numbers or describe different scopes of work.

The matched set includes 7 alteration filing. Its latest status categories are 6 approved, 1 under review. Each filing page preserves its own status, dates, scope and source identifier.
